our RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

Il M0ntOe's prospects FOL North ana
South railroad were never brighter
than at present. With three roads
projected we will surely get one in the
near future. We have encouraging re-
ports from Gen. R!ce's company and
agents Of the Houston, Central Arkan-
sas and Northern railroad are in the
field working like beavers. No sane
man believes that both Of these roads
will be built, paralleiiDg one another
% they ito, but 1t is now race between
them as to which can occupy the field
first. The activity of the one spurs the
other ON and the fruition Of our long
delayed hopes appears near at hand. I
Gen. lRice's road has already many
valuable franchises aud we ARG told
that actual work IL now 10 be begun
| within a very short space OF time aud
that track laying will be completed
from Natchtz to Monroe by the first
day of next December. GA the other
hand, the Houston, Central Arkansas
aud Northern are asking similar fran
chises and in consideration thereof pro-
pose to put up SIC, 900 forfeit 10 begin
work within 80 days after the conces-
sions asked are made. That the fran
chises will be given we have no doubt,
as their agent reports that our people
are in thorough sympathy with the
enterprise.
But Notwithstanding these bright
prospect. we must not lose our Interest
and en-, husias,n. On the contrary, there
is every reason why we should fedoublt
our efforts and push matters tua speedy
consumatioG. There is at present tive
lines of railway-one Oh the east ant
!. one on the west Of us-projectsd ADJ
they will undoubtedly be bull. 1
they are completed b. fore either Gen
: R!ce's or the H., G. A. & N. we enter
tain reasonable fears that we will no
get railroad in many years. TIL
road on the east Of US, the Missouri
Arkansas and Louisiana, has bee
granted valuable franchises by the Ten

II projectors are pushing matters. 1t
y therefore clearly to be seen that "

When the reads east and west Of I

LOOKING FOR HOMES
People Settling In Maryland and the
YlrglniAs.


Mr.. NJ. V. Richards. the land and inn
migrant agent of the Baltimore 4 Ohio
railroad, has Just returned from West
Virginia aud Virginia, where he had
gone with a party TO various points ON
the ID. & o. system prospecting Cor loca-
tons. The Iarty consisted of farmers,
bakers, manufacturers and Others, from
New Jersey, New York, Delaware and
Pennsylvania, and-i Is not altogether
improbable that some o fthem will locate.
Mr.. Richards accompanied q party of
forty-five persons into the Shenandoah
Valley, Virginia and West Virginia from
the North. They returned home well
pleased with that section. Several of
them selected locat tons aud will soon be-
come citizens of that part of the South.
The rich soil convenient markets, water
power, excellent climate aud abundance
of timber and coal ore being appreciated,
and the efforts being made by the Balr-
moro & Ohio Railroad Company cannot
help but bring good returns To that line;
the introduction of northern capital and
increased settlements will add greatly to
this section OF the United States. Tho
inquiries for information IN relation TO
the country and towns along the u. X o.,
are very numerous and come from all
sections. A large German colony in
Pennsylvania is in correspondence with
the bureau, aud expect To locate ON the
line of the b. so, in West Virginia.
Every person from the North that comes
into Maryland, Vigipia and West Vir-
gina expresses himself pleased with the
most cordial reception rendered him by
people. One agent of the company, now
in Mines ota, writes encouragingly,
saying that several families are getting
ready to come TO West Virginia soon I;
that as soon as the people in Minnesota
learned he was in their state he was in-
vited to meet a compsnY of people at a
residence and tell them about West Vir-
ginia. This shows the interest people
are beginning to manifest in this part of
the South.
