We copy below . letter appearing
In thelast Issue Of tho Concordia SON
iinel from Mr.. L. s. Thorne, Vice
President Of the Texas and Pacific
Railway, In answer to petition from
the citizens Of that town addressed to
him, asking him to change the line Of
the Port Allen extension of tho Texss
and Paciic 80 as to pass through
Vidalia instead OF Conoordia station, a
station about ten miles west OF VidaIia
on the Northwestern road. MIR.
Ihorne's reply to the petition Of
the citizens, says.
1Genilemen:---I beg to acknowledges
receipt Of your very courteous COM
Tnunicatiou referring to the location
of ths Port Allen extension of the Tex
~ and Pacific Railway through Con-
cordis parish. Our engineering party
has just returned TO The mouth OF Red
river TO take up the permanent. loca.
tiou north. and the question OF con-
neotion with or crossing OF the New
Orleans and Northwestern, has not
yet been definitely decided mon.
From such Information as we haye. /
do not think our line would intereect
the Northwestern as far west as Con.
cordis. Tam inclined now to think
that If the line is not located into
Vidalia, the connection with the
Northwestern viii not be more than
four or five miles west of Vidalia. |
am under the impression, on account
Of the New Orleans and Northwestern
being one of the Gould family OF
roads there viii be no trouble in our
using that line Ia and ont Of Vidalis
II we couuect With or cross the line
west OF Vidslis. But, as stated above,
permanent location has not yet been
made, also the location from vidalia
to Arkansas City has not been decided
upon. This is matter that win finally
be passed upon by Mr.. Gonld himself.
/ am inclined to think now that Mr..
Gould will decide to build two lines
between vidalia sud Arkansas City
one through or direc. line and one
loop line, along the river front. Your
communication, and the facts brought
ont by the Same. will be duly consid-
erred 0nr motive will be TO 80 locate
the line as will best serve the interests
Of the company aud iis PATRONS We
are always anxious to secure al the
information possible that will assist MS
ia deeiding upon what Is best for all,
and again thank YOU for your conr-
teons communication.1

seventyiive sheep will yield about
as many pounds of wool as an acre
of land will of cotton. The wool
brings about twice as much per

taken off as was before, and is
ready TO produce another crop, re-
