Ir 18 COMING. Sure Go This Time. Important M eting—New Office:s and Directors Elected. WORK SOON TO COMMENCE. For the past month or six weeks | re has been a silence in the} vement of the proposed Ft. Scott, . Louis & Chicago railroad to be} jIt through Butler, that caused uch comment and we might as Jl add the truth, some uneasiness. ut the situation has suddenly chaz- | , and things begin to look much ighter. In fact whatever doubt s heretotore existedl in the minds the people, may now be removed, br every indication points to the rly beginning and prosecution of the road as rapidly as money ana men can do it. For some days past it was rumorde hat the directors of the road were mspecting the reute. Upon investi- gation the Times gleaned the facts athe matter and give them here for the benefit ot itsreaders. . The Lexington Intelligencer of lhe 28th of April, contains the fol- ing Pe vesterday morning there arriv- in this city Gev. J. M. Rush, F. . Oakley and P.

Toe party was shown the tewn, the .nes, manufactures,&c., and inves- ted the legal status of the sub- ption tothe road. They stated iy they intended to go over the line }the road from this place to Fort Scott, and if everything was as rep- tesented and fayorable, that the road would be begun right away,and that the portion betweech Lexington and Ddessa would be completed within dirty days. The party seems to be ery agreeably disappointed with the ‘ituation here. They lett in the tvening to go south, and will be able ‘9 report decisively within a week. There 1s.no doubt about the ability ofthe gentleman to build the road, and from their cenyersation here,and the mere tact of their’ visit, there seems to be none that they desire to | Joe.” .: The above named parties in com- gany with several others interested athe building of the road, passed | ‘hrough Butler on Saturday morning | Toute to Ft.

This, principally, was the occasio: of tne visit to Ft. Scott. The money, he said, had been sub scribed at the Ft.

The outlook is certainly more prom1-ing than it has ever been for the building 0: the road, and the Times congratulates the people ot Butler and Bates county upon the favorable indications. ts well as their best wishes for their future health and prespenty.
