PIKE COMPANY
INCORPORATED.
Proposed Road to Come By Camp
Knox-.,$l5OOO Subscribed.
Green County in
Earnest.

At meeting of the promoters of the
pike from Greensburg to Adair county
line held in Greensburg, Wednesday,
February 18th, large representative
body of the most enterprising citizens
of the town and southeast end of the
county were present. A motion was
made to organize and incorporate for a
pike from Greensburg to point near
Ebenezer church in Green county, and
from that point run one branch of the
pike to the Adair coun4y line via Camp
Knox, and another branch via Miami to
the Adair county line, inviting and re-
duesting the Adair county people to
meet us at the point best suited to
them, but an amendment was offered in
view of the fact that there was but
one man present from the Miami branch,
and as the CampKnox branch was rep
resented by full and sufficient amount
to build their branch, that the pike
company proceed to incorporate to the
.Adair county line by Camp Knox CIV
ling the Miami branch the opportunity
/ to join the pike as soon as they could
raise their funds, and inviting and re-
questing them to do so at the earliest
possible date. 1t was moved that the
capital Stock be $15,OOO.OO and the
! body proceeded to subscribe the stock,
raising the so per cent required by law
to incorporate, which amounted to ST.
$4,000. The people of the town and
those from the country went to work in
earnest, an all together, the business
men leaving their stores, banks and
offices, and spending the day working
in the interest of the enterprise togeth-
er with the men from the country to
help reach the necessary amount to
incorporate. They succeeded in hav-
ing ST, 500 90 signed up, and the papers
acknowledged and now are ready to be
sent to Frankfort for license and the
books of the company will be opened
for business in few days. We give a

This would not have been accomplished
if every man in the town and in the
country most vitality interested, had not
all worked together; and while the
work is not done, for there are several
thousand dollars more to raise to COM
plete this branch, and every man in the
county must give all he can, and all
elOSC WIN CdlIllOC SlFO biOLOy lilOoC
give their influence, whether this first
branch of pike will run where it ben
efits them or not, for when this is COM
pleted, others will Immediately be be-
gun, and everybody will unite then in
an effort for pixies in every direction
after realizing the great toll they have
paid to bad roads and mud. And then
the pike from Miami, Milltown and
Gradyville must be built, and pixies
from Greensburg to Thurlow, Exile and
Liletown, and to Donansburg, Sum-
mersville and Brush Creek. ST, $780, 90
was signed up to-day. Some 100000
more has been pledged. Encouraging,
Isn't it? A great investment to mon
led people, greater blessing TO all the
people Get stock now if you want it,
for it all may bs taken, and you may
be too late. Then the other SO, 500. 90
must be raised or all is lost, and We
fall back in the mud forever. 1t is
now or never. -Greensburg Record.
