THE PROSPECTS.

The Union City and Reelfoot
Lake Railroad Company has issued
a prospectus, outlining the various
features of the road-what il con-
templates, industrial development,
advantages from an educational,
social and political standpoint, es-
tlmated prospects of earning power
and relative benefits as an indie
pendent line. All these and many
other interesting points to the
people of the country are colIab-
GRATED and discussed at considera-
BILE length. The document should
be read in every home and thor
oughlY studied in all its details.
What the enterprise means to
Obion County can hardly be esti.
mated. Mathematicians and fnan-
ciers can make their calculations,
and yet when the fulfllwant of
such project has been REALIZED
the wonder will be how they could
haYe SO tar underestimated or I'm
dervalued the enterprise, and the
greatest surprise will be what a
vast difference in the character of
developments from that which had
been anticipated. An opportunity
to promote the building of this
road is now before you. 1t is for
your benefit as we'll as your neigh
oors and you are invited to parti-
cipate to some extent, large or
small, as you may see fit. We
feel that it is one of the events of
a lifetime. Will we accept itl
Union City was offered golden
opportunity many years ago. 1t
was lost. That was the Paducah
and Memphis railroad, now the |.
&, How many men here would be
glad now to have that opportunity
again, even at ten times the price
asked, to include Union City on
their line.
But we are glad to say that the
conditions are not the same as they
we're then. Men are awake now
to the Importance of the interurban
and it will be built. Your help is
needed and very badly at that, but
this opportunity will not be turned
loose if you do squeeze your
American Eagles. Men are now
determined that this road shall be
built, and men who are able ply
sicalIy and financially to make
their word good are undertaking
the task. The star of Union City |
began its return to the ascendancy
two years ago, and among the
things now conspiring to her adj
vantage is the Union City and
Reelfoot Lake Railroad. The turn
has come and it would take an I'M
seen power to change it. There
are many signs of prosperity and
among them there is already |
enough evidence to justify the
statement that this institution is
fixture and that the prospects for
The future of this city are glorious
