HAS FAITH IN INTERURBAN LINE.

Promoters are Securing Right of Way
---Impression at Waco.
-----

       Ed McCullough, who now lives at Waco, is in the city in attendance upon district court.  Asked what the prospect at Waco was for the success of the interurban line, Mr. McCullough said that the impression among the business men there was that the enterprise had all the essential appearance of success.
       Dr. Barnes, who is the right of way man, is going ahead securing contracts for the right of way and reports that he is succeeding very nicely.  In fact he is meeting with no opposition to amount to anything.
       Mr. McCullough thinks that the Denver electric people, who are promoting a huge electric enterprise in central Texas, expect to secure contract to supply the power for this interurban line and possibly the two propositions are already being considered together.  Should the line be built it will prove a great developer and will cement the cities reached by it in bonds of close sympathy, and Marlin being a health resort with a bright future, will come in for the largest share of the prosperity brought about by the success of this enterprise.
