Railroad to ClarktOn.

Hon. Louis Houck and the %superin-
tendent of his Dunklin and Pemiscot
county roads, y. II. Ponder, were at
Clarkton, last Saturday. to confer
with citizens who are anxious to have
IA railroad built from Gibson, on the
St. L.. X. " 5. to an intersection with
the Morehouse and Pascola road. now
in course of construction, a distance
OF about twelve miles.
Besides all the prominent people of
Freedom township who are interested.
there was present representatives of
y. J. Mathews. of Sikeston, a large
owner of East Swamp Lands. and Of
Anderson X Gideon. the mill men who
are arranging to put IN extensive
Woodworking plant in tn timber east
of Clarkton.
Mr.. HoucH asked that a bonus uf
IS. 900 in cash he raised and deposited
in the bank of kennett ny yesterday.
September 18Th This Was done.
To-day. AIr. Ponder viii start from
Gibson and make the survey Tor the
line to ii point four miles east OF
Ciarkton using the old pole road as
far As possible.
This looks very much like Clarkton
will soon be a railroad town: and
those who know of its location, the
center OF IA rich farming region, west,
north and south. and its proximity to
the heavy timber on the east, will
correctly concluded that it will be a
good town.
There are many substantial dwell
ings and conmodious business houses
there now. used in the days when
Clarkton Il the metropolis of Dunk
lin county. There are church build
ings, a t~rst-claSs school house, a
cotton yin and grist mill already
there. and SO these things will not
have to be built. The town will start
right of ready-made.
After SO long a time. all hail to

his struggle had been witnessed, and
was dumb as to what had seen.
A week later Troop G was sent out
on a scout and rode into tight place.
1t was reported that all of us did our
duty in the half hours hot fighting, but
there was only one hero. Even with
the pistols flashing and the sabers
whirling 1 watched Private Haskins as
he waved his saber on high and thun-
dered into the thick of the melee. He
fought to kill and be killed, but death
passed him by. -
We whispered to each other that he
was a hero, deserving of medal Of
gold, and we esteemed and exalted
him, but the circle did not open to let
him in. He was not of us-he had not
been for year-and no act of his in
battle could make him so. He knew it
as we'll as we did, and he made no ad-
vance. He had our respect and admi-
ration in the fullest, but he did not
have and did not wish for our com
radeship and sympathy. We knew that
there are things which must lie buried
in the human bosom forever and ever,
no matter what the cost, but yet we re-
scented it when our sympathy was re-
fused.
1t was two weeks after our fight

with Private Haskins. We were to
take the post together. In the winter
camp behind us there was the hum of
preparation for the spring campaign.
In the quarters of the enemy, a dozen
miles away, there was the same excite
ment. We rode to post on the high
way and dismounted under a tree.
remember that the sun shone warm,
the buds were starting, and here and
there a robin was raising his glad song.
