That Electric Road.

Last Friday evening the Manning
Enterprise Club held q meeting at the
German hall and very good attend
ance was out. President Sutherland
announced the object of the meeting,
which was for the purpose of looking
up the advisability of building an
electric road from Manning to Kim
ballton down in Audubon county, a
distance of about twenty miles. Mr..
M. N. Esbeck, of Kimballton, the main
agitator of the road was present and
made brief statement of the matter
and introduced Attorney w. G. Elliott,
of Audubon, who has had some ex-
perence along this line. Mr.. Elliott
gave us very nice explanation of
the different electric roads that he
knew about, also one that he is inter-
ested in near Des Moines. His idea
was very favorable one of building
of the road. He was followed by a
short speech from Secretary Carpen-
ter anu SeNeFul OUTFITS. L He meeting
was quite enthusiastic all through and
all seemed to thing it good thing to
have the road built. Mr., Esbeck
stated that they had solicited Il few
days and had raised S24, 600 and did
not think it would take any great
amount of work to raise $75, ZOO.
1t was finally decided TO have Chair
man Sutherland appoint soliciting
committee to see what could be done
in getting the business men and farm
ers along the line to agree to give.
Messrs. JOS. Wilson, II. Hoffman and
G. w. Latlar were named The COM
mittee has decided to take little time
to find out all they can about the ex
pense, before making any report, and
up to this time are not ready. The
Monitor will advise the public little
later on. Manning Monitor.
