Later, the road will be extended through Blacklick to Blairs- villo. The Josephine plant, which had been idle for five months, has resumed work and this means that the force of 300 men now at work there will be increased and these people will want to come to Indiana to transact business, legal or otherwise, or to purchase goods at our splendid stores aud increased trade will justify the extension of the road to that town.

K. Briggs one to pay the passage.
