meeting was called to-day for the
purpose of submitting to our citi-
zens the proposition to subscribe
$50, 900 and secure the right of way
through the county to the Chicago,
Hannibal and Springfield railway.
The proposition of the company is
to raise said amount by individual
subscription, the subscriber to
execute his note payable thirty days
after the completion of the road
through the county. This is con-
sidered by our citizens a very fair
proposition, and the meeting ex-
pressed itself as being confident
that the county could and would
comply with the company's offer.

WORCESTER, Mo-, January TO-
We have, in this vicinity, quite a
number of the moneyed men of the
county; men willing and able to
give, men who are interested in the
welfare of the "banner county"
That they want the railroad is
shown by their eagerness in the
matter and when they talkit means
money. We need the railroad for
reasons too numerous to mention;
and that we will do our part will be
shown at the meeting held at Dye
school house next Friday night.
The present survey III right
through Worcester across the lands
of Logan, Crawford, Underwood,
Hughes, Berry and so on, running
through some valuable farms,
and we think these men will not
only give right of way, but will
subscribe literally but what they
will have the road. The surveyors
have camped with US and say
'that they believe the road is a GER
tainty." Some think a hundred
thousand too much, but all want
the road and want it bad, and that
right away. Land is already on the
rise. A farmer was offered $50. so for
land that cost $50 and that by a
speculative man.
We will look for a business dele
cation from Mexico on Friday
night.
