8 The Carrollton Record, in connection witt
, the extension of the G. B. & K. C. R. r. t.
: Carrollton, now determined on, says:-"Il
:. congratulating our people upon receiving tn,
last definite proposition necessary to secur
g the extension of the c.. B. L. K. T.. to Carroll
tor, we cannot forbear saying that to Col. Rob
ert Law, general superintendent, more thai
/ to any other man inthe world ARE we indebted
f Sumner, Col. Law has worked unceasingl,
and untiringly to make Carrollton the point
1 He has converted to his views every oticia
of the road and that by sheer force of indomi
table will and determined energy, backed b
4 arguments and statistics that couldn't be re
y futed, won them over, one after another t.
his view, until the appropriation has BEEF
made aud ofdeTs siyeG to go ahead as tn
right OF way can be secured. He has show,
himself the fast friend of Carrollton, and N
less a far seeing and sagacious friend of tn
compeny he so ably represents. When tn
impetus which the extension will give t
Carrollton as it surely will, 1t will he
: be forgotten that more than to any other ma
c the thanks of the people are due to Co
9 Law" If all this is true rs to Col. Law, an
Q we have no doubt it Is, why do not our citi
zens take the trouble to see him and ~conyinc
him that the extension Of his road to Lexing
: ton is the right thing to do! Or is this to
g Herculean a task for us?
