flying and strengthening tonic.

Mr.. Poindexter Dunn, representing
the Edsnborn railroad, was in Colfax
on Wednesday and Thursday last,
looking over the field and trying to
find out what inducements this coun-
try has to offer for that road to build
through this region. This road is
already completed and has trains rum
ming for about sixty miles along the
east side of Red river, and the ques-
ton Mr.. Edenborn is now debating is
as to an objective point to build to
in order to perfect system that will
prove both permanent and remuner-
ative. He has lately Investigated the
possibilities of an extension Of bis
road to Alexandria, by way OF Mont
gomery and Colfax, and is said to be
fayorably impressed with the condi-
tions. provided he can obtain snfic-
lent concessions to meet some Of the
difficulties and expenses.
Mr.. Dunn informed us that be OK
pected to make Alexandria his head-
quarters for a while; and, from his In
timations, We gather that the action
Of Alexandria, in extending aid and
encouragement to the enterpsias, will
inlarge measure influence the final re-
suit as to whether this road viii be
built through this section. So far as
Grant parish is concerned, the Eden
born people prefer not to risk the
chances in accepting the unearned tax
voted to the Waltz people, but win
ask that wards 1, 6 and Z vote them
tar directly, as there is some doubt
about the legality of transferring the
Waltz tax to them. This we believe
these wards will readily do, e. they
fully appreciate the necessity Of a rail-
road in order to enable them to aban-
don the cotton crop and take up the
more remunerative business of truck
farming, besides the hundreds Of 9TH
er advantages railroad will bring.
We especially hope the Alexandria
and Pineville people win take an act
i've and substantial interest in thia
road, as We believe their support w
