Railroad Committee Dissolved.

The committee selected and empow-
cred to contract for the building of
railroad to this town, pledging the
right of way and a bonus of 5000
payable when the road was completed,
has faithfully done it's duty, and now
dissolves itself without securing any
party who is able and willing to enter
into a contract to build it. This ac-
tion is deemed necessary under exist
ing conditions for it is the Judgment
of every member of the committee
that a return of the money or notes to
the subscribers of the fund should not
longer be delayed when no evidence
exists to warrant the committee that
it can secure the road. For these
reasons the Bank of Columbia, the
First National Bank, and the Grady
vile State Bank of GradyVille, have
been directed to return all money and
notes to the parties who subscribed.
So far as the committee can see it is
useless to further follow the phantom
of hope in securing the road under the
time allotted it. In justice to every
member of the committee we are
bound to say that an honest, persist
ent effort was made to find a party
willing and able to enter into con-
tract for the construction of the road
under the terms and inducements
offered and every man regrets that it
could not be done. The committee
has not only made an honest effort but
it kept the faith with every subscriber
and is now having returned every dol
lar subscribed and releasing every OBJ
legation made, meeting the expense it
incurred with its own money.
We congratulate the people Of this
county in their effort to secure the
road by putting up $50, 900 in cash as
a free-Will offering and also in their
willingness to guarantee the right Of
way. The failure is not due to indif-
erence or inability of the people for
they met every demand. 1t is not
due to the committee but only to
visionary ideas of would-be promoters
who evidently eVereStimated their
resources. Doubtless the failure may
not be so bad after all for it Demon
strates that the people of this county
Will meet any reasonable demand to
better the public condition. We feel
in making this statement that this
notice is incomplete without paying
tribute to whom tribute is due, there
fore we desire to say: From first to
last, through all stages of the game,
in honest, faithful and capable en-
deaVOr no man put in more time or
exhibited more zeal than Judge W.. w.
Jones. In season and out of season
he kept the faith and never sWerVed
from duty. He was selected as Chair
man Of the committee and presided
as leader Of the enterprise and large
ly to his efforts, enterprise and zeal
the people of this county met every
requirement. We thank the people
for their hearty support, the entire
committee for faithful discharge of
duty and Judge Jones for his personal
and effective work. For the present
we consign the proposition to the
grave, BELIEVING in its resurrection and
success in due time.

have been some cases of smallpox in
Lindsey Wilson, we wish to make a
public announcement to the contrary.
There has never been a case of sick

We know that we ask of you and expect much, for we expect things in keeping with our great things born of the spirit of Nathan Hale; but we know we shall not be disappoint- ed.
 In Imagination and in sympa- thy we shall be there with you on the firing line and at home we shall do all that we can to make you comfortable, and con- tent. We shall pray that you may return in safety, but even more fervently we shall pray that your courage may not flag CT the edge of your determine ton be dulled.
 You are to fight in the noblest cause in which man ever took up arms, and for a nation the nose generous in all the world to her soldier sons.
 You go with her blessing, for she trusts you; and be sure that whether you return or not she will hold your names in honor and grateful memory until the end of time.-Youths' Compan- ion.

VACCINATE YOUR HOGS

Late Summer and early Fall is the time when cholera strikes the hardest. Everyone knows that vaccination is not a cure for hog cholera but. a preventa- tive. So if you wish to save your hogs vaccinate before the chol- era strikes them.
 There are men in all sections of the county who can vaccinate for you.
