Ia this enumeration of articles
OF traffic value TO a railroad nc
mention has yet been made to
the passenger travel. which
would be considerable at all lines
and especially during the sum-
.mer months on account of Kolola
and Tulula Springs. The mail
and express business would also
be considerable, and double
daily communication with Co.
lum bus would enable many of
the business men of the city to
own homes here where their
families could spend the heated
term with as much comfort and
benefit as at some far away re-
sort, and at minimum of ex-
pense.
We believe that this section as
a revenue producer to a railroad
is of sufficient importance to
warrant favorable consideration,
and we believe further that the
growth and development after
the building of a road would be
constant aud steady for many
years thereafter. 1t has the
elements of staple prosperity
and we are more than anxious
for the road.
Should the Columbus Street
Railway people decide that they
do not care to undertake the
building of this road, which
would mean great source of
revenue for them. an effort will
be made by the business men of
our little city TO get the Southern
road interested IN such move
ment. Their line from Colum bus
to Birmingham passes within
eight miles of Caledonia and by
building branch line from this
point to Caledonia, using between
six and seven miles of their main
line leading out from Columbus,
this road could be built by them
for about 100000. One of the
highest Off cials of the Southern
road has been looking into the
proposed route for several weeks
and we have every reason to be-
lieve that survey will be made
of this route early this fall, and
it is quite probab able that Gale
donia will have railroad com.
munication with the outside
world before many months roll
by.
There will be an all day sing

Caledonia, Miss,
Septe N Der 5. 1905.
The Columbus weekly dispatch., 1905-09-07

At a regular meeting OF the
patrons of Caledonia Acade my
held at the schoolhouse on Sat
urday, Septem ber 2, 1905, at
O'Clock q. m, the following pro-
ceedings were had and adopted
Upon motion. Hon. A. L.
Myers was unanimously elected
chairman, and Hon. O. NJ Law.
renee, secretary of the meeting.
The chair announced that the
object Of the meeting was for the
purpose of electing two school
trustees.
Upon notion, Mr.. Fl. j. Egger
was unanim ously elected to serve
as trustee for term Of two
years to fill out the unexpired
term of Mr.. J. d. Lawrence, who
has recently moved to Colu M
bus. and Mr.. L. 3. Lawrence
was elected trustee for term of
three years to succeed Mr.. II. j..
Egger, whose term expired on
that date.
The chair then requested the
secretary to read the eleven ap-
plications., representing seven
different States, in the order in
which they had been received.
these applications being for the
position of principal of the school
for the session of 1905 and 1906.
The trustees, having SO much
good material to select from.
failed to elect a principal for the
school this fall, but we are in
formed that they expect to have
a meeting early this week for
that purpose. They could hard
~ make a mistake in giving the
place to any one Of the .aappIi-
cantS.
The question of supplementing
the principals salary from S65
per month, the amount paid by
the county, to 500 per month,
was then taken up and decided
upon, the $35 additional per
month being raised without any
difficulty whatever. This clear
~ goes to prove that the people
are in earnest about having a
good school this winter and the
prospects now are very promis-
ing
Besides the high school which
she must have and will have,
Caledonia needs railroad com
munication with the rest Of the
world. We have an ideal loca-
ton for a town, high and dry,
with natural drainage in every
direction. and in the midst of a
prosperous and thickly settled
white section. Politically, this
precinct has long been the pow
er behind the candidate" in all
county elections, and in State
affairs its vote is of no mean i'm
portance.
AS loyal Lowndes countians
we want better inter -commun-
ication with our own town, Co
lum bus, rather than with West
Point or Aberdeen, and we were
in hopes that the promoters of
the Columbu Street Railway
could see it to their interest to
extend their track to our village.
with possibly a turn off to Kolola
Springs.
From the best information
we can get on such matters, we
are led to believe that a line
could be built and equipped,
using at first steam or gasoline
motor power and second. hand
rolling stock. for about $1,000
per mile. and we believe that the
people along the line would aid
literally such an enterprise.
AS to the probable revenue for
such a road, we beg to say that
the country contiguous to Gale
donia produces between 5000
and Z 900 bales of cotton annu-
ally, and markets possibly 1885,

ly. a considerable amount of lum-
Der and slaves. and this business
would be quadrupled with rail
road communication and We
fully believe that the value of ex-
ports which could be handled
from this place annually would
not be far from a quar- ter of a
million dollars. The ! ports
consist of tilizers, cotton
seed meal and hulls, goods, ag-
ricultural implements, etc.
If line of railway proceeding
from Colum bus to Caledonia
should continue north along the
east foot. hills of Buitahatchie to
an intersection with the Frisco
at Gattman. a large and unoccu-
pied section of country, rich in
tim Der, soil and iron. would be
opened up, and whose natural
and traditional outlet is Colum-
bus. A glance at the map shows
the extent of this territory,
bounded on the north by
the Frisco, on the east
and south by the Southern, and
on the west by the Frisco and
I. c. railways.
Near Vernon, Lamar county,
Ala, is very large iron ore de-
posit, and one of the early foun-
dries of the South was located
here and successfully operated
by Hale & Murdock, of Colum-
bus. until the advent Of railroads
and cheap transportation forced
the business out o. existence.
M ny articles manufactured
there are still in use in the
country, and blacksmiths who
have worked the iron say that
the swedge iron is hardly supe-
rior.
It behoves the business men of
COlum bus to secure, while the
opportunity offers, this i'm port
ant territory for themselves.
It's loss, by an east and west
road, means a reduction Of terri
tory tributory to Columbus on
the north to a limit of not more
than ten or twelve miles. West
Point has long had covetous eyes
upon north Lowndes, and her en-
terprising business men stand
ready to contribute largely to-
ward the building of any road
which will divert this large
trade to their own town. They
haye, still, hopes that the Win
field-West Point extention OF the
[. G.. will be built, and if so this
would mean the loss of this en-
tire section to Columbus. The
development of this section will
be of much benefit to Colum bus,
provided Columbus is the outlet
for it's trade, but not otherwise.

New Salmon Cannery

A joint stock company is now being
organized under the name of the "Isl-
and Packing Company" to take over
the cannery department of the Broder
& Mead business, doubling the capaci-
ty of the plant and engaging in salmon
canning, as well as in the canning of
CLAIMS, fruit and vegetables. The
principal stockholders are Broder u
Mead, E. H. Nash and James Burke.
A large addition to the present can
merry building will be erected and
salmon canning plant installed of suf
ficient capacity to pack 500 cases
day. The company does not plan,
for this season at least, to operate
any traps, but will buy its fish in the
open market. Broder & Mead have
already established valuable trade
in canned clans and fruits and the
continuation of these features of the
business will enable the new company
to keep the plant in operation at all
seasons of the year, making it OF
more value to the community than
large salmon plant operated only
during the summer months.
