Mr. H.P. Paddock, representative of the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern railroad, left Tuesday with a party of Marion county men for Colorado and Wyoming. At Newton, they joined a large party of men from other places who were going west for the same purpose. A train made up of five Pullmans was used to carry the crowd. The new railroad is being built with funds furnished by a large army of stockholders, many of whom are farmers, and a large number of Marion county people have invested in this undertaking. Besides Mr. Paddock, the Marion county members of the excursion party were: H.C. Funk, P.H. Meehan, J.S. Strickler, G.H. Wight, Christ Siebert, J.A. Livoni, Geo. Stenzel, B.F. Dole, Taylor Riddle.

Last week, a gentleman advertised in the Record for the eye glasses which he had lost and the next day after the paper came out he found them in the chicken lot at home.
