Do the people of Bolivar and

railroad, in order to have a comPe-
ting line running through the coun-
ty, connecting with or crossing the
Tennessee Midland, Illinois Central,
Memphis and Charleston or Mobile
and Ohio, traversing the iron and
coal fields OF Tennessee and Alaba-
ma, not only giving US cheap freight
and cheap fuel, hut opening up and
developing a section OF country
which heretofore has almost been
considered worthless. We are In
formed that this can be done by
giving 5000 TO a company who
proposes. to do the work. This com
pany proposes to build a road from
Bolivar to Whiteville. or Vildo, Oh
some point on the Midland and moi
to receive a dollar until trains art
in operation between Bolivar anC
said point on the Midland. Nov
then we wish TO make this PROPOSE
ton: Let Bolivar vote a tax o
S25, 900 to be paid when the road
completed. Then let the count
court agree to allow the tax whicl
will accrue from said road for
specified time be used to reimburs
the town for money expended. b.
this means a road VIII be secured
which will be a source OF reveun
for all time, the county will be on
nothing, and we will have perma
nent investment which Will beneh
the whole county.
