60 eight orsten miles to attend
an organ concert. The people
wore clothes made from home

ring the long winter evenings.
Many Of them wore shoes made
from leather tanned at home and
many people wore hats made by

vail tn a considerable extent"
This described a condition that
prevailed throughout this entire

we have no railroad. In that a.
lone we are behind the other
counties of the State. And why
have we no railrad? We have paid
our part OF the taxes that have
built railroads into other parts

OF the State encouraging the rail
roads TO build into our county,
our Legislature must first give to
the people whom we have alrea-
dy helped acheaprate. We would
be we'll content with a five, or
even a ten cent rate. But since
the State has not encouraged the
railroads to build new lines, by
