franklin Anxious for the MlssIssipp
Central Railroad.

The following letter, published
in the last issue Of the Franklir
Advocate, is Of general interest:
A letter from The chief engi,
lneer of The Mississippi Central te
me, says they wish an expression
from the people offering right
of way or inducement to build the
proposed line from Brookhaven to
Natchez to run through the ooun-
|ty and Meadville, or near it. a
short canvass is being made, and
with almost ali assurance that the
company will get q clear right Of
way and other privileges to en-
courage the location of the line
through the center of the county.
The citizens will do all they can to
encourage this route. Nature it
seems has provided also for such
an enterprise by offering more
advantages than any other route.
McCall's Creek valley extending
from Meadyille the greater part
of the way to Brookhaven pre-
sents an inviting line; on each
side of the valley are situated ex-
tensive forests of the finest long
leaf pine, and many varieties of
hard wood. Along here may be
found deposits of the best Of grav-
ell and beds of white, hard sand
stone suitable for building pur-
poses. Water as clear and pure
as nature can furnish. The avail
able water power for manufacture
ing purposes are plentiful, and
even sufficient to furnish electric
power to operate the cars if it
was preferred to steam. West of
Meadyllle line of valleys lying
on the course offers but few obsta-
.cles less than on any route that
can be selected. The transporta-
tion of the produce Of these fer
tile valleys, and the necessities of
the people offer an inducement to
q line that would pay from the
first train of cars going through.
JOHN p. BUTLER.
The same issue of the Advocate
contains letter to the Mississip-
pi Central officials from the lead
ing citizens and business men of
Meadville, pledging that they will
not only donate the necessary land
for right of way, but in addition
guarantee good will and even
handed justice under the laws.

HEAVY RAINS
AND NASHOUTS.
GREAT DAMAGE DONE TO RAILROADS
AND FARMING INTERESTS.
The DeIuse Followed BY Cold Wave
and Freeze.

New Orleans, March 90. Ex.
traordinarily heavy rains prevail,
/ ed through the Mississippi Valley
and the Southern States Sunday
and Sunday. night, and, as re.
sult, there were many washouts ol
the roadbeds of railroads and q
general Generalization of traffic.
In Mississippi all the roads suf-
4 fcred, but the most disastrous
consequences were to the Illinois
Central, the Yazoo and Mississip,
! pi Valley, the Gulf and Ship
Island and the Mobile, Jackson
and Kansas City roads. General,
lly in the State the rain approached
a cloud burst, so heavy and con,
tinued was the fall.
In the country districts roads
we're submerged, bridges washed
1away, creeks and rivers pushed
out of their banks and plowed
lands leveled. There was no loss
of life, but much damage was
done everywhere.
After the rain a cyclone is re-
ported to have touched ground in
Mississippi yesterday. News OF
the cyclone comes from Hatties-
burg, but particulars are meager.
There was probably no loss of
life, and the principal damage was
to the pine timber.
Louisiana also suffered, but not
to the extent of the sister State of
Mississippi.
In Alabama, Georgia and Ten
nessee there was a heavy rainfall,
and creeks and rivers are out of
their banks. A repetition of last
years disastrous food is expected
in Alabama.
New York was visited by a biz
zard, and there were snowstorms
throughout New England and the
North. The middle West was
covered with a blanket of snow
that extended down to the Ohio
river. In some places in Illinois
there we're record breaking falls
of snow. Chicago, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Columbus, st. Louis,
all were covered with snow, and
steam and street car traffic, tele-
graph and telephone communica-
tion seriously interrupted. In
the large cities there was report
of much suffering among the poor.
Colorado has been shivering for
a week, and great damage was
done by the storm. There were
many snow slides and loss of life
and great damage to property in
the mining districts.

Local Effects Of Down-Pour.

The rainfall at Brookhaven
from early Sunday morning until
Monday morning was 400 inches.
1t rained almost necessarily all
day Sunday, and most of Sunday
night. During Sunday night
there were times when it seemed
to literally pour. Few people
could come to town Monday from
the country on account of over
flowing streams in all directions.
No through trains passed Brook
haven over the /. G. Railroad
either way from Sunday night un-
til Tuesday forenoon, on account
of high water near Chatawa and
a break In the track near Byram.
The bridge of the Pearl River
Railroad across FAIR River was
partly displaced and a large force
of hands has been engaged since
making repairs. Passengers to
and from Monticello have been
transferred at the break, and the
Pearl River Lumber Co. Mills
shut down Monday, because una
bic to get their usual supply Of
logs over the road. 1t is expect
ed that the bridge will be repair
led so that traffic can be resumed
by tonight, and the Mills will
start again in the morning.
/ According to the best informa-
tion obtainable no serious damage
has been done to county bridges
Except the one across the Homo
chitto, on the Union Church road.
The wood work at the west end is
reported gone and the steel super
structure at that end slightly sag
Iged. Supervisor Jones has gone
out to investigate the matter.
