IL is we'll knOwA list 'hs route of he
road has slFeAly been indicated hy enact
msni Of HE Legislature, That rsuis lay
through Limestone NaVsrTa, Ellis, Dallas
Collin anl Grays,n counties 10 or in the
Vieihiiy u Preston on He'd River, This
route We believe TO be The natural, most
practicable, sPd best pay log route the road
could pursue, II il true, The seiion Of the
Convention, last summer II such se,lon is
ratified aud made legal, gives the company
The rishI TO locate the road on any Isuie
which many he found desirable, thereby
doing away With the route laid tOwn by
the Legislature, This action, the company
seemed TO desire in order 10 give them the
right 10 change the route, provided they
found il necessary, But We 10 not At all
feel inclined 10 change our opinion, not.
wilhslanding all these things,
We have thought great deal about this
matter, aud Il las ever been our eonyleiian
that the best thing the company could 10
would be 10 strike through the centre Of tie
wheat county, Here is, aud is to be the
richest aud nost populous section Of tho
State IN The future, anl not long In the
future either and here II il that the road
should come, IL they consult the future
prohtablrness Of tie road. Dallas county
aud the town Of Dallas, is in the very heart
Of this favored region, and Dallas will be
the great inland market for all the sur
rounding country. This is our candid,
unbiased conviction, laying aside all per.
sonal interest in The matter, and VIC are
very sure that when the engineers come
along prospecting aud 10 locate the road |
that here will be one Of the points on the
road. Railroad companies are not in the |
habit of'shutiing their eyes TO their own .
interest, as is every day asserted OF the .
central company, and we think when dirt |
is broken for the extension of the rond to .
Red River, il will point directly to Dallas !
as one of the points to be made, us being n
place of sufficient Importance 10 command
the attention of the company.
And while on this subject Of the Central !
Railroad, we wish to dsabuse the minds of .
those most intimately connected with the
road us to the disposition of the thinking,
reading men Of this region. 1t is COM
mon opinion, we know, among some, for
they have told us so, that Dallas has always
waied against this company, and seemed to
DO striving TO throw obstacles in the way
IF the progress of tae road. Such is not
The fact. Dallas and her people are as
eagerly alive to the advantages and i'm.
nense profit which the building of the road
would be to them, as any people could be.
They want the road are disposed to further
ls progress, with all the energy, pcrsever.
'nce and means in their power, and we
should guess that the company will not find
Is SO far inimical to our own interest, as
on second any overturcs they might make
% us Us people to assist in the extension
If the road We wish we could have the
worthy President and Directors of the COM
'any in our midst for few days, and in
reduce them to orr people and show them
he magnificent domain which is seeking
IN outlet for its productions through the
means Of their road. We think we could
convince them of thing or two.
