WE WANT THAT RAILROAD

Mr.. Beardsley representing the
North and South Railroad which has
reached Natchitoches and the line
surveyed to Crowley, is now look
ing for an outlet from Crowley to
New Orleans. 1t seems to us that
the most feasible route is through
Abbevllle.
OF course this road will not run
over us while we are sleep; there
fore let us be up and doing. Let
us invite Mr.. Beardsley to come to
Abbeville thus giving us a chance
to make a bid for this North and
South Road. If we succeed in
securing this road, it will give us
competition to New Orleans, and
direct communication with North
ern and Southern cities.
This road, if secured by Able.
vile will give us factories and new
enterprise of various descriptions,
which means more money and more
prosperity for our section.
The motion is made-who will
second it7-HeraM.

At Indianola, Mississippi, Pres

had for eight years previous held
that important position. The Pres

vacant aud the department ordered
