Water Power Meeting Last Night.
Charles +. Blake was called to the
Chair and j. o. Briscoe appointed
Secretary. The various soliciting
committees reported $5l, 900 of stock
raised mp to this time. Mr.. Sears, the
great water power builder, happened
to be in our city, on his way to Topeka,
Kansas, and being introduced, talked
to the people, explaining many things
in connection with our enterprise.
Mr.. Sears has the most unbounded
faith in the capacity, feasibility and
great importance of our water power,
and gave the largest assurance that 1t
would pay us both in dividends on
the stock and increase in population
and wealth of our city aud county.
After Mr.. Sears closed his remarks q
committee was appointed to solicit
stock who succeeded in raising but q
single share. Hardly man was pres.
ent who had not already subscribed.
Many of them who want the improve.
ment as much a. anybody, but don't
want to do anything to get It, were
absent a. usual. A volunteer com.
mittee was appointed to solicit stock,
who arc to-day busy at work. We

But am iu position to feel certain
that the Company 20 warmly desire q

IL would seem to me, for instance.
that the improvement of your valuable

location Of large milling and manu-

peculiarly attractive to the North and
South road would furnish this induce
ment.
In fact the importance of your city
