ici pronles of the main line sur
rey, and v;as followed by short
pporting Islr. McKay's statt

lad sufficient confidence iu the

jejs through their towns, which
Ae citizens of Polk County must
have to secure the railroad com-
m through theirs.
The subscription ball was then
set in motion by Mr. E.KKibbe
by subscribing $250. for the com
pany he represents and following
it with his' personal subscription
for $250. The citizens of Colum
bus, followed suit with smaller
sums, which in the aggregate
amounted to $300 .making a total

A number of Tryon citizens
who expected to be present at the
meeting could not come owing to
important advertising matters
for their coming little city in con
nection with the Southern Rail
road demanding their immediate
attention, but the directors of
the N. C. lnterurban will arrange
to meet with Tryon and Mill
Spring citizens next week and it
is expected a large part of the
remainder necessary to make the
survey will be Taised at ' these
meetings. ?
