Rail ROAD RIppies,

Coleman is waking up over her railroad
prospects. Monday, the goth, rousing
meeting was held by her citizens with the
object Of securing an eX unsion of the
San Antonio and Arkansas bass railroad
through Coleman, th,nce northward
through Baird, Albany, Throckmorton,
Seymour and Vernon to Doans' store on
Red river, thus followiu the old cattle.
trail route. That a ,ilroad will be
built over this route at some time is an
undisputed fact, and II might
be we'll for Albany to take some
active steps in encouraging Coleman in
the good work she has begun and assur-
ing her OF Albany's hearty co-opera don in
the scheme. Our railroad committee
should correspond with the Coleman
committee at once. "Delays are danger
ous," and as the ''clty OF much wind,n
Abilene, Is working for this same road.
though without a shadow of chance OF
securing it, 1t may stand us in hand TO
make some effort and not rely altogether
on our natural advantages and situation.

Arkansas Texas road left Sherman this
morning for Sulphur Springs, where they
go to select depot grounds The grounc
for depots, round-houses and shops at
Sherman have not yet been definitely
settled on, but 1t is known that the Of
fcials above named are content with any
one of several locations visited, but the
choice Is likely to fall on a site which
affords the best outlet to Fort
Worth, the ultimate objective point of
the st. Louis, Arkansas & Texas.
The line from Sherman to Fort Worth
via Grapevine would traverse splendid
region of country, and would add greatly
to the Importance of the road through
the splendid connections afforded at the
latter place. In fact, the engineers since
their arrival here have not alluded to any
other place except Fort Worth when re-
ferring to probable future Extensions, and
the people OF that wide-awake railway
center will do well to keep sharp look
out in this direction, and be ready to
grasp the golden opportunity that is sure
to be presented.
