Up to the first of March this season, the road has received and transported 5, I55 bales of cotton from along the line, 29,000 bales of which were transferred to the Iron Mountain Road, the balance to Memphis and New Orleans. This company run their own express and telegraph line, The country along the line is rapidly improving and settling mp with good class of citizens. We were informed by Col. W. D. Slack, the aifable and genial Land Commis- sioner of the company, that during 1878, he sold iS,00O acres to new and actual settlers, and now as spring approaches, business in the iand de- partment is increasing and many me-seekers are daily prospecting along the line. The company yet own and offer for sale at low figures and on reasonable terms S00,000 acres located on both sides of the Arkansas river, larger portion of which can not be excelled for fertil- ity and!productive capacity. Parties desiring reliable information as to the lands of the company, should address w. D.
