character, virtues, courage and heroism
of the gentlewomen of the South, who
have never yet faltered or failed in the
performance of any duty, either in war
or in peace, imposed upon them for the
Southern cause.
Their spirit and determination ami

The Catahonla News speaks ouI
sentiments exactly when it says that
.'for two campaigns we have fol-
lowed and supported the Hon. w. j.
Bryan as the leader and the nominee
OF the Democratic party, but his re-
cent action in urging the voters of
st. Louis to knife the Democratic
nominee and vote for .. Republican,
is something that we cannot endorse,
and it is so contrary to our views as
towhat constitutes a Democrat, that
we are ready to say and believe the
party will refuse to consider MIR.
Bryan. or any one else who follows a
course like that. Loyalty to the
party and its nominees is the only
standard, take it all in all, by which
you can measure the Democracy OF
any man."

TEXAS AND PACIFIC SUR
VEYiNG PARTY.

Below we publish an article from
the Concordia Sentinel, in which it
says that the engineers Of the Texas
& Pacific Railway have their en-
eineers in the field, and no doubt will
come on up the river as fast as posi-
BILE, which is gratifying piece of
news. 1t is almost authoritatively
said that Mr.. Gould will build this
road, and will not delay in doing it.
1t looks like it, from the fact that the
road-bed is about completed from
New Roads to Red River, and that
the building of the bridge across this
stream has been started. Another
thing that causes us to believe that
this road will be built without DELAY
is that the Gould's own both ends OF
the road-at Vidalia and at Arkansas
City-and with the gap built be.
tween these two places, it will short.
an the distance over one hundred
miles beween New Orleans and ST.
Louis, and which will give them 8
through line on this side of the river.
The Sentinel says:
A surveying party OF some ten
people is camped at Concordia.
This party has instructions to rur
a survey from point on the New
Orleans and North Western at Con-
cordia to Helena, Ark, as rapidly
as possible. The line will keep to
the right of the chain of lakes lying
just back of the river front. This
will make the line miss St. Joseph by
about three miles. From all ac-
counts it is quite evident that after
all the surveys are definitely located
that work will begin on the construc-
ton of this exteption at several pla-
ces, so that it can be completed as
rapidly as possible. Work will no
doubt be started at Helena, coming
south, and at Concordia. north and
at either Concordia or Vidalia to the
south. Work is now being pushed
on the extension north from New
Rhodes. AS to whether the North
Western will be tapped at Vidalia or
crossed at Concordia by the Texas
and Pacific is point to be finally
determined by an actual survey.
One of the engineers is authority for
the statement that without having
actually run line he was of the
opinion that the line would require
too much work to come up the
swamp and connect at Concordia,
but he said that can only be settled
by actual survey. AS to whether the
line will enter Nidalia or cross the
North Western at Concordia is of
vital interest to Vidalia. We can
only hope that the route to Concor-
dia from the south will be found inn
practicable and that the connection
will be made at Vidalia.
Concordia, mentioned in the above
article, is station nine miles west of
the town of Vidalia, on the North
Western road, and it would be too
bad il the north and south road
would pass that distance from the
iourishing town of Vidalia.
