Hon. B. A. Neal, the President OF
the proposed railroad from Cairo TO
Cumberland Gap, paid our town
visit last Friday, and explained his
proposition TO a number of persons
in the Courtroom Friday night
Briefly summarized, Mr.. Neal wants
the people of Trigg county, including
the town of Cadiz, to give 100000,
aud the town of Csdiz, independent
of the county, to give $4,000 addi-
tional, making a total OF 5000 Sc
it will be seen that Cadiz pays $4,000
herself, and then assumes an equal
prOportionate share of the SjOOOO
asked OF the county, and not one dol
lars worth of the bonds is asked TO
be issued until the road is completed
through from Cairo to Cadiz, If the
proposition is accepted by our people,
it guarantees them an uubroken line
of railway from Cairo, ILL.,, 10 Cum

round SUN.
