Of the Colorado, San Angelo and
Southern Railway company had an
meeting here last Friday.
and also one to-day. 1t was decided
not to indulge in any more talking, or
ask for subscriptions, but to begin
work at once. To this end the services
of a competent engineer will be Sc.
cured, the route surveyed, the right of
way obtained, estimates OF cost of con.
struction made, and the ENTERPRISE
placed ON a sure footing. Whenever
these things are done, the directors
have assurances of pecuniary aid
to build and equip the road.
From this time forward this road will
not exist only In the columns of THE
GAZETTE" but can be counted as an

Baptist Sunday.schools had II union
picnic at the l.. A. ranch on South
Champion, seven miles from Colorado.
Over two hundred children were in
attendance, besides numbers OF
grown-up folks. The dinner is said to
have been a sumptuous affair; good
things in the greatest abundance, so

croquet, mumble-peg, fishing, horse
back riding and counting in the most ap,
proved style were the order OF the day.
In fact, am told that more ''dry-land
fishingn was done by some of the
grown-up young folks than after min.
nows in the creek. 1t is said that a
couple of reverend gentlemen who
