The soliciting committees who will
bear the brunt of the work Of secur-
ing the 100000 for the new railroad
held joint meeting at the CONNER
cial Club yesterday afternoon at 4:3O
and laid their plans of operation, get
ting the immense task of collecting
the subscriptions well outlined and
sytematized. The town is divided in
to districts and committee has
charge of each. Then, there are two
have special classes of men to call
upon, such as the young men, the
farmers, the business men, etc.
The committeeman started right
yesterday afternoon by giving their
own subscriptions first. This shows
their good faith in the work they are
In and will in manner be guaran-
" to those from whom they will So
scribing is to sign notes to which is
attached a provision that they be-
come due when the railroad is in op-
Grafton, and provided it is in opera
ton within three years from June
"a. 1908.
Dates were arranged yesterday up
on which the different mem bers of
the different committees will work,
beginning today. Within the next
week they will call upon every per
son interested in the welfare of Ros-
WE'LL and all should make up their
minds how much they can give before
hand, and sign up a note promptly
when called upon by the solicitors.
1t is no favor to the committeeman
to give for the road, any more than
to every other man. They are giving
the same as the people solicited, and
n addition are doing the work of get
ting the subscriptions. Treat them
kindly. Treat them literally, and do
1t quickly.
