Benton County subscribes to railroad to Kansas City line
The Benton County Court has subscribed four hundred ninety thousand dollars to a railroad company or authorized it to be done. The note questions if this is a bid for the Kansas City and Memphis Railroad and contemplates actions if it proceeds through Benton rather than Greene County. The writer notes past efforts to route the line through Brown Weight and Howell counties and warns residents to act as the enterprise nears fruition. A Justice Department action in Vicksburg is mentioned with an indicted officer killing.
