ANOTHER RAILROAD MEETING.

ANOTHER RAILROAD MEETING.
The second Of the series of railroad
meetings fnaugurated by our citizens (for
series they propose to make them until
the desired object is accomplishcd) was
held Tuesday evening, at the court house,
per announcement resulting in some
progress. The attendance was not large
not even of the size Of the previous
meeting-but there was unquestionable
earnestness and determination exhibited
and it made one 10 feel that " it was good
to be there" A general discussion pre-
vailed on the relative advantages Of the
roads proposed to be blilt into this com
munity, which should be made first, &c
4 preference was given to the Holden
branch OF the NJ, h. & T. X. r. now
buildingl and next to the road from Tex
as by way Of Wichita md Saina to
Concoriia and the north. The Holden
road would extend the greater present
advantage as an eastern outlet, but the
Texas read being a grand trunk road
would work immense advantage for all
future. Tho two roads were roads to be
sought utter, and is finale it WAS dctcrm-
ined to strive for both. Mes.rs. Clafin,
Ober, Prescott, Sheldon, and Faulkner
were appointed committee to prepare
for the next meeting, secure the services
Of the band for the occasion, &c, and the
meeting adjourned to re-assc'nble to-mor-
row (Frlday) evening. The band has
been secured and it is proposed for It to
march down Santa Fe Avenue, playing,
20 the cour; house, at o'clock, to be fol-
aowed l.y persons bearing transparent
banners, lighted.
1t WAS earnestly requested that every
business man shall be present, and it is
essential to the success of the projected
railroads and the prosperity of our city
and county that they shall come out and
:icaI the helping hand in the furthcrance
of tie good move. Let the meeting be
"a .rnusing one. Action is needed NOW!
