WANT ROAD FROM CLINTON TO DIINN Agitation Far fnaitrsuHnn oooatrmhlon and Kpdpmoot of a railroad from Clinton to Dona through mean* of a bond lasus hag began, and It la hoped by the gentlo mea taking the Initiative in thin pro ject that • charter and a law pcTTnJP tiag a voto on the qocstion of bonds may be eecured during the present session of the Legislature.

Thla feature make* It feasible for the townships that are not so directly Interested la the con struction of tho road to help furalsh the credit to boild it while the town* •hips Interested can well afford to bear tho larger share of the burden. It Is conceived that the bonds could be sold at a very low Interest rate, 1 since they would have both the coun ty's credit and the road behind them, while, In the case of highway bonds, the oounty’s taxable assets are not 1 increased at all and public roads are | not valuable as security. That the road would pay, if any ' railroad wlil, Is practically certain* U Is almost certain that the larger ' part of the freight of tho county 1 would *n.l an outlot la that direction. 1 Moreover, the road would paas J through on* of tho finest agrleuku 1 rat belts (a the whole South, while tho hardwood timber of tho Cohort as, ' which le rapidly being bought up by 1 timber Interests, would bo ultimately ’ be shipped over this line.
