The election Is over aud our people
hive gained the victory. We deem 1t un'
necessary to give the result in figures
Our people have turned their attention to
more important matters Of the day, and
for the best interests of each and every
individual in this section OF the country
The charter for the Northwestern rail
road through this section has been
granted. The people Of this county need
/ IL and will give II liberal patronage.
There Is not railroad line In the state
that will pay better dividends on the
money invested than the proposed line
through this section.
There are but few acres ofland IN ra-
dius OF ten or fifteen miles of Springtown
that are not productive and yield abund.
ant crops. What business has railroad
through a country where there is moth
ing? We say, nothing. Therefore, we
say (and speak the sentiments OF our
whole people,, that a railroad through
this country will be good investment.
We have the agricultural lands; we have
the water; we have the timber, and from
what we have been informed, few miles
west of US coal has been discovered. But
whether we have the coal or not we have
all the other advantages to make a rich
agricultural district, and without agrlcul-
ture what is country WORTH
We have an industrious class OF farmers
who labor hard every year, and for one to
pass through our secIon the improve
ments will show It. With this class OF
citizens we are confident of the success OF
a road through this country. The coun-
try west Of as is equally as good, besides
IL is better stock country.
Our people are all comparatively poor,
this being new country, but are In for
the progression OF the country, and are
willing to do all in their power to push II
forward.
Artesian water can be mad in album
dance, which is the best we have tasted
since in the state. We have several flow
ing wells that are not more than seventy
five to 100 feet deep. We also have
plenty Of timber, both Of which are adj
vantageous TO railroads, and without
either d railroad can do nothing.
The committee appointed at the meet
ing Monday night Will Visit Fort Worth
and write the leading citizens. They are
better acquainted with the country than
we are, having lived here many years,
aud by Their industry and progressive
energies have built up one Of the mos
beautiful Inland towns in the state, and
all they now ask is railroad to make 1t
one OF the leading BUSINESS centers.
