The Intere.t We Have In Shawnee.

In the fall Of 1866, we a. one Of thres
established q paper called the Somerset
Advocate, for the sole purpose Of agitating
q railroad via Of Somerset to Straitsville or
some where in that locality. After tslk-
ing the mailer up through the columns Of
the Advocate there was finally a meeting
called in the old court room and which
was attended by eight or ten persons. An
Board Of Incorporates formed and u
charter applied for The work Of getting
subscriptions in this locality progressed
favorably. II was then demanded OF the
Board that they procure the undivided
half Of four thousand acres of mineral
land. This seemed TO be a sticking point.
The two papers in New Lexington were
throwing cold water on the enterprise and
ridiculed the idea Of building road via Of
Somesset to the coal fields. For Two long
years we labored hard, day and night, and
did not realize enough out OF our labor TO
buy our tobacco. Finally, over all oppo.
sition the friends Of the road were sncces =
ful, and the grounds where eleven years
ego but one frame house stood, is to day
one of the most prosperous little cities in
tie state. Three thousand souls and at
least twenty millions Of wealth are inside
of her corporate limits, and il we are Lo
badly mistaken she will double her pop
ulA.ion and wealth inside Of the next FIVE
years. We have an interest in Shawnee,
and hope 10 Zee the day when she will be
classed au.ong the largest cities of south
ern Ohio.
