FREDERIC, Mich, Jan. lS, 90.
EDITOR HERALD: Last Monday
night we had a railroad meeting here
for the purpose of seeing what could
be done TO raise means to secure the
right OF way into and through our viii
lage for Mr.. Wards railroad to run
from here to Alba. Mr.. Ward runs
the road through his own lands to with
in one mile of this place, and offered
to build the track into town if we Sc
cured him the right of way. We are
considered abroad as rather little
feeble impecunious people, but any
thing, big or little. who could have
been present at our meeting and wit
messed the earnestness and enthusiasm
exhibited would haua-nonnlndad as n.
logical inference that something would
be done. And something has been
done. To-day, within two or three
hours, the committee appointed at
the meeting Monday night, after care
fully estimating the cost, promptly Sc
cured in good pledges the whole
amount necessary to obtain right of
way, move several buildings out OF the
way, and accomplish other objects
necessary to the successful results of
this new enterprise that will give new
life, prosperity and vigor to this town.
We not only congratulate ourselves.
but feel that we deserve to be congrat
ulated by al fair minded and honor
able people in all fair minded and
honorable places. We are young as a
place, but we are ain bilious when the
right opportunity offers, and intend to
become much more than we now are
within comparative short time
too, not only through our own efforts,
but also the kind and thoughtful gen
crosby of Dir. David Ward in Offering
to expend several thousands of dollars
to bring the terminus of his road
where it will do us the most good.
Some people have supposed that this
railroad was TO be only logging road.
They are very much mistaken, From
the outstart it is to be road for pas
senger travel and general business. 1t
