when sweetwatcr was Htrainlng
every nerve to get the Santa Fe rail-
road to build through that town, It
was necessary for certain citizens to
assume the brunt OF the battle. To
that end Ave or six men made note
for 1850, based on subscriptions by
other citizens. Now II ZONES to light
that some OF those pledges have never
been paid. The 1880 note has gone
to a court judgment and the property
Of r. c. Crane, a loyal citizen is to
be sold to satisfy the judgment.
Another citizen contributes an ar
tlcle to local newspaper that must
appeal to the patriotism and conscl-
encc OF the people Of town and II the
people suffer him to be sacrificed, 1t
Is apt to deter other men from ever
putting their holdings In jeopardy for
the public good.
Instances can be cited whore pro-
grcssIye citizens Of means have been
ridden to disgust and have lain down.
In every such case the town has keen
ly felt the loss Of the power and In
fluence of such men. Public enter
prIscs are calculated to benefit all The
citizens and 20 one man should be Inn
posed upon.
II the citizens of swcetwater re-
fuse to come to the rescue Of Mr..
Crane in this case, the reaction Is
ant to prove serious blow to the
progress Of the town.
