News
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Feb. q.
It is now rumored that the BIZ mingham,
Selma and New Orleans will be extended
across the Tom Bigbee River, but 1t Will
not go to Meridian. as has been supposed.
1t seems that an AIRLINE between the At
lantic .seaco1st and New Orleans Is de-
sired and that the interests back of the
extension of the Birmingham, Selma and
New Orleans prefer Such a course.
With that in view, the road will be ex-
tended across the Tom Bigbee, and will
tap the New Orleans and Northeastern at
Hattiesburg, 100 miles south Of Meridian.
If the Birmingham. Selma and New Or
leans should go to Meridian. after 1t
crosses the Tom B,gbee. 1t would have to
lean to the north and that would make 1t
go that much out of a direct line to reach
New Orleans. The object Of the hackers
Of the new line to New Orleans and the
southwest is to get the shortest and
quickest line. and with that in view. the
new line of the L. and N. via the B..
and N. O., will leave MERRIAM forty or
fifty miles to the north and will push
on in a straight line to Hattiesburs
A man close to the Louisville and NaSh-
Vile system has been interviewed by
your correspondent. and while he will
not authorize the use Of his name, he
virtually admits that the B.. 8. and N.
o. will be extended to Hattiesburg, and
not to Meridian. as has been generally
supposed.
1t is a well-known fact that the Louis
vile and Nashville has gotten possession
of the New Orleans and Northeastern,
and 1t will not injure Meridian very ma
terially for the new line to tap Hatties-
burg, and in order to get a shorter line
to New Orleans it has been deemed advis-
able to tap the New Orleans and North
eastern at Ha1tiesburg instead Of defect
Ing to the north and reaching the ter
minus Of that line at Meridian.
The people of Meridian had hoped that
the B.. s. and N. o. would come direct
to their city and-but fifty or sixty miles
Is a great saving in the hauling of the
cars.

Friend Piersoa Il have passed
through the greatest trial of my life
After sixty-one years of married life,
] have lost my wife. There is a COM
pensation attending my loss that is
indescribable. When | consider the
strength given me at my age to care
for my wife during her extremely
painful sickness, it gives me degree
of pleasure and satisfaction such as /
never before experienced, and when l
think of the attention and solicitude
of the doctor and the kindness and
sympathy of friends in their efforts to
relieve her as far as possible of her
sufferings, I cry with gladness.
1t was a most pleasing reflection
that my wife retained her faculties of
speech and consciousness to almost
the last. She recognized her friends
astonishingly and was greatly pleased
and comforted by their presence and
attention. Never could a person pass
out of this world with greater care
and attention.
She was faithful wife, of domestic
habits a liberal soul, ready to divide
the last loaf with the needy. To her
care and solicitude / attribute my long
life.
She was human she had her faults
and failings, but they are now sunk in
oblivion and buried in the grave, and
now she is to me angelic.
