Ih is a certainty, and the whistle of the locomotive will be heard here before four months passes away. The surveying corps, under the nnu-jigeriient of Mr.

G. W. Potter, arrived in Appomattox Monday evening, and put up at the Grand Central hotel. The party left Dodge Sunday driving overland. The men went to work Tttesday morning on the Lakin draw, east of town, and will complete their labors in that direction to-day, when they v.ill turn westward and survey to Trinidad.

Mr. Totter examined the draw at several places, and concluded that the best point to cross would be on the section line, divides Appomattox,) as very little grading and tilling will be re-quired. It was believed by many that would be necessary to go three miles north of point to find a suitable place to cross, but Mr. Potter laughed at the idea, au'd remarked that it would be a saving of nearly to the company to cross the draw on this section line; that it was the shortest and most feasible route. In conversation with The Standard last evening, Mr.

Potter stated that the road would be completed to Montezuma in two weeks. Work will then be pushed on to Lockport and Santa Fe, in Haskell county, as soon as all rights can be secured. The country between Montezuma and Appomattox is very level, and the surveyors' work will be light. He said that the company wanted to reach Trinidad, by fall, for many reasons, and, in his opinion, trains would be, running into Appomattox in four months. The company has no intention of.

building up the Arkansas river, but will make a straight shoot for the coal fields. company own vast coal lands in the vicinity of Trinidad, which accounts for iheir eagerness to their line in there before the snow dies. Our people feel jubilant over the joyful news, and many who had plated iheir property on the market have taken it offv It is evident to all that our city is about to have a boom a substantial one, and' consequently property is advancing. With the Kock Island road and the cur.v.ty seat assured, why shouldn't we grow and prosper. other town in the southwest possesses the advantages of Appomattox, ami no other town offers the inducements to the hoineseeker and investor that il does.

It promises to bo the railroad 'and commercial center of this part oi the country, and wi'l double its population during' year.
