Last Nights Meeting.

fe An0t NASAt . m0OI1uk.
A rousing meeting was held last
night, at Taylor & Blake's hall, Of
which Col. Lotspeich was chairman
and J. H. Merrill Secretary.
Hon. J. w. Dixon delivered a pow.
erful speech, after which J. D. Ladd
delivered a short exhortation, when
the work of canvassing commenced
in dead earnest, resulting in securing
notes for $500.
Anoteworthy incident of the meet
ing was tho subscription by Col.
Lotspeich, J. H. Carver. and other
farmers from the country.
4 This great railroad from the Allan
tic to the Pacific is proposed to run
diagonally through Wapollo county
and it's location will at once add at
tho lowest estimate, $500 per acre to
every acre of land in tho county, not
to mention the increased value it will
give our agricultural products, and
the cheapening of imported articles
by the inevitable competition which
will ensue.
Why, thcn, should not our friends
10 the county lend a helping hand?
Not one cent is required until it's
completion, and any man with sense
enough to acquire, or retain a foot Of
real estate, can readily enough sec, if
he wants to, that tho entire 500, 900
required from Wapello county will
be more than cleared on the advance
in farms and their products, the first
year of its completion.
Ottumwa expects to bear tho bur-
den OF this large amount; ncvcrtho-
less, our country friends are rclig-
ious'y, honorably, morally, financial.
ly, and every other way tina, can be
imagined, bound to contribute in pro-
portion to the benefits each one of
them is to derive.

when we used the word thrive"
instead of "thieve," but after all we
