GIVES $4,000
TO CHARLESTON ROAD

HICKMAN, KY, Aug. 2. (Spl.)-At
a meeting Of business men held here
for the purpose of discussing the pro-
posed new railroad from Charleston,
Mo-, to Hickman. 1t was decided that
the city proper would guarantee to put
up SIS, 900 when a track had been laid
to a point opposite or a mile or so be-
low Hickman.
To build this road will cost approx
mately $500, 900, but only $3.50, 900, to be
used as preliminary expense, is to be
raised by the people Of Charleston,
Hickman and property owners along the
route. Instead of a donation, stock in
blocks of 500 will be given In return
for the money. Something like $40, 900
has been pledged by the business men
OF Charleston and considerable portion
OF right of way secured.
It was originally proposed that a line
be drawn halfway between Hickman
and Charleston and that $751; 900 be
raised on each side of the line. This
would give the Hickman committee the
job OF soliciting money In Missis-
sippi county, Missouri. and among peo-
Pile whom very few Hickman people are
acquainted, and as Charleston Is county
seat Of that county, it wal decided at
meeting to ask Charleston people to
work all OF their county and let Hlck-
man people get up a stipulated amount
