Jefferson City, for once in her sleepy
life, Il alive and awake. Her emlssa-
ries are travelling along the proposed
line of the road, trying to turn the
people against this city, and her Peo'
pie are holding meetings and sub
scribing literally for this road to
Warsaw
The people of Warsaw and the
people between here and Warsaw,
would rather aid . road 10 Sedalia
than to Jefferson City; but q railroad
outlet they must and will have. and
it rests with Sedalia to say whether
she will seize the golden opportunity
now presented, and secure great and
permanent advantages, or allow it to
slip through her fingers, and thus
lose the enormous trade that is nat
urally tributary to Sedalia.
Yesterday the citizens Of Williams
township held a railroad meeting at
Cole Camp. They held the meeting
because they wished a road, and be-
cause they had got tired OF talk in
stead of transportation. II was a
meeting to elect delegates to the rail.
road convention to be held in Jefer-
son City. June 18th.
d w. Spicer was elected chairmen,
and DR.. A. r. Kiefer secretary.
The meeting was addressed by DR..
Freed and Major Melton of Warsaw.
The people Of Cole Camp were in "a
vor Of railroad they preferred Sc.
dalia for an outlet, but if Sedalia
would not build one, they must take
the offer of Jefferson City, and they
wanted to know what Sedalia was 60
ing to do.
Mr. j. III. Boutwell, addressed the
meeting. He told them that Sedalia
had taken hold of this enterprise be-
fore Jefferson City had done anything.
SejaIia had done great deal of work
on the prcject-her leading citizens had
subscribed nearly the requisite amount
of stock, and mora was pledged. If
Williams and other townships along
the line of the road would aid her,
Sedalia would build the road to War
saw. equip and run it in the shortest
possible time.
DIR Freed, Major Melton and Mr..
Hastings also made speeches in favor
ofgiving Sedalia one more chance.
After which the following resolu.
ton was passed:
WHEREAS, We, the citizens Of
Williams township, Benton county,
believingwe can secure railroad connec-
ton easier and cheaper BY the Sedalia,
Warsaw Il Springfield Railway, by
way of Cole Camp, be it
Resolved, That We do hereby express
our preference for said road, and
should said company commence work
on said road, in good faith, We agree
to give them our aid; provided said
road shall pass through. or within half
of . mile Of Cole Camp, and that work
be commenced thereon within forty
days. ~ -
1t now remains for our citizens to
say whether this important enterprise
-an enterprise vitality affecting the
interests of Sedalia-shall fall through
and Jefferson City bear away the rich
prise. or whether they will come up
at once snd guarantee the compare
lively small amount that will secure
great, permanent and lasting benefits.
