Democratic Enquirer

The McArthur Enquirer suggests that those who subscribe to build a railroad from Gallipolis to Logan, at least so far as Vinton county is concerned, work out their subscription grading the track. Why would it not be a good idea for Vinton and Hocking counties to turn out and make a frolic of a couple of weeks and fix up the old track of the old railroad and then say to some company: now take it and finish it. Good idea, Mr. Enquirer, if you can't raise the money. Subject referred to Brother T. B. Davis as a committee of one.—[Winchester Times.

It would be a good idea Col. Stinchcomb, for hundreds of men along the uncompleted railroad line in Vinton and Hocking counties make a grand frolic, under the personal supervision of such an earnest and live man as President Langley, and other assistants and finish up all the unfinished portions of the old road—leaving all the heavy fills and untouched portions to be completed as soon as it could be conveniently. Arrangements could be made for having a railroad grading frolic, as well as for having a corn-husking, a barn raising, or even a quilting or wool picking. If properly managed what an enormous amount of work six or eight hundred men boys, horses, and oxen could do in one week.
