Vail Road Meeting at Due West Corner.
BY appointment, a respectable number
of the citizens of the District, and the
place, met at Due West Corner, on
Tuesday the 7th misunderstanding for
their object the formation Of our Rail Road
enterprise. The meeting was organised
by calling DR.. II. r. Gary to the Chair,
and James Browplec, Esq, to act as Sec
retary. The Chair briefly and appropri.
ately explained the object of the meeting,
and urged upon the citizens energetic and
and immediate action i'll this great matter, re-
marking, as TO our having a Road, that it
was nom or mecer and Ill reference to a re-
mark that was thrown out in our meeting
at the Village, on monday, that "the Lions
were on the Savannah side oft District"
he observed that, although we might not
have Lions, yet = G did have, and that they
would shortly be seen, hos. of young
Tigers, Oil the Salnda side.
In reply to a call, H. A. Jones. ESD, in
stead OF a speech, submitted the following
Resolutions :-observing that we had had
speaking enough about this subject-that
the kind of speaking we needed now, was
taking stoch
l. Rcsolced THAT each Stock holder
present double his subscription, and those
who have not subscribed, take as much
again stock as they had intended.
2. Resolrcd That every stock holder
i'll the District, be recommended 10 do like
wise.
These Resolutions were carried unani-
mously; and upon the first, each voter
with we believe but two exceptions, suited
the action TO the word--did, in fact, double
his subscription; and no small subscrp-
ton either, as the most of them had preyi-
ously taken SO shares
Let the seeohM Resolution be carried out.
and we are safe,
L. R. GARY; Chairman.
