MOBILE & OHIO r. r TO ERECT
HANDSOME NEW BRICK DEPOT.
Work Begin as Soon as Plan is Approved by State Rail
road Commission. New Depot to be
Erected on old Site.

l +
i Plans for the new freight de-
pot to be erected by the Mobile
and Ohio railroad have been sent
to commissioners Kincannon for
examination to be submitted to
the railroad commission at their
next meeting for approval when
work will begin Immediately on
lit. The plan calls for a brick
building with Is inch wall, $50
feet in length and 36 #. wide.
The new building will be con-
structed on the old site, the north
end will be extended within a
short distance of the line of Main
street. The Offices at the sug-
gestion of Agent who will be in
this end Of the building and will
be arranged most conveniently
for the officials Of the road and
the public who have business with
this department. Ample plat
forms will be constructed around
the entire building and every
facility afforded for the prompt
and easy handling of freight.
The work will be done by force
Of railroad employees and will be
completed within ninety days
after work is begun. Pressed
brick from Belleville, ILL.,, will be
used in the building and when
completed it will be one Of the
handsomest along the line.
At the June meeting of the rail
road commission plans for the
union station will also be submit
ted to the commission and if they
meet the requirements they will
also be adopted and the road al
lowed to proceed with the work
of making the needed changes
in this station. The present
union station is by no means
adequate to the needs of the trav-
cling public and in remodeling
the station many changes will
have to be made to afford the
needed accommodation. With the
small rooms It's impossible for
the officers to keep the station at
all neat or comfortable and when
the change is made a commodious
station should be constructed
to meet the growing demands.
Tupelo will before many years
be a city Of ten thousand people
and a union station to accomo-
date the travel of a city of that
size should be erected. The
roads will find it economy to
erect such a station.

'TUPELo, MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY ae 1905

Taking the real estate market
as a barometer the actual condi.
tions prevailing may be ascertain
ed in any city, town or community
The conditions here at this time
were never more encouraging
and the faith Of the people never
more apparent that real estate
in Tupelo is a good investment,
Without making the investigation
thorough we feel that we can
assert without chance of being
mistaken that the month of April
saw a greater number of real es-
tate transfers than any previous
month in the history of the place.
These deals were for every
description of real estate lots for
homes, for business houses and
for speculation were pur chased
at prices that twelve months
ago would have been hooted at
as entirely too high. In fact the
time has arrived that any body
with property to offer can find
a purchaser who stands ready to
take over the offering. The ac-
tivity begun with the opening up
of the spring season continues
and every day deals are on for
Tupelo property. The demand
is greatest for residence lots
which indicates the desirability
of the place both as a residence
town and business point. At
no time in the history of the
town has there been a greater
demand for residences than now
many come here to leave because
of the fact that homes cannot be
had.
In the building line there is
the greatest activity and the
music of the saw and hammer
is heard on every hand. From
the mammoth factory to the neat
cottage is this class of work go
ing on. Without attempting to
cover all the work now in prog
ress and which has just been
completed we have tabulated a
number of the factories and res
licences that have just gone upor
are now in course of erection:
The Tupelo Fertilizer Factory
with a $50, 600 plant nearing
completion.
The Three Story store house
of The TupeIo Mercantile Co.,
The mammoth Wholesale store
to be erected by Clark and Co.,

Fire Company to be Organized.

A movement is on foot to organize a
fire company among the young men of
the city. The need of such company
is apparent and every aid and encour-
agement necessary to perfect the or
ganization should be given. With the
completion of the waterworks and an
efficient company well equipped would
prove very valuable acquisition to the
city. The organization should be per-
fected without delay.
