Let's all pull together for a
railroad into West Liberty.
There has been a lot of wind ex-
pended and it looks like it was
high time matters were taking
definite shape. If some of the
propositions we have heard
discussed were to materialize we
would be left in the center of a
circle with railroads all around
us but none closer than Index.
That would be pretty hole for
West Liberty to get into. We
deserve better things, but they
won't come without asking. If
our business men would get to-
gether and formulate some plan
or system by which they could
reach the promoters and interest
them in all probability we would
see the locomotive steaming into
West Liberty inside of eighteen
months. But it takes co.opera-
ton to do these things. One
man nor two or three men work.
ing alone can't do it. If the
Commercial Club would awaken
from its Rip Van Wrinkle slum-
Der, shake itself a few times and
go to work in earnest, it might
be able to accomplish something.
AT least IN effort won't hurt.
What say you, gentlemen?

He who would build a castle

There has been no word or phrase
