runrp1ArK ROAD MEETMa.

The meeting on Saturday night last, on
the subject Of the Plank Road from this
place to Big Black, was organized by call
ing r. X. Pickett, Esq, 10 the chair, and
appointing F. BarksdAle, Esqr., Secretary.
Hon. @. d. Gibbs, explained the object Of
the meeting to be, to solicit additional sub
scriptions for the enterprise. He showed
that although it was Of Uery great import
anca 10 the planters to have a good
road, upon which to take their pro-
duce to market, it was Of much greater i'm
portance to the citizens Of YazOO city, and
they were therefore expected to take he lead
in the matter. Let those most interested
come forward in earnest and shew that they
intendto use every e1ertiOn in their power
10 build the road, and others, the planters
who are deeply interested, will come for
ward and aid, The subject originated in
Yazoo city, and the planters. even though
they were equally interested, would feel ralh
er backward, to come and take il out Of our
hands. II therefore anything was done, thiI
place must put II in motion. Thirty thous
and dollars were required by the charter, L
be subscribed before the work could com
mence, and il was hoped that the amour
would soon be raised, and FIVE miles OF th
road completed 10y the first Of September.
Atthe close Of the Judges remarks th
Books were presented, and .IacO hundrs'
and tteo shares, at hundred dollars shale
were taken, This certainly locke like do
ing something. We trust that those who di
not attend the msetihg, will loose no lin
