Mexico weekly ledger., 1908-11-19

Persuant to a call OF the Committee
appointed by the business men OF
Mexico, a meeting Of citizens was held
at the Court House Tuesday after
noon.
Q. +. Clark was elected Chairman
and Rufus Jackson Secretary. Mr..
Clark In y ringing speech declared,
that In bis opinion, the electric rail-
road proposition was the biggest thing
for Mexico, provided the lines extend
TO Columbia, Fulton and points north,
that had been presented to Mexico In
forty years. He had come here forty
one years ago and knew Mexico and
her opportunities fairly well, he stat
ed, and nothing that could come to
Mexico would do the town as much
good as this great railway system,
and II Mexico is successful, she will be
the center OF operation, and in com.
mand of the situation with something
that will be Of a lasting benefit.
A very excellent speech was made
by P. H. Cullen who also endorsed the
proposition and explained the law OF
Missouri under which the company is
rganized. He urged Mexico to do
everything In her power to raise the
balance Of the funds to secure the
lines.
s. P. Emmons, Alex. Carter, H. P.
Warden, Frank Jesse and others made
excellent talks endorsing the PROPOSE
tion
1t was the sense Of. the meeting that
the project had reached such proper
tion and was Of such wide Importance
that active and immediate steps be
taken to complete the funds required
to secure the enterprise.
On motion Of H. P. Warden, and
second by half a dozen Others, a COM
mittee Of ten including the Chairman
was appointed to call upon the bust
ness men and property owners and
raise the remainder of the amount
which Is now something less than
eight thousand dollars, by the sale OF
the company's stock at the rate Of s25
a share.
