We were informed by a gen- tleman here, this week, that the di- rectors of the St. Louis, Emporia and Western railroad company will, as soon as possible, proceed with their survey trom the east line of this county towards St. Louis.

The subscription was 2 good thing for our town and county; and it will ultimately be the most potent factor in bringing the road, that is built, through Versailles.
