The Vicksbnrg Herald of Tuesday

project organized in Chicago last wees.
and we give the article below. The
Herald says that there will be as 1.-THE
delay as possible in building the road
which we hope will be done. If moth.
ing else, il may be the cause of the
Gould syndicate rushing their pro.
Jected road to completion, which looks
the most feasible. The Herald saws.
Mr. Howard Cole of this city. who is
manager of the Howard Cole Realt,.
Company. has for about a wear past
while working up his land interests and
deals. been quietly maturing his plans
for the builing of river line of road
from Fidalia TO Lake Providence. He
has long seen the feasibility of such
project and has talked the matter M
with his northern. and western visitors
and clients.

Hanna-McKinley for four years
longer. Let us hope that there will
be change in 1904, and between
now and then that the Democratic
party will see that TO win they will
have to come together. With the
open robberies going on in Cuba,
the horrible Encouragement of the
war in the Philippines, and such a
high handed steal as the ship subsidy
bill Mark Hanna tried to fasten on
the people, that would benefit a
few already rich men by many mil
lions of dollars, it ought TO be a
bright chance for the Democrats to
be successful. But to be success
full, or to hope for victory, it looks
like the party will have to place
some of its present leaders in the
back ground.
