SOUTHERN P4cIFYo RAILROAD.

The Louisville Courier to with the full
port of DR. Towlkes, the president of the Southern Pa
cc railroad laid before the meeting of the stockholders
in progress in that city The president shows that
the road, it stands is worth 81 900 900. OF the
Indebtedness Of the company he says
Toui entire debt, as have stated does not exceed
$500 600. believe the fifty cent loan proposed il gen
orally carried out may realize whereby this ne-
date debt may be extngushed If the OF S20o, 900
be raised by this company extricate your means
tied up will complete the payment required. If,
in your Judgment doubt remains, it is sincerely trust
ed your interest your energy, and your united wisdom
will plan out and mature immediate If this
amount be raised and your property extricated from all
embarrassment the State loan granted you upon the LIST
and I'd sections of twenty miles each will it is be-
eyed accomplish the completion of the next section Of
twenty-five miles of your road giving the company fifty
miles of road and 572 900 acres of land
The President recommends the immediate construction
of fifty miles Of road, the 1927 600
debt provided for for which the muncence of Texas
will afford sufficient means that the property of the
company other than that granted by Texas be sold and
appropriated to existing necessities the reduction of the
stock to grade equivalent to the actual value of the
tate of the company, be the same real PERSONAL mix
ed, upon the completion of fifty miles of the road
In regard to the future course Of the company the
president says
aA that remains is for you to commence cner-
getic course on most substantial basis new organi
zttion should be had In electiDg officers would sug-
gcst the selecting of whose character and ability
will prove future guarantee of the of the enter
prise. Your hard work is not yet 1t has scarcely
begun. The future will demand much, if not more,
energy than the past You will be obliged to have gem
temen of discretion the very soil of Texas to guard
your interest at every point
Speaking Of the report the Louisville Courier says
This debt must be paid all is lost to the Stockholders
and the report informs that by raising little
$500 900 the pressing liabilities OF the company will be
met, and property released from present encumbranccs
that will pay the other $500, 900. The question, there.
FORE presented to the stockholders by this report is will
they loan so cents per share to the stock they now
hold? Without they stand up TO this assessment it is
plain that the stock is worthless BY paying the assess
men of so cents per share however and keeping the
future Of the road in the hands of honest competent,
and working men, the enterprise must and will succeed
And ii succeeds the vast amount of stock held in
the Union will be worth sum that will make all rich
who have purchased large amounts at So per share.

DESCRIPTION OF LovE.-Love is like the
devil, because it torments us; like Heaven
because it wraps the soul in bliss; like salt
because it is relishing; like pepper, because
it often sets us on fire +; like sugar, because
it is sweet like rope, because it is often
the death of man; like prison, because it
makes one miserable; like wine, because it
makes us happy; like man, because it is
here to-day and gone tomorrow; like a
woman, because there is no getting rid of
it; Ikea deacon, because it guides one to
the wished for port like will-o'-t -th' -wisp,
because it often leads one into bog like
fierce courser; because it often runs away
with one; like the bite of a made dog, or
the kiss of pretty women; because they
both make man run mad; like goose,
because it is silly; like rabbit, because
there is nothing in it, In word, it is
like ghost, because it is like everything
and like nothing; often talked about, but
never seen, touched or understood.
