After adjournment of the meet
ing a communication was sent to
Mr.. Waltz at Alexandria, inform
ing him of the result, and he inn
mediately replied that a FIVE mill
tax for ten gears would not pay the
taxes of the railroad for that time,
and he would not consider the foe
gear proposition as an inducement
under the circumstances. He in
sists that his company either be
guaranteed immunity from taxa
ton for ten years, and that fifty
substantial citizens sign bond to
that effect, or that the people vote
him five mill tax for ten years.
He estimates that five mill tax
on the three wards will only be
$3.50 year, while his company
will have to pay taxes each year
amounting to about $500, and
says the least he can ask is that
the people expecting to benefit by
the road shall pay one-half of his
taxes for ten years.
Acting upon this information, and
recognizing the great Importance
of the occasion, the citizens of Col
fax Immediately decided to call
another mass meeting for Monday,
May 10th, rs follows:
A CALL.
In view Of the fact that the offer
of the mass meeting on Monday
last, to vote tax of five mills for
FIVE years is altogether unsatisfac-
tory to Mr.. Waltz the President of
the G. l.. & G. N. railway Co., and
is not considered a sufficient in
ducement for him to defect his
road along the west side of Grant
parish, we the undersigned citi-
zens call upon the taxpayers of
wards l, 6 and 7 to assemble at
the court house at ii a. m. Mon
day, May 10, 1897, for the purpose
of finally deciding whether to ac-
cept or reject the offer of the rail-
road to run through this section of

Railroad Mass Meeting.

On last Saturday, Mr.. Jos. y,
Waltz, President of the Gulf, Lou.
isiana and Great Northern Rail-
way company, accompanied by
Mr.. A. L. Atkins, a prominent
merchant of Arcadia, stopped in
Colfax couple of hours, on their
way over the proposed line, pros
pecting and consulting the people
along the route relative to rights
of way and other franchises neces-
sary to its location and final CON-
pletion. While here they request
ed an expression from the people
of the river valley as to what In
ducements would be offered the
railroad company to build its line
along the river, taking in Colfax
and Montgomery, instead of run
ming directly through the center of
the parish, as direct line from
Arcadia to Alexandria would run
without detection. After discus
sing the question it was decided to
call upon the citizens of wards one,
six and seven to assemble in mass
meeting at the court house at 4
o'clock Monday afternoon, to take
some action in the matter.
In answer to invitations sent out
by messengers on Saturday end
Sunday last, about forty represan-
tative citizens Of wards one, six and
seven assembled at the court house
at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon to
discuss the advisability Of offering
the Gulf, Louisiana and Great
Northern Railway an inducement
to build its line of road through
these wards.
Capt. G. H. Teal was requested
to call the meeting to order aid
state its object, which he did in an
interesting talk of about fifteen
and then requested that
H. g. GOODWIN preside as chair
man, and that j. E. Dunn act as
secretary.
This suggestion met with gener-
al approval and was adopted, and,
upon the chairman stating that the
regular business for which the
meeting was called was in order,
and that full and free expression
from all present was desired, ten
or twelve citizens gave utterance
to their views on the subject, all of
them expressing themselves as
heartily approving the offering of
inducements to the railroad to run
through this section, even to vot-
ing a 5 mill tax for this purpose.
The only opposition to a tax was
by Messrs. A. w. and
j. p. Lewis, who favored Offering
all the inducements except tax.
A letter was read from Mr.. B.
H. Phillips, regrettiDg his inability
to be present, and expressing his
hearty approval of any and all
that the citizens might
see fit to adopt i'll offering induce
ments to the road.
The following resolutions offered
by Capt. G. H. Teal and seconded
by DR.. M. A. Dunn and Mr.. Sam
Johnson, were then adopted with
out a dissenting voice:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that the right of way
can be secured, and that We should
vote a 5 mill tax for FIVE years to
the Gulf, Louisiana and Great
Northern Railway company, to be
on the building of the
railroad through wards one, six
and seven of this parish, on line
to run within one-half mile of the
town of Colfax and the town hall
in the town of Montgomery, said
line to be more fully indicated in
q contract to be made with Mr..
Waltz; and q further condition to
be that the road shall be completed
through the parish within eighteen
from the date of voting

FROG AND TOAD JONAHS.
Yarns Accepted Not without Doubt by
Amateur Naturalists.

Most persons when they hear natur-
alist tell about peculiar doings by
birds, animals, or reptiles grin and ask
about big fish. One tale, which no one
but naturalsts seems to believe, was
told in the Fore st and Stream recently
by Allen Chamberlain. He says he
heard cry down in Florida such as a
distressed frog makes and found that
a blacksnake was swallowing frog.
When the frog was out of SIGHT the
snake was shot through the head and
the frog was liberated. At first it was
stupefied, but was soon as lively as ever.
Within 20 years the same paper has
recorded at least score of just such
instances, reported hy as many indi-
viduals, who gave their real names and
addresses. and who declared they had
seen the stupclied toad or frog come TO
as from trance, hop about as if daZed,
and at last go away as lively as ever.
S. d. Kendall, in the Forest and
Stream for June, 1852, told about a
mother quail which in trying to protect
her young got within reach of rattle
snake. The snake was killed in the
act of swallowing the bird. When re-
leased the bird was for some time stu
pefied, but after awhile recovered
enough to stagger Off. On the next
| day she was all right and caring for her
| chicks
