DODDRIDGE.
A Rising Railroad City in
Sulphur Township.

The Texarkana & Shreveport
Railway is now running to Dod-
bridge, in Sulphur township, 2S
miles south of Texarkana.
Already a depot has been con-
structed, and the town surveyed of
into business and residence lots and
there is not a particle of doubt as
to it becoming a commercial place
Of considerable Importance. Sui
phur township raises from six to
eight thousand bales of cotton, we
are told, and nearly all of it will be
marketed at this new railroad town.
This, together with other products
of the soil, fine timber lands, etc,
will insure it's making a live town.
For some time to come Doddridge
will be the southern terminus of the
Texarkana & Shreveport railroad.
Town is well located, on a high,
sandy plateau, four miles east of
Bright Star and three miles west Of
Spring Bank; Kelly bayou, Lnear by,
will receive the drainage and ofal
of the place,
Work of opening out the streets
will begin at once. Opposite the
depot is "Fouke Place" a wide plat
of ground, upon which will front
the business houses, to be built at
first; then there are the following
avenues, running east and west:
Collins, Slay, Bryant, and others.
Several merchants are arranging
to locate there right away, and ere
another two weeks elapse, a half
dozen or more new store houses will
be in course Of construction. One
or more saw mills are expected to
start up soon.
1t is estimated that not less than
1900 bales of cotton will be brought
to the new town this fall
Now is the time to get in on the
"ground floor" as lots are going
cheap The first stores will reap a
rich harvest,

Gen, Schofeld, the Commander
in-Chief of the Army, will go on the
retired list in November. Certain
friends of his are actively engaged
in recommending his nomination for
president by the democratic party.
In spite OF the Generals somewhat
emphatic denial that he was in any
sense a candidate for presidential
honors, or would he accept the
nomination, the agitation continues
and it is only fair to presume that
his friends are not acting entirely
in the dark. They are confident
that the general could be induced
to accept the nomination. But
Gen, Schofeld is not politician.
He says himself that although
a democrat in principle and senti-
ment, he has never voted the Dem
ocratic ticket, and that to his recol-
lection he has never voted any
ticket in his life.
