The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1909-06-10

We failed to state last week in an
article under the caption OF 1.-THE
Railroad Proposition" that the hg-
ures submitted we're compiled by the
railroad company and not by us. 1t
was not our intention TO comment on
the value Of the property involved.
but merely to relate the facts con-
corning the probability of the road
stopping in East Hickman, and the
disadvantages naturally following.
We still hold our original opinion
that they will stop in East Hickman
unless they get asmallerprice on the
right.of-way. OF course there
world be no justice inindividualprop-
erty owners making a sacrifice for
the city's interest; but its up to the
citizens TO bear proportional part
Of legitimate price should the in
terest involved appear TO them to
Justify il. Several Of those owning
property along the proposed right-of-
way have told the Courier that when
the present option given the railroad
company expires they will not grant
another option. Another good BUSH
ness man takes the view that II the
railroad does stop in East Hickman.
another road will come in from the
west as a result, thus benehtting the
town. Time alone will tell what the
out come will be, and all We are IN
terested in is the best interest Of
Hickman and her people.

The special revival services al
the Christian church are growing in
interest and numbers. The song
service each evening at z AS led by
Miss Ellen Young, of Hopkinsville,
KY. is full of spiritual enthusiasm.
Miss Young also is training a class
in singing every day at 10 a. m.
All boys and girls from 8 to 16 are
specially invited to come. This is
an opportunity seldom offered. Let
every parent in Hickman urge the
children to come. Those who learn
to sing hymns we'll while young are
not likely to get into Jail when they
are older. These lessons are free
to all. Parents come and bring
your children and help them sing
you will be welcome.-M. L. Blaney
