Vile.

TArLoRsv1ILE, Sept. %, 1877.
The meeting organized by elect
ing Benjamin Barrere, of Hillsboro,
as Chairman, and Saml. Amen, Of
HilIsboro, Secretary
Mr.. Barrere fully stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting, and urged the
Importance of raising the balance of
the subscription Immediately, if it
was ascertained there was a deficit.
DR.. Noble was called on for a
speech, to which he responded by
making the Narrow Gauge Railroad
speech Of the campaign, after which
the meeting adjouTugd-for dinner.
Dinner over, J. H. Thompson,
Esq, of Hillsboro, was called out,
and, as usual, entertained everybody.
Among other things he said be had
deferred concluding his History of
Highland County, so as to include
among her improvements the com
pletion of this great and important
R, R, running from Maysville to
Columbus. He said this now was
only a question of a very short time.
This was to be his last speech on
this part of the line, and he would
turn his attention at once to that
part Of the road running from Hills
boro to Columbus.
Mr.. S. Feike, of Sardinia, was
next called to the stand, but not be-
ing well, he asked to be excused
from making a speech. He said
Brown county would make her por-
ton of the road.
The time for speeches having pass
ed, the President of the road, Mr.. c..
S. Bell, stated that as nearly as they
could ascertain, $4,000 was neces-
sary to complete the line from Sar-
dinia to Hillsboro, that HiIIsboro
had raised $4,000, which was more
than her portion, as estimated. He
asked to have the reports of the sew
eral committees who had books with
subscriptions. -
Tt was then naseertained, on account
of Mourytown and Dan7ille sub
scriptiOns being mostly conditional,
there was a deficiency. This fact
ascertained, every body seemed to
regard himself as a committee Of one,
and went to work in earnest, and it
was believed that ere the sun went
down the whole amount would be
secured. B. BARRERE, Chm'n.
