road meeting at the court house in the even
ing. The notice was short, and not extensive
Not great many people were in attendance
The following gentlemen were elected Officers
Of the meeting: Chairman, C. ". Eskridge;

Mr.. Eskridge stated that the object or the

steps taken by the city council in their direc-
lions.
Several briei and pointed speeches were
made, in which immediate action was urged
in the matter Of securing railroad connection
with the east via Kansas City or Holden.
The sentiment is unanimous on this matter.
It was also the opinion Of the gentlemen
who spoke that several manufacturing estab-
lishments can be secured here during the sea-
son.
A committee was appointed consisting OF n.
c. Cross, d. II. Bates and r. r. Page, to work
with the committee appointed by the Council

pointed to circulate notice Of this meeting.

house ought TO be jammed full.
