December 5, 1889 The Board of Supervisors were in session last Monday and Tuesday. Their proceedings will appear in our next issue. Nearly all of our local matter has ben crowded out this week by our railroad article, but as this is a matter which is of the gravest importance to our people, we are sure the locals can be overlooked. This is a move, which, if carried out, will replace the money that is taken from our county to build it and the road will still be here and ours. Mr. Fred J. Sager, the President of the Columbus Bridge Col, of Columbus, Ohio, and Mr. J. D. Price, also of the same company, are here superintending the work on the iron bridge. Mr. Sager happened to a rather serious accident, however, on the way out here from Brookhave. Mr. Geo. Garrett's mule, which they were driving, scared at something and commenced to run. The occupants of the buggy were thrown out and upon examination it was found that Mr. Sager's shin was fractured and he has been compelled to use crutches ever since. Though not a very serious injury, yet it is quite painful, and will likely cause him considerable trouble yet. A RAILROAD FROM MONTICELLO TO BROOKHAVEN The Citizens Association of Brookhaven, an organization designed to promote the commercial and other interests of that place, have set on foot a movement to get Monticello and Brookhave connected at no distant day by rail. At the meeting of the Association last Friday night a resolution was passed asking the Board of Mayor and Aldermon to appropriate a sufficient amount to have the oine of the proposed road surveyed from Brookhaven to this point, and the cost of construction estimated. About 7 or 8 miles of the line, known as the Hamilton and Hoskins Railroad, has been built for several years, leaving a gap between its eastern terminus and Monicello of about 16 miles. The Illinois Central Railraod owns this finished section, the construction of which cost the original builders about $70,000 and those in a position to know, say the I C will relinquish its interest to any Company or combination that would insure its completion to Pearl river, as it would then prove a valuable feeder to their main line.
