sthe people all along the line to Red River, hold
meetings and send delegates TO the election and
convention which meets on tho first Monday in
ancSt month ut Houston. authorizing these dole
gates to take stock enough together with the bal
lance of our friends to CONTROL the Election and
ialso to consider the propriety OF adopting such
plan as proposed last summer; that is to organ
iZc companies each company to build twenty five
Imilos more or less TO suit c1nyeniencies, each
company to take stock enough to build their
ton and vote in the controlling of the road in
proportion to the money pid or services per-
formed; the more reflect and consult the people
ion this plan the more thoroughly am convinced
that ths is not only the cheapest, but the quick
lest way in which it can he done. The fact that
the dif,rcn interests are ut war in Houston
makes it more important that the people of he
'county should organize and be wei! represented
lat the election. Every citizen should take hold
and defend himself against such fraud as is being
fpracticed upon US.
The money and land appropriated by the Safe
was tho common property of all, and we ought
Buot to suffer ourselves swindled out of it. In
Sconcluson would say that do, think that by a
united effort we can get the control Of the road
Bbuild it to Red River, within three four years
