A New Paper in Grant.

We learn that Mr.. E. A. Mathis
will be in Colfax to-day for the
purpose of hauling the press, type
and other material of the Peoples
Demands, to Pollock, and that he
is to run newspaper under the
title of the Pollock News at that
place. Mr.. Mathis is an old hand
at the business, and we feel sure
will succeed in the future as he
has in the past, as he has both in
dustry and experience, two~potent
elements for success.
Mr.. j. E. Dunn, editor of the
Demands, informs us that he will
continue to publish the Demands
at Colfax, and that for this purpose
he will either secure the plant of
the Reformer at Alexandria, or that
he will purchase an entirely new
outfit.

The Road Will be Built.

Gen. Thos. T. Taylor, general
counsellor for the Kansas City,
Watkins and Gulf Railway was in
Alexandria last Saturday, and
while there gave out some very IN
teresting news relative to building
the extensions of that road. He
said that his company would soon
building the two en-
tensions of their road from Alex
andria, one to Natchez, Miss, and
the other to Shreveport. The road
to Natchez will certainly be COM
pleted by Dec. l, 1897, and he
thought the one to Shreveport
would be completed by the same
time. He was certain the road
would be completed through Grant
parish by Oct. 81, 1897, and through
Red River parish by the end of
the year. Congress having given
the company the right to build a
bridge across Red river at Alexan-
dria, he said work would be COM
menced on that structure in sixty
or ninety days at farthest.

pose, came off according to pro-

to press we have received none of
the particulars. Grover Cleve-
