The Great north and South Railrsad.

Good work has been done throughout
the parish the past week In the interest
Of the North and South Railroad. The
great enterprise isgaining triends every
day and our people are being awakened
Ia: the necessities of the hour. We
have . great interest at stake and we
can't afford TO lose.
It is the chance OF q life-time. Work
10 get the election called and then work
TO carry the tax.
twill not be the heavy burden some
would have you believe.
You won't have the tax to pay until
the railroad is built and the cars rum
ming over II through the parish.
And when you are called upon 10
psy ven will be In a better condition
TO pay.
For the reason the railroad will have
then enhanced the value OF your prop
|crsy;
There viii DO more property to
assess
And there will be more preople TO
pay the taxes.
Consequently yonr prorata will be
less.
The proposition is plain and II is
practically illustrated by eveydeveloped
State In the Union.
Take the State In the Union with
the most railroads and Its people pay
less taxes than those Of any other
State.
Again, your savlngs on ffeights the
first year after the railroad 70 built will
more than pay you back your five
mill tax.
This country needs developing and
railroads are the great developers Of
the age.
We need more people and more
money and more school houses and
more churches.
These we firmly believe the great
North and South railroad will bring.
BY all means favor the railroad and
| put yourself on the side Of progress
and development.

The Railroad Bridge !.

Our people having become somewhat
impatient at the hardness of the officials
Of the ". 8. q p. railroad in the matter of
opening the bridge here to public traffic
held q meeting Friday and instructed the
Manager Gault and ascertain the exactdate
when the bridge would be opened. Mr..
Gault replied as follows:
CINCINNATI, Oct 20. 1856
J. III. Simon, Secretary
Expect to have wagon way across Ouacil-
ita river not later than the first of Decem-
Der, possibly sooner. Will depend on
length of time required to get material
'' tsisned &c. aAg11
Gen'l, Manager.
1t is our opinion that the railroad is maxi
ing haste in this matter very slowly. The
City Of Monroe, to increase her trade, has
paid highly to procure the opening of the
bridge to general traffic, and should not be
monkeyed with by the railroad any longer.
Mr.. Gault's telegram is very indefinite. 1t
may take till Christmas 'sto get the neces-
sary material ready"
We ask that the work be commenced and
pushed through. Our trade suffers every
day the work is delayed.
