Cali for General Railroad Convention,
nj Monroe. October II. 1871.

The undersigned members of the,
Committee ON Business and Resolutions
appointed by the Mass Meeting held in
Monroe on the 18th, taking into con-
Sidcration the deep interest felt through
out Eortl. Louisiana in the construc-
ton of Railroads and the great ncccssi-
ty existing for such communication,
have thought it would meet with gen.
tral approval to call u RAILROAD
CONVENTION to he held in Monroe
on the nth Of October next. The par
ishes OF Caddo, Bossier, Webster, Union,
claiborne, Bicnvillc, Winn, Caldwell,
EatahOula, Franklin. Richland, More
house and Jackson: the counties Of
Drew and Ashley in Arkansas, and the
,.itv of V icksburg, all having an inter-
est in the building Of the roads now
projected, or in process of construction,
lutiVcs to the Convention on tho 18th
of October.
The Committee docs not deem it
necessary to urge at length the inlpOr-
lance Of giving direction and purpose
10 the desire felt by all classes of our
citizens for the speedy construction Of
Railroads. Tho elements necessary to
achieve success, in all the railway on
terpriscs now under consideration. arc
believed to he abundant in our own
limits, without soliciting foreign aid.
by concentrating public ,and
by combining tho energies and support
of the various sections of country inter
tstcd in these enterprises, it is not
doubted but that work cam be common
ccd on them all in a very short space of
time.

Of horses say he has splendid points for

the indication of great driving power

are small, clean, and terminate in
