1t is reported that in a very shor
time Cotton Belt trains will be rur
direct into ST. Louis over the IroI
Mountain track, both freight and pas
senger, using the Belmont branch
through this city; it is also reported
that the Iron Mountain will run nearly
all of their main line trains down this
way and use the Cotton Belt tracks for
their fast freight and passenger traffic
into Texas. Both roads are now prac.
tically under q management and ii
is claimed hat by using the Belmont
track to Delta and then the Cotton Belt
track into Texas, much of the trouble
that the Iron Mountain now expert
ences by heavy grades on the main
line will be done away with. This is
merely a rumor that comes from Maid
en-. but is said to be reliable. The
first news of the new Cotton Belt train
through here came to the Democrat
NeUs from Maiden and it was laughed
at first. 1t is said the change will be
made the first of the year.-Fredertck-
