Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 February 1898 — Only a Word About the Trolley Line. [ARTICLE]

Only a Word About the Trolley Line.

The people of Remington, who like our own people, were temporarily discouraged by the false reports sent out from a neighboring town about the electrio road, have investigated those reports and know there is nothing, in them. • They have also learned that the people at the Bourbon end of the line have great faith in the road and respect for its projectors. Their interest has therefore fully revived again, and a committee from there is expected early tins week to confer with our with a vievAto more earnest and united action. A general meeting of people favorable to this route, from Fowler, to Francesville, and Winamac inclusive, is being worked up, and will be held in Rensselaer on or about the 16th of February. Several of the head men of the company are expected to bo here at that time. Our route is now the most favored one. Remington is all right and has done its preliminary work. Fowler and all of Benton county the same. Things are also good in Francesville. If now Rensselaer and the people between here and Francesville will get to work, our route will be almost certainly selected. Let us all, press and people, drop our apathy and our disparagements and get the road if any body gets it.
