"Farmingtou is one of the few
small towns of Missouri which has
an electric railroad. When the Bel.
mont branch of the Iron Mountain
Railroad was being constructed, st,
Francois county, through which it
runs, refused tu give the railroad
company any bonus, and so the
road was put ns far away as pos
sible from the county seat, Farm
ington. But the county rctaliated
by the construction OF an electric
railroad, which runs from the town
to the railroad, two miles distant, y
fThe electric road, however, was
built years afterwards, and not rs n
retaliatory but "a local enterprise,
and connects not only the Iron
Mountain railroad with Pennington
at DeLassus, but the NJ. Il. d. B. T.
railroad and the Lead Belt at Flat
River.-Editor.
