From the Logansport Daily Journal page 3 dated Aug. 27, 1882:

All the preliminaries for the extension of the Logansport branch of the Vandalia railway to Lake Michigan have been satisfactorily adjusted, and upon compliiance with a few easy conditions the contact will be closed, and the work will be commenced and pushed to completion.

Readers of the Journal are familiar with the route of this line to Marmont (Maxinkuckee), and will have no difficulty in following it to South Bend and the lake...
With these advantages before them, our citizens are asked to consider one of the conditions above named, which condition is that the right of way shall be furnished free to the new line thorugh our county. The estimated cost of this right of way is from $7,000 to $10,000 and it is proposed to raise the amount by subscription. A consideraable portion of this subscription has already been secured, and a committee appointed for that purpose will make an effort to raise the remainder during the present week...

1925 - Jul 8 - Attention to Cottagers

Having heard that only the support of 15 East Side cottagers was obtainred by the the 2 rural carriers in their offer to deliver mail twice a day I beg leave to again call the attention of the cottagers to this matter

I feel sure it has been overlooked. The benefit derived would be greatly enjoyed by all the summer colony. THe charge demanded is only a fair one. Will all the readers of the Citizen whom this effects kindly gibe it their early attention and if interested leave a note in their mail boxes.
