1t IL now pretty well assured that
Big Sandy will have a railroad in
operation within two or three
years at most. The people Of Big
Sandy should not run wild with ex.
element and become reckless and
careless in their expenditures
The boom that IA railroad bring
generally lasts only while it is
building. Money will be plenty
while the road is building. The
people should be just as careful tc
save what they can make within
the few years OF plenty as though
they expected the seven years oil
famine to follow. II, on the Other
hand, the people live extravaganza
~, few years will find them in
the same condition as most people

a few dollars, had a jubilee while
their money lasted and then in a
worse condition than before they
sold their mineral,
