Capt. I. N. Conner is spending most
of his time just now at Delta where he
is having the brick work done on the
round house there. He tells US that
Delta is only the shadow of its former
self as a business point. How the
whirligig of time toys with human
expectations. Thirty years ago, or
when the old town of DeSoto was
mapped out, its founders confidently
expected that it would become ere this
the second city in this State. The site
is now but an island in the river, and
its successor, Delta, does not rank
above way station on the railroad
which was to have made of DeSoto a
great city.
