Mr.. Bond is probably the youngest man in
America who has SO largo railroad inter-
est under his management, and he has not
gained his high position thronh favoritism
but by indomitable pluck and energy, he
having started at the bottom round in rail-
reading and worked himself up by thor
oughly mastering all the details of his pro-
fession. Mr.. Bond stated that he did not
anticipate any further trouble with the
Governor o! Mississippi, growing out of
the @. & C.'s action in regard to the great
prize fight. He thought that the matter
would be dropped as the excitement died
out. Speaking of the future OF this Sec
ton ho expressed himself as highly pleased
with the prospects and predicted a big
business as soon as tho present crop began
to move. We trust that Mr.. Bond will
take occasion in passing to stop over with
us for several days at an carly dato and
becemo better acquainted with our people.
Such a visit, VIC. feel sure, would prove
| beneficial both to the great interests repre-
! scented by Mr.. Bond and our city. We
