and the travelling public generally
along the line Of this road, from
New Orleans to Meridian, seem co
be very much dissatisfied with the
schedule change and the non stop
p"ge of some of the trains at i'm,
portant points We have heard
several drummers remark that
many of their fraternity would
cease travelling this route if the
present schedule is continued. or
course the railroad management
understand their business better
than outsiders possibly can, but it
is the general impression that some
more satisfactory schedule could
be arranged thin the one now IN
force. Through travel may be
more profitable to the company
than local patronage; but it does
seem hard that that benefit should
be secured at the expense and dis
comfort of the minority of the
patrons Of the road, We feel as
sured that the @ & q. managers
will give respectful attention to
any complaints that may be placed
before them IN the proper spirit.

Nightly practice for the coming
entertainment has been the source
of no little social enjoyment and
fun to the fair participants and
their attentive gallants. We hope
that the revival Of onr social gather
ings will not prove simply spasmod-
ic. The young people of Poplar
vile possess excellent talent in
waited lines, and some permanent
organization for mutual mental ben
eft and social enjoyment should be
effected. A thespian society and
glee club might prove the nucleus
of some very ueeful d important
organization. Form a club, rent
the hall, arrange the stage and
scenery, purchase piano, start a
library, and contributions and re-
suits Of entertainments will soon
pay the bills Now, who will form
