A meeting in the interest of the above
named narrow-gauge railway was held at
Columbus on Tuesday, j July 10Th, and was
largely attended by citizens of Columbus
and points along the line of the road.
Mr.. Rock, Engineer of the road, ad-
dressed the meeting, and said the Compa-
ny would build the road south of Frank
lin county, and they ask that the people
at this end build the road from the Frank
lin county line into Columbus, and they
asked for about 100000.
Addresses were made by Dewitt c..
Jones and c. P. L. Butler, of Columbus,
and Drs. McClintiek and Pratt, of Mt.
Sterling. DR.. McClintick said: GAS soon
as the Columbus, Jeffersonville and Gin
cinnati road was built as far as Mt. Ster-
ling they would complete the Blue Grass
road from Washington G. HI. to Mt. Ster-
ling, and both would come into Column
bus from Mt. Sterling on the same line.
Then the Blue Grass line would, in time,
open up all the southern country south of
Fayette county, and it would give Column
bus all the trade that now goes to Spring
field, London, CirelevilIe, Dayton and
Washington G. H.''
At the close of the address a motion
was passed appointing the following
named gentlemen to solicit subscriptions
to the stock of the Columbus, Jefferson.
