Keller, June q. 1872. Secretary
Rail Road Meeting was held at the Cour

deal Of enthusiasm was manifested on th
proposition TO construct a rail road from Mon
teth or Plainwell in Allegan county through
Van Buren, and Berrien counties to Thre
Oaks. There was present large number o
business men who made liberal subscriptions il
aid of that enterprise.
On Tuesday evening another meeting wa
held at the Court House winch was very gen
orally attended Deep interest was manifeste
IN the rail road enterprise and large addition
made to the amount subscribed at the preyiou
meeting. 1t looks as If the people were i
earnest about this project and meant that
shall not fail for lack Of proper aid on thei
part. The present appearances are quit
cheering and # tho people along the line OF tn
proposed route shall be united aud do thei
duty in the way OF contributing material aid
we sec no reason why we may not soon hav
another rail road through our county. W
think the people Of Paw Paw, Lawrence an
Keller should consult their own interests
