Meeting |
| The adjourned railroad meeting June
27th, was largely attended by the leading business men and farmers, showing conclusively
they meant buisness, and if a united effort on their part was all the was necessary,
Forney would certainly secure the Tyler and Gainesville Road. The meeting permanently
organized by electing N.E. Shands chairman, and J.A. Madden, secretary. After
which the delegates sent to Tyler reported quite an enthusiastic meeting there,
and seemed confident that by all the citizens working in unison, Forney would
secure the road. The delegates also explained the proposed plan for building the
road which seemingly impressed every one present as sound. The following committee
was quickly selected on right of way and subscription with instructions to report
to convention July 6th, at Dailey & McKellar hall at 3 o'clock. We hope every
citizen of the town and precinct will be on hand that day and lend every assistance
possible and we feel sure if Forney succeeds in getting the road incalculable
results will follow. |
