IooRREsPOSDEECE OF THE APPEAL.
SALEM Miss, April A brief anti.
Gle in the daily APPEAL of recent date
in regard to the extension of the Kan
sss CITY railroad from Memphis to
Birmingham, has aroused considera.
bic interest in our community. Should
the road he built it is contemplated
that it vii pass Though our immedi-
ste section, ss we are uron direct
lire OF the proposed route.
Memphis is our natural outlet snd
usual market, but The want OF close
connection at Grsnd Junction has
been source OF annoyance 10 our
people. And then the discrimination
against Memphis ireiehts by the
Illinois Central railroad ia an impcsi-
ton from which we have had no
appeal, and is well worthy the atten-
ton OF our new Railroad Commission
and we commend the same to their
serious coDside. alton. We have al
ready located the road and named the
stations. The engineers will have
simply "walk over"-little to do ex-
cept to drive and mark the stakes and
10 perfect arrangements for the right
of way. Almost every man, woman
snd child is ready to tlke a contract
for the construction Of the road, and
preparations are being made for wat r
melons and truck patches to fupply
the Memphis market. Seriously
speaking, our people are quite hope
ful Of the building Of the road in the
near future, as it will be a great con-
venience to trade and travel from our
section.
Toe month Ct March went out with
a whhl d a snow storm, while we
celebrated q regular old fa,hioned
wedding, regardless of wind or
weather. The contracting par lie
were the Hon. VIM A. Mcdonald,
Representative in the Ii gislature from
Benton county, and Miss Sail e J.
Hamer, a cultivate add esiimable

Mr.. I. Hamer, a lesding planter aud

MERIDIAN, MISS, April 5.-One of
the immediate results Of the State law
imposing ajax Of $25per capita on com
mercial travellers has been TO visibly
diminish the patronage OF the hotels
throughout the country. Three or
fur days sgo party of fifteen mer-
camille tourists were gathered at the st.
Charles Hotel, whenihe sheriff walked
in and stated that he had come to col
lect the town tx of S12 so each. This
announcement was received with dis
gust and Indignation by the dunn
mers, who refused to pay the tax, and
severally lett the town. 1t was re-
ported at Grand Junction, Tenn. Com
mercials hearing OF Inc license passed
through the State without trying to
sell goods. At Como, Miss, the repre-
sentative of a large chr aware and
porcelain house stated that he would
not sell any more goods in Mississippi,
and after mskiug bis collections there
and in neiphboriDgtowps left the State.
The hotel keepers are indignant, and
as they largely depend on the drum
mers. they keenly feel the effect Ct
this "penny-wise" indiscreet legisla.
