coming, ngentlemaDs who had been
educated az sthe' public expense, sent
abroad In b government slip with a

Railroad Meeting.
denton Review.l

In this city, on the tenth instant
a meeting Of the citizens of tn,
county Of Denton was held to tax,
steps in order to ascertain wha
could be done, by the people of thi
section, that would promote tn,
success and hasty completion of tn,
Dallas and Wichita railroad.
The meeting was called to order
by Colonel J, l.. Lovejoy, jr., OF
motion of whom Judge J. M. Bloun,
was chosen chairman; and on mo
ton OF G. W. Geers, J. Il. Ruddel
was elected secretary.
The chairman appointed a com
mittee of one TO wait on Colonel A
j. Carroll requesting him to attenc
tho meeting,
Judge Venters, by request of The
chairman, gave to the meeting the
facts, so far as he knew them, re,
garding the pending negotiations
for the purchase of the Dallas and
Wichita railroad by parties in St.
Louis. 3
Colonel Carroll then addressed the
meeting, giving some past history
of railroads in Texas. He detailed
probable benefits the completion Of
the Dallas and Wichita railroad
would be to the citizens of Denton
county. With regard to contribu.
tons to said road, he believed the
largo land holders should give more
than any other class, but they would
do well, in case land was not given,
not to part with the titles to the
land until said road was finished to
Denton. He said that he was not
prepared to advise the people what
would DO best for them to do at
present. He did not know that they
could do anything till the condition
of the Dallas and Wichita railroad
became more fixed.
Captain Hoag addressed the meet
ing, giving wholesome advice drawn
from previous knowledge and bust.
ness with railroad companies. He
demonstrated that railroad men
were good financiers, and, as q rule,
exercised that quality in selfish in,
terest. He thought the time had
not come when the people should
act in this railroad matter, but
should await further developments.
Any act taken now expressing the
sympathy of the people with the
success of tho enterprise would be
sufficient. 81N
Colonel J. J., Lovejoy spoke, Civ.
ing the citizens some prudent coun.
sci, guarding them against too much
haste in this matter. He exprassed
his willingness to assist the road
within his ability, and thought that
every ono should do that when the
time come and the officers of the
road asked aid. Ho thought this
meeting was premature, and could
give no advice what action should
be, taken II mEEwFH
On motion of Colonel Carroll, a
committee OF five-Judge Venters,
Messrs. W. t. Clark, J. A. Carroll
Thomas X. Hoag and j. l.. Lovejoy
