Mr. Visniskki has de¬ veloped a large business for this splendid car, many of bis customers being Flora citizens. For the pres¬ ent the business location wlll remain in Clay City, but ultimately and soon the entire interest wilj be qioved to Flora Where rbeadquarters will be establislied in the commodlims ga¬ rage of tbe Flora Aato Co.
Probably no nian in tbe couaty, aside from Mr. Vlskniskki itlmselt, is better equipped ito take over the BUick agency In this section than Mr. Pixley. He has driven and handled Buick cars for years and Is thoroughly familiar with Its excel¬ lencies. The business ban grown to such proportions that considerable capital is required to run it, which Mr." Pixley can supply and It will prove a valuable acquisition to Flora business  enterprises.

Division Engineer Hthaway and ' Engineer Jarvis were In Olney Tues. day. In company with 8upt. Bd Phillips a final going over of the route between Olney and Sumner was made.
While no announcement Is made ot proposed work it seems likely that some road construotion on the eastern end of the Midland Trail inay he expected this fall.'
If tliere is conatruction 11 may be taken as certain that it will be on sections of the route where the right ot way is clear and no parley¬ ing on this score.
The section between Olney and Sumner df selected for the first work would make a hard road clear trom VIncennes to four miles west ot Ol¬ ney.
Delay  in Clay
Surveyors ot the Midland Trail, It is said were driven ott the work by a farmer west ot Clay CIt.v. The siirveyors simply withdrew and when \people there come to their senses, they will return, Such ac¬ tions simply put off the time when the road can be biillt. But with or witbout objections, the road will be built.
The stretch between Olney and Sumner happily presents no diffi¬ culties as to the right ot way.
