MCCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 14 1906
Lets Have Peace All Round
The majority of farmers residing in
the rural district are bitterly opposing
the closing of the South road and are
threatening to deal and do their trading
with mail order houses should the South
road be closed On the other hand the
railroad company is handicapped for
track facilities on account of growing
business
The county surveyor claims a fall of
twenty feet from track to water in the
river Honce my suggestion of having
a subway constructed expenses to be
defrayed alike by city county and rail
road company which would be a square
and fair deal all round
Meanwhile remember the Peace
Maker Diamond now handles a complete
and up-to-date line of the famous Ham
