Mr.. A. l.. Phillip. Of MempLhs,
Tenn. a civil engineer speu, a
couple Of days here this week
Mr.. Phillips has charge Of
several surveying parties who are
now engaged IN surveying reuis
from the south on both sides Of
the river 10 Natchez. Mr. PHI
lipps refused TO aiselose the
identity Of the road With which
he Is associated but informs Us
that il would be made known nj
aD early date. He made an in
spection Of the topography Of the
county for several miles to the
north of the town and says that
The amount of grading necessary
TO bring the road into this town
makes 1t an obstacle, the road
would not care 10 snrmount.
However. he seems to lean to-
wards following the course Of the
river from Natchez down through
this county. To take this course
the road would run through a
very fne country, but il would
have the river as Il competitor,
while the proposed route through
Woodyille would open up a virgin
country Of fertile soil and large
tracts of magnificent timberlands,
besides large quantities of cx-
celIent stone can be found. We
trust the gentleman will not give
up the latter route until he has
made further Investigation. A
railroad bel ween Woodvllie and
Natchcz would be,a God send to
the people along the route and to
the entire county, aud we have
no doubt that il would be a pay
ing investment for the promoters.
The Times Democrat of Thurs
day states that the ST. Louis aud
San Francisco rallroad will GER
tmnly come TO New Orleans,
passing very probably through
Natchez and Baton Rouge. and
If this be true the road must
necessarily pass through our
county, This together with the
fact that the Natchez and South
ern Railway Company has bought
all the property of the New
Orleans and Northwestern 10 this
state, Is sufficient grounds for
feeling hopeful that another rail-
road will be operating in this
section in the not far distant
future.

Of rotrgut whiskey, and by dispens-

Whiskey and the voters have been
