Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1870-01-06


have always been in favor of building
a railroad CT 50 much Of one rs they
were able, Waterloo, Toledo, Tama
City and Belle PLANE have been built
up, IN great measure, by trade from
\ orthern Tama. ASIDE from that, the
cost to us i'll time, horse flesh andhealth,
cannot be computed White we are
anxious for road, and willing to aid
one materially, yet, proiting by the
past, we DO not intend being again hum
bugced. In enumeration last week,
| named some that | expected had no
vitality, having originated IN the brain
Of some engineer i'll search Of a sum
mcrs Job. You mention anothcr,--thc
"Protean Iowa Central" Now that
Is too bad and you living in Toledo
Yet it shows that liberation exis,stherc
| have known people abused by Tole
do men for speaking more respectful
than that, concerning it. Perhaps you
meant the PLUG Is that ''Protean?"
Two gentlemen, representing the
project from Sabula to Ackley, thence
north wcst, met our citizens Thursday
evening. The meeting was large, and
at least one hundred ani fifty of our
largcstfarmers were present, Thcgen-
tlemcn laid their project before us and
said they simply wanted an expression
as to whether we wanted a railroad or
not. On motion of Hon. Joseph by
sart, seconded by G. Jaqua, Esq, it
was
Resolred, That in the opinion OF this
meeting, the people of the north part
OF Tama County will grade the bed of
the Western Union II. Il. through the
northern portion of said County pro
vided the said W. L. r. II. Co. will
locate the said road through the north
part Of Tama County, and bridge, tie,
and iron it.
The gentlemen wishing TO hear from
citizens in regard to the road, short
speeches were made by Mr.. Amcs, Stu
art, Jaqua aud others.
On Saturday evening, Mr. Trip,
President Of the proposed road from
Liscomb to Vinton, thence to Sabula
with Mr. Battin, the Secretary, visited
us. At the meeting they gave Us their
project and what they were DONG
They are now surveying the proposed
route, and the party were that night
at point north OF the residence OF
West Wilsoa, Esq, in Crystal. a
committee of resolutions, consisting of
Hon. James Wilson, G. Jaqua and W.
Wilson, was formed who reported in
substance like those Of the former meet
inc. 4 railroad Is needed, and any
company with the necessary capital
acting in good faith, can secure substan-
,ial AID to build an east and west rail-
road.
The Festival at Tranquility was a
happy affair. The net proceeds was
one hundred and twenty five dollars.
Mrs. Cle,nmer Ames, in the Indepen-
dent, says, in relation to Woman's
Rights: That Woman control the
question, through flour. Ii she will
but give man good bread, she can get
all else" There is wisdom in that;
when man is well fed with good bread,
he feels patronizing and selfsa.isfied,
and of nothing more proud, than of
his wife's baking qualities, il they are
superior. II women could vote as
soon as they become good bakers, the
ladies of tranquility would all be on
the Registry list. Young men with
visions OF nightmare, shcu.d be regn-
lar attendants at that Church.
COUNTY SAFE ROBBERY.
The ending OF that matter caused
profound sensation here, where Cam
cry is we'll known. His parents re-
siae near this village and are respecta-
bic, well,to-do people, who have the
sympathics Of the community; who
also deeply sympathizcs with his
young wife. On Friday, the report
was current that he was dead, and re-
Elections on him ceased. Poor Dent
on, he is to be pitied. With warm
friends who would assist him, having
the respect and confidence Of the coun-
ty, recently married, his future
looked promising for happiness. In
an evil hour he hesitatcd and fell, and
the world moves on, as though he
was not. Here IS lesson for yoang
men. ! trust all will heed it. 4 les
son for parents, to urge not their boys
into stations of trust, until they are
grounded in christian integrity.
