ton and party. The route from Tai
lulah north TO Lake Providence has

pie along the line are very warmly in

Vicksburg Herald, 10Th.
The above information given to the
Herald is long ways from being cor
rect, as far as this parish is concerned.
We doubt if there is land owner in
the parish, which this road would have
to pass through, has any faith in this
Cole project; the right of way aud
concessions would be refused, and the
Only way that be can get them is to
start his road at Tallulsh and when
be reaches persons plantation be will
then be given the right of way through
it, and when he builds through this
and reaches the next plantation, the
right of way will be given, and so Oh,
until he completes the road. This is
how much faith they have in the road
being built by this company. We be-
lieve as our citizens, that the Gould
syndicate means to build the road, and
as speedily as possible. Three or four
parties of this syndicate
are now in the field, with instructions
TO get through as rapidly as possible,
which means no delay as to the con-
struction of this railroad from Vidalia
TO Helena; and with these facts before
the people, they are not going to be so
foolish as to give rights OF ways or
TO any other company, that
means delay. or perhaps no road.

Governor Longino of Mississippi,

utterances in regard to laying the
corner stone of the State house at
Jackson, when he was asked by the
Daughters of the Confederacy to

of ladies who waited on him: 81

to do with this new State house,
