other Railroad.

a grand mass meeting is called for Mon
day night, April 90, at which propositions
will be heard aud reports rendered from
committee appointed by 4 citizens meeting
held at Salado a few nights ago. The citi-
ZenS in that community are thoroughly
aroused to the importance of such an I'M
dertakiug. and q few days ago paper
waSs circulated to secure the names OF
prominent citizens who would agree to CO.
operate with men along the line OF pro-
posed road from Temple to Cornhiu and
points west, terminating at present at
Llano. At the Salado meeting q motion
prevailed TO the effect that a committee of
the following substantial citizens be ap-
pointed to solicit along the proposed line of
the road and ascertain as nearly as poSSibl
what aid could be had. Marion Pace, Mac
lin Robertson, l. W. Love, DR.. d. G. Adams,
DR.. Bob Barten, DR.. J. d. Low. Chairman.
J. II. Orr ain; secretary Dr.. E. J. Guthrie.
To hear the report of this committee
the following gentlemen We're appointed
as delegates from Salado and Sum
mer's mill: H p. Robertson, J. W.

There will also be delegations from Flor
ence, Burnet. Marble Falls, Prairiedell,
Cornhill and other points along the pro-

The survey will run through the best
country in the state and there is hardly
question that the people will not subscribe
enough to pay for the road at the rate of
5000 L mile.
There is more in the thing than can at
first blush be seen. 1t brings TO Temple
section Of country hitherto unthOught of as
Il feeder and opens 10 that country a market
not inferior to the best in the state. Il
passes through farming belt already in q
high state of cultivation which would
be stimulated to something like its capacity.
Il would make Temple Jobbing point In
ferior to none, it would lay the foundation
Of 4 demand for 4 road to the pine regions
of East Texas THAT must come TO Temple be
fore We can claim the position in fact
that our geographical advantages ac-
cord US. To say nothing for the great
elevation of Temple which gives US It eli
mate cooler than Fort Worth or Dallas, to
say nothing of advantages i'll choice home
sites that could not be more
fortunate unless nature had built
hill for each house. TO say moth
ing of the untold wealth OF an eXhauStless
fertility Of the soil. OF an unhea"d OF activ-
ity Of citizenship, OF 4 never ending supply
Of water, natural and artificial in its sources,
to say nCthingof any of these. there is pros
pect dawning upon Temple that makes the
bosom heave with an Unborn pleasure.
There are opportunities opening up from
the commercial world that takes only CO.
operation to succeed in pushing to the
front. If men in a position TO make or
break the town viii act in concert
as they have in Fort Worth, twelve
months would find Temple the
coming city south Of Dallas and north of
AraDsas Pass Their are few OF our citi-
zens who are able and are waking up to the
fact that it takes concerted accom- 70 put
Temple in the fore front. Don't forget to
attend the meeting Monday night.-ITem-
