Pauline (Payne) Young, Sunday after
noon, AZ the Baptist church.
For the Baptist Circle Friday evening,
Professor George l.. vose gave talk on
the History Of Railroading, using notes
prepared for an address . few years
sine, and later brought down 70 date.
After calling attention to the immense
railroad mileage OF this country to-day,
and It's large cost, he cited some OF the
objections made to the introduction OF
railroads, both In England and In this
country; and then, going still farther
back. he noted that even the Introduction
of stage coaches met with the came
opposition. II sounds curious To hear
the statement once made In . legislative
hall, that II steam railroads were inauG-
uratsd, there would be no longer any
use for horses, and the species would
become extinct. Mr.. vose then related
the history Of some Of the hrst railroads
In this country-sll originally built FOR
horse power-and their steady develop
mept into the wonderful system OF rail-
roads which the country has to-day.
His figures illustrating the safety OF
travel BY rail- were doubtless surprising
70 some. Much OF the matter In his
notes Mss omitted from lack OF time, but
the hour Of talk ~hich he gave vas very
entertaining and Instructive. Osiug to
the Storm the audience as sm.ll.
The humps are claiming new victims
among the young people at frequent
