At this meeting the County Judge of Wap-
ell county, Mr.. Flint, was present and ad-
dressed the m ,etiny. 1t is 1t stated what
was the tenr Of his rem,rks, but, from the
fact TINT he has refused to issue the bond, of
the c,uhty to the Rsiroad Company and the
m,.tins stirie him in this refu sal, it is not
difficult to determine -....... ..
The facts are the County Jud e of w apollo

subscribed one thousand shares, or one hun
drei thpl.anl d,llars to tie capital stock of
the B. 4 N. r. Railroad This sub ,cription
w'S mtts in accordance with vote of the
psople a1i made uncondtionaIly. The SUN
voted although large enough, is not a very
heavy one for the populous and wealthy
county of Wapello. 1t was made to road,
the construction of which is beneficial to the
e1tIr. col lty, As mich so as any sin yle road
can be. Tn, Company have acted in good
faith and built the road in excellent tine.
The hard times which paralyz3d other cor
porations, stopped other public works, and
crippled inlvilu,l enterprize throu .hout the
country had no effect upon the B. & Mr..
Railroad, unless it was to acc cc,!erats its op-
eratioas. 1t has already reached Agency.
