A rouSing railroad meeting was
held at EIkton last Saturday to raise
means TO build Il railroad from Guth-
re to Elkton, a distance Of twelve
miles.
The meeting was called to order
by Judge Terry, one of the original
commissioners, who was chosen tC
preside. Mr.. Pctrcc in a brief speech

Major f. IL. Bristow and John Over.
street were elected Secretary and
Assistant Secretary Of the meeting.
A motion was then made by Mr.
Mimms that the matter be postponed
for one month to further the subsclip'
lions. This was vigorously opposed
by several gentlemen. Mr.. Pctrct
said that the engineers had reported
that the road could be built fol
$4,000 cash. The books showed
that So, $50 had already boon made
up and the " after ought not TO be
postponed day.
Mr.. Reeves thought Mimms' mo
zion was a good one and spoke for I
few minutes in favor OF it. After
considerable discussion Mimms with,
drew his motion and the books wcrC
opened for subscriptions. Mr.. Petre(
called on all those who had not takcl
stock 10 come up and subscribe. DR.
Lowcry made Il few remarks Stain:
that postponemcnt would be = dealt
blow to the road. lie was for til,

he would have it built if he had Il

until everything was complete
Without the road the town would q
down, the merchants would NOV,
away and Elkton would never b,
more than q country village. 500
additional subscriptions were tlcl
reported.
After numerous speeches had beer
made and the necessary amount, cX
cepting about $1,000, had been sub
cribed, the meeting proceeded to til
election of directors for the road.
The people of Todd county and es
pccially of Elkton are i'll earnest abou
the building of this road and it i

John j. Cornelison, who cowhided
Judge Ried Of the Superior Court
al Mt. Sterling, last week, is being
severely condemned not only by the
press but by the people of the dis.

conclusively that Ried had no con.
nection whatever with the case de.
cided adversely to Cornelison and
caused the shameful and cowardly
outrage. Cornelison invited Ried
into his Office and then closed the
door and proceeded to cowhide him
lashing and scratching him abou
the head and face.
Cornelison was hung in effigy
