Railroad to Hamilton.
That railroad is coming to
Hamilton, only a short distance
north of Lampasas, and ought to
be brought right on here. Ham-
ilton is going to have a great
celebration on the arrival of the
road. Listen to what the Herald
says in the following:
Celebrate! Well we should
say so! Just watch us! The
Iron Horse of the Stephenville
North and South Texas expects
to come into Hamilton by Nov-
ember 1, and Hamilton is going
to give him the most royal wel-
come ever before accorded to
this great commerce builder.
Bruce Cage, president of the
road, stated last Saturday that
they hoped to get the track com-
pleted by October 20, but there
was little doubt that trains would
run into Hamilton anyhow by
Nov. 1.
The citizens here headed by
Mayor John L. Spurlin, propose
to make a big noise on that day.
-The people of all the surround-
ing country will come and help
extend a’welcome to the visitors
from abroad, for they will be
here. They will come from Fort
Worth, Waco, Comanche, Dublin
and Stephenville, and other
places, to see our town and coun-
ty and we are going to extend
them the glad hand. They say
Hamilton people are hospitable
and extremely sociable, and we
are going to sustain our reputa-
a^er some important business
natters.

feel good a number of times re-
