Sterling & Rock Island R.R.

We had almost supposed this long talked of railroad project was dead, but we see a notice published calling the annual meeting for the election of directors next month. We wish they would hurry up and finish their road. It wouldn’t do Davenport any injury to have another railroad to Chicago, or indeed half a dozen of them.
