A0REkT RkllRoAD,
Elsewhere In today,s paper appears
a summary of the twenty-ffth annual
report OF the Yazoo &. Mississippi
Valley Railroad Company. While
the report in question deals largely
With the business for the year ending
June 80, 1903, it also embraces facts
and figures showing the growth OF
traa1e, new mileage added, earnings
and expenses from the year 1898,
when the Yazoo q Mississippi Valley
became part Of the Illinoise Central
system. It is in these incidental
statements that the real magnitude
OF the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
Railroad as factor in the
deyc1opement of Memphis and the
great Mississippi valley is presented.
From struggling main line with two
or three branches in 1898, the lines
then operated as the Louisville, New
Orleans & Texas have developed into
strong and stalwart limbs OF one Of
the. greatest railroad systems in the
United States. During the eleven
years OF it's career as part Of the
Illinois Central system the Yazoo g.
Mississippi Valley has added over 200
miles to its mileage, opened up sec
tions OF country rich in resources,
injected new life into 1anguishing
towns, provided better and greater
accommodations for the patrons along
its lines, and in every way improved
it's usefulness as q factor in the de-
velopement OF the country and a
means OF serving the requirements of
the people from whom it draws its
support. This is an epitome of the
growth and accomplishments of the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad
since it's union with the Illinois Cen
trail !. Judged by these results, the
future achievements OF the Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley railroad should
surpass those ut the past eleven years,
and under = management as compe-
tent as that now directing its affairs
the next eleven years Of its operation
doubtless .ill measure up to expecta-
tIaI ,,nn,a 4 .s:.;,s -. i, e. -. -. ~.
The Yazoo Il Mississippi Valley
Railroad has improved in value to the
parent company in spite OF the fact
that its managerial policy has been
and today is broad and liberal, and
hundreds of thousands Of dollars have
beensSpent in betterment and equip
ment. Both in the matter OF pas
Fsenger and freight rates the tendency
Of the management has been to de-
crease the cost to the public as much
as such reductions would conform to
the needs of the rervice rendered.
As factor in developing the COM
merce and industries of Memphis the
Yazoo s. Mississippi Valley Railroad
cannot be over estimated. 1t is the
artery through which the commercial
blcod of this city reaches one OF the
richest agricultural sections in the
world, and as the great Mississippi
delta is developed this growing rail
road with its many active branches
will strengthen Memphis In all these
things that add to a ctty's greatness
/ A gratifying fact in connection
with the condition OF the Yazoo s
p Mississippi Valley railroad is that .
citizen OF Memphis, Maj. NJ. Gilleas
third vice president and genera
superintendent, is the active head o
it's affairs in this section, and it
growth rejects credit upon his splen
did managerial ability.-Memphi

Hurled Into Eternity.

\ very sad tragedy occurred last
Sunday morning at the home of Mr.. +.
D. Hodge in the Fork. Robert Hudnal,
a young man about 10 years of age, eld-
est son of Mr.. W. I. Hudnal spent Sat
urday night with his friends the sons
of Mr.. E. D. Hodge. In the room where
the boys slept was one of these toy II.
fes which young Hudnal admired. and
after breakfast Sunday morning wiley
Hodge, trying to entertain his company
picked up Winchester rifle whlcn
which was kept in the room to XII
hawks. Wiley undertook to show too,
ert how the rifle worked and pressed
down the lever: when he did SC, the
the cartridge chamber was empty, out
death was lurking back IN the. maga,
zine in the shape of d cartridge tnat hao
been put in unknown TO Wiley several
days before, and when the lever was
thSown down the gun became cooked.
AMI when it was brought back IN posi-
ton the cartridge from the magazine en-
tered the chamber and the hammer came
down upon it and fired. Robert was
standing directly in front Of the gun and
received the ball in the side Of his throat
killing him instantly. The shock to
the parents and to Wiley Hodge is in
describable. One boy is dead, the
other suffering agonies worse than
death. Robert Hudnall was q good
boy, dependence to his parents, and
beloved by all who knew him. He was
OF a playful, afectionate disposition,
quiet and Industrious, and his untimely
death has cast gloom over the Hudnal
and Hodge families. The father Of Wi
lie heard the report OF the gun and lmme-
diately did all in his power to revive
the boy.
When the news reached here there
was universal expression Of sorrow
for the afflicted families, and great
sympathy for little Wiley who will go
through life with this shadow, although
innocent Of wrong intent, yet he VII
constantly have in mind the terrible
result of handling gun that he didn't
know was loaded.
The funeral took place in Manning
Monday morning which was largely at
