Ray's subscription handed in by Coleman Ray. There is some talk
of changing the location of the Charleston and Prairie City Railroad
and instead of running through by Johnstown to come down the range
line, east of Farmington, and that Col. Adams of Farmington agrees to
donate $3,000 to the Road if the change is made. We understand
that the Surveyors will go to work in a few days to determine which
line the contractors will accept. Either of the lines are
eligible
ones, and would suit our people.

Last week two scoundrels representing themselves as revenue officers visited the store of John N. McMorris of Diona and told him that they had a writ of arrest for him for a violation of the revenue law, for selling Tobacco without a Federal License. McMorris, however, was fast enough for them and produced his license. When they left his store and went to the store of Mr. Divins, and made the same demands, at the same time threatening to arrest him if he did not comply with their demands. Divins toed them that no two such thieves as they were, could arrest him, and that they had better go and get a reinforcement if they wished to take him. This did not suit these fellows, and after some further parley the two left for Union Center where they succeeded in extorting some money from a dealer of that place and left. It is bad enough to submit to the collection of this unjust tax from the proper authorities, but when thieves and impostors levy and collect it from our merchants, it is simply outrageous.
