There is not much news in re-
gard to the new rail oad from
Stone City to Giddings, Tin
committee of citizens having in
charge the matter of offering in-
d icements to the company to
come through or by Caldwell,
t ve first of the week made this
offer to the Houston and T< xas
Central officials, at Houston,
through their chief engirue ,
Cspt. E, B. Cushing; a. free ri. i t,
ot w y through the northern
part of town, depot and switch
yards, and in addition pledged
their moral support to get a
right of way, as cheap as possible
through the county.
This is all that the citizens of
Caldwell are able to do. They
would do more it they could. If
this road is built, it «ill mean
much for Caldwell and Burleson
county.
The citizens here have done all
they can to induce tho road to
come here, and it now behooves
the citizens of the county, along
the route, to do the best they can
lor the company, and, aid in any
way they can in getting a rjyht
of way as cheap as is compatible
with honesty and fairness.
It is now up to the company to
say whether or not tlK city's of-
fer will be accepted or rejected.
In other words, Caldwell i*
just like a young fellow, who han
t "popped the ques ion"=ex-
pectantly awaiting the c nswer.
