Railroad Meeting.

In another column will be found the pro.
eeedings OF the Railroad meeting, held at FL
smith on the 4th inst. Owing to the early
dav Of our publication, and press OF other
matter. we must beg our readers to pardon
us for our brief review of these proceedings.
At another time we will have more to say
The Importance of this movement to western
Arkansas cannot easily be underrated. We
have for many years been anxiously awaiting
the completion OF the Little Rock & Fort
Smith to this place, and are still waiting
Upon the completion Of the Cairo Fulton
Road to Little Rock, we fondly hoped our pet
road would be rushed through. IL has been
finished to Clarksvllle 60 miles distant; and Il
wagon transportation line has been organized,
which simply means long delay at that
point. The road Is graded from here almost
entire TO Clarksyile, and ties are and hayc for
year or two been lying along the road bed
In this condition of things we see no hope OF
an outlet south, ut any early day And now
comes an invitation from the north of uN 10
aid iu buildlDg a road from Fort Smith
through Van Burcn, Fayetteville, Benton
Vile Pneyllle on TO Springfield. This comes
from the t. Louis and Mexican Gulf Railroad
Company The result OF the deliberations OF
the delegates from the Border Counties on tie
4th, was to look to this company as means
ofsecuring to us an outlet TO st. Louis. While
We DO not tie ourselves to the 81, L. & u. c.,
II. Y, we vet cannot but feel that we have
reason to hope for good results from com
b,na;ion with IT, No other proposition was
offered the convention except from this road.
In lengthy communication from Mr.. II, C..
Ioupc one Of its directors. II we had this
road tl.,n we would have competing road
with the l.. Il. & L, s. Road and c. q I. road.
The proposition to join III with the Jefferson
City road would give us no competing road
as that rJtd is in the interest Of Chicago and
not St Louis.
Our space is consumed and we must post
pone flirthcr remarks 10 another time.
