RUMBLINGS.

V. Frank is business young man and will
no doubt make the road a valuable employee.
1.-The people Of the state,' says the Carroll
County News, fare lately taking great deal
OF interest in railroads. This promises well
Railroads add to the commercial vitality of the
state or community probably more than any
other enterprise could.
In an editorial urging the completion OF the
Mobile, jackson and Kansas City railroad, the
Hattiesburg Citizen says: 'srhe belt of timber
through which this road will pass is the finest
In the South. The road is certainty, and,
Just as 1t stands now, is the best grab in sight
for the Gulf and Ship Island Company. This
company could have line through from Mo-
bile to jackson by building a few more miles
OF road out from either Laurel or Hattiesburg,
and connect with the part Of the Mobile Jack
son and Kansas City already built. This seems
to be an opening that the vigilant and ever
alert directors of the Gulf and Ship Island will
not letpass. II they do purchase this road,
where will 1t be connected with the present
Gulf and Ship IslandY Evidently here or at
Laurel. Hattiesburg needs the outlet that the
proposed road will give. This place must be-
come manufacturing point to survive, and
from this viewit needs all available railroad
facilities. From a point of distance the Gulf
and Ship Island would have to build line, the
odds are in favor Of Laurel as q connecting
point, and If we get the road, in case it passes
into the Gulf and Ship Island hands, it will be
by offering considerable inducement. But
Hattiesburg can do this If she will, and it is
to be hoped that some efforts to that end will
be made"
