The completion of the two short lines
of railroads that are now under con-
struction in the state of Mississippi
will open up territory that has not
enjoyed heretofore speedy transporta-
tion and traffic facilities These roads
probably viii be ready for operation by
September !. One of the lines is being
built by the lszoo Delta Railroad Com
pany, and the other is being constructed
by the Illinois Central and Iazoo &
Mississippi Valley road interests.
The work on the former line has been
under way for some time, and it will
open up large portion of the Sum
flower valley country. This is said to
be an exceptionally rich strip Of coun
try and the larger part of it is timber
land. There is a considerable portion,
however. that is open and its product
ivencSs in cotton and corn is rich. The
line is about siSty-five miles long and
runs fron Tutwiler to Lake Dawson.
At the former place it makes a connee-
ton with the Iazoo & Mississippi
Valley, but the other terminus affords
no connections. The other road is that
of the Yazoo x Mississippi Valley, and
ii runs from Phillip to Greenwood.
