COLUMBUS NEW RAILROAD.
Prominent Capitalists Visit Columbus
to Confer With Local Projectors OF
the Columbus, Memphis and
Pensacola Railroad.

Mr.. H. P Hornady, Of the firm
of Hornady & Co., capitalists and
railroad promoters of Cincinnati,
spent last Thursday in the city,
having come here for a confer
ence with the directors Of the
Columbus, Memphis & Pensaco-
la railroad. Mr.. HOrnady was
accompanied by Mr.. w. r. Ev-
ans, an expert who is employed
to examine the routes Of prOpos-
ed railroads and determine the
probable results that will be
brought about by the building of
the roads. Mr.. Evans visited
Columbus several weeks since
and went over the route OF the
proposed line from this city TO
Amory. At the time Of his visit
he would make no statement as
to what the nature of his report
would be but the fact that the
head of the firm by which he is
employed decided to come to Co
lumbus and take the matter up
in person is proof conclusive that
it was favorable, and seems to
indicate that the road will GER
tainly be built.
While Mr.. HOrnady was in the
city he held a conference with
the directors of the proposed
line, and that this conference re.
suited satisfactorily is shown by
the fact that he left Thursday
night for Pensacola, Fla, which
is to be the southern terminus
of the road. Judge Newman
Cayce, the president of the board
of directors, left for Pensacola al
noon Friday. and another confer
ence was held with Mr.. Hornady J
Tin that city on yesterday. Judge
/ Cayce was seen by a DISPATCE
reporter just before he left the
city, and stated that both Mr.
Hornady and the directors of the
road were much pleased with tht
outlook, and that the prospect.
for the building of the road wer,
most favorable.
Mr.. Evans will remain in Co
lumbus several days longer, ant
: will devote his time to making
minute examination of the jim
leading both northward ali,
southwark out of this city.

here last Tuesday, completed its
work on Thursday night, and,
after having selected Greenwood
as the place for the next annual
meeting, adjourned. The con
yention was one the best attend
ed the most helpful and in every
way the most delightful in the
history of the association. The
delegates were delighted with
the people of Columbus and
the hOspitable treatment which
they received at their hands,
while our citizens were equally
as highly charmed with dele
gates. Those who came here to at
tend the convention represented
the highest type of citizenship
of the State, and the mems Oers of
the local union will be stimulat-
ed to greater efforts and higher
aims by having come in contact
with these noble men and wo-
men to whom the cause of Christ
is so dear

Service" Rev. E. A. Kim brough,
Tupelo.
After the reading Of these pa
pers there was a practical illus
tratiOn of how a Sacred Litera-
ture Class should be taught by

Winona class is one of the lar
gest and most successful in the
State, and at the close of the
lesson was presented with 9

other school in the State in the
amount and character of work
during the past year. The pre-
sentatiOn speech was made in {
most graceful manner by Rev. j
