meeting was turned down 50 hard that
II didn't seem as though had ever been

went ON according TO the old-time idea.
and he was reelected, but by .he time the
third town meeting came around. they
had all had chance to see the result OF
my piece of work ct that point. The
repair was permanent one, and what had
been one OF the worst pieces OF road in
town in mud time, was now one of the
best. The people appreciated this, at
least think they did, for | was elected
road commissioner, and have been re-
elected every year since, and have fol-
lowed out the same line which began at
that time.
During the meetings there was not a
session but what three or four men told of
similar occurrences. 1t simply shows that
the man with practical knowledge who
viii investigate and seek to do as did this
man, can accomplish results. He may be
turned down at the next election, but so
soon as the people have had an oppor-
tunity to see the results of his good work.
ne Is sure to be returned to Office again
and that is compliment sufficient for
any man.
MORE WORK PLANNED.
Commissioner Sargent Is now planning
to get out into the field with the road
builders for some practical demonstra-
tions in road building. He believes that
a follow-up scheme OF this kind will be
appreciated by the commissioners and
will be beneficial to the roads OF Maine
He is now making arrangements with
the different men as to the times when he
shall visit their localities and go over the
roads or any particular piece OF road with
them.
1t would be good idea, the commits
sioner thinks, IL arrangements could be
made for some kind Of a gathering OF all
these road commissioners in one place at
the same time,ior a few days, where they
could be given practical instruction in
the work Of the constructing highways.
The idea would be, OF course, to let them
do the actual work under the direction OF
an experienced engineer and road builder.
Such thing would cost tidy sum OF
money, no doubt, but it would be money
expended in a manner in which every
resident OF the State would be interested,
and as one man says, ''The State OF Maine
has stant a vo.ld many thousands pf dol
lars more than this in the past"

"At one of the meetings, to illustrate the
growth OF the idea that it is better TO
make one permanent improvement each
year than TO use the money in temporary
repairs, young man got up in the course

Teams could get over, put my crews on,

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL AGAIN.

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL AGAIN.
With two such magnificent fields
as the Bigbee valley and the Pearl
River valley untouched by railroads,
and with the marvellous possibilities
which these sections present to cap
ftal. II is natural that speculation as
10 railway development in these sec
lions should be constantly INDUCED
in. We hear of railroads on all
hands, of companies planning to
build lines, of powerful railways
seeking entrance into these fields.
The Dispatch is optimistic along
his line, and while much of the news
paper talk is no doubt surmise on the
part of the energetic correspondents,
we believe that both of these terri
tories will before long be opened to
railway development
OF late we have heard much of the
road from Jackson to this city Not
long since we presented a special
from Jackson stating that the Good
year timber syndicate had purchased
a million dollars worth of timber in
the Pearl River valley, and now
comes another special from the short
of-copy fellows at the capital stating
that the Illinois Central has placed
an agent in the field for the purpose
of securing the right-of-way for a
railroad from Jackson to this city.
The alert correspondent of the Me-
ridian Star is responsible for the fol-
lowing, and we trust that 1t is true,
that he knows whereof he writes.
A special from Jackson to the Star
says:
1.-The Illinois Central has placed an
agent in the field to secure right-of-
way facilities out of Jackson for the
proposed new railroad up the Pearl
River valley The identity of this
agent has not been revealed, and he
is working quietly at his task, but it
is known that he was assigned to the
work from the Memphis office. The
Illinois Central had survey made
for this proposed line from Jackson
to Columbus last summer, the work
being under the direction of Engineer
Baldwin, and the fact that timber
agents are actively engaged in COB
bling up all available tracts in the
delta has perhaps been the incentive
that has stirred the company to ae-
ton, especially in view of the dis
quieting rumors that the Southern
Railway has a corps of engineers
coming over the same route"
