THE ELECrRIC 0 A
Mr.. Thompson, the Promoter, Met
the Citizens Wednesday Night
at the Court House-The
Proposed Route.

Q. A. Thompson, Of Thompsonville,
No., was in the city and meet with the
business men of Mexico at the Court
House at 1880 Wednesday night to talk
over the feasibility Of constructing an
electric railroad between Moberly,
Middle Grove, ThompsOnyille, Mex
leo, Santa Fe and Perry.
MIR. Thompson met with the bust
ness men OF Moberly Tuesday, and
was very much encouraged by their
interest in the matter. He states
that a large lump Of stock was offered
in that city, and that the best busl-
ness men of that city are willing to
go further In the matter If it receives
the same encouragement at other
towns.
The promoters plan, in the rough,
is to build a single track electric road
from Moberly to Middle Grove, a dis
lance of ten miles; from Middle Grove
to Thompsonyille, another ten miles;
from Thompsonyille to Santa Ee, a
distance OF sixteen miles; from Santa
Fe TO Perry, a distance OF twelve
miles. This may seem, at first glance,
that Mexico is not on the main line,
but this will not be SO, as Mexico will
have a line connecting west of Santa
Fe, twelve miles north Of this city.
Paris, eight miles north Of the main
line, will have connection, as will
Centralia, twelve miles south, These
branches, it is the intention, will Sc
cure full service, as it is thought an
hourly service can be maintained.
Mr.. Thompson thinks that a reason
able city service a be given n Mexi-
CO and Moberly, but,of course, this will
be limited. One of his plans of raising
the stock and securing right of way
will be to have the farmers through
whose land the road will run take 81
in stock for every acre Of ground lying
on the road.
The need of a good electric service
between Mexico and Perry, taking
Santa Fe en- route, is obvious. We
have no connection with Hannibal, Sc
the proposed road would give us good
connection with the short line at Per-
~ for Hannibal.

RUSH HILL, April 15.-Tbe CORES.
pendent to the Laddonia Herald took
occasion last week to use language and
insinuations untrue and unjust. He
starts out by saying, mature smiles
tnls morning. 1t looks as though. on
enat beautiful morning, when every.
tning was beautiful, that something
better, noble and higher would have
niied his mind and soul, but as he was
not conent TO do something good and
noble and say something elevating-
out forgetting Chrlst's words, Bless
ed be the peace maker The goes ON to
SOW the seeds Of dlscord and strife.
lie further says, ''can a man adj.
minister the Lords supper when his
breath smells so strong Of whisky one
would think he had been pulled
through a skunk's nests" Now the
Thought comes, what church and who
does Q. L. J. mean; and where did he
attend church the Sunday previous?
Now this is unjust and untrue Of
any church or any deacon in Rush
Hill or community. One would think
that he vas living in h~eathendom
from the reading Of the article of G. L.
j.
1t seems to us there would be more
Christianity and good il one so gifted
and talented with his pen and his in
fluence in the upbuilding of his coun-
cry, town and churches and work for
Christ rather than sowing seeds of dis
cord and strife.
The good book teaches "that it is
that which cometh out OF the mouth
that dedleth the man, not that that
-goeth into the mouth" Now we have
had considerable strife and division In
our little town for the last IL or IS
months and it is caused by people
that have nothing else to do but at
tend TO eyerybody's business and
writing misrepresenting articles.
Although / write this In defense Of
Rush Hill and her citizens and church,
es, in answer TO Brother O. L. Us
article Of last week, l won't under any
circumstances be brought into any
controversy.

justice and now l am done. "Uast
