NORTHEASTERN DAPOT WAS
DISCUSSED AGAIN 34S7-4 NIGHT
BUT NO DECISION RE IHED

Among those who spoke were
Draughn, l. H. @. Cook, R. s. Ha(
w. M. Conner, Mr.. Klines, Judge Hill,
G. 2. Stevens, A. A. Montague and
others; Councllmen Hlghtower, Powe,
Roberts and Dill also had something
to say.
The whole matter was just this
said in as few words as possible.
Mr.. Curran after showing the new
situation, changed by hundred or so
feet, said almost fat-footed that there
was no other place for the depot than
that already selected and there 1t
would go. He was willing to please
the people if the people would be
pleased by that location for the depot
and he was willing to come to the
people first. If the people and the
railroad folk couldn't get together he
would go to the railroad commission
and if the railroad commission turned
him down then he would appeal to the
law and that would cause long and
wearisome delay.
About this time Councilman High
tower made some remarks in which b
stated clearly that the New Orleau
and Northeastern Railroad had neva
done anything special for Hattiesbur
and that there was no use in expecti1
that 1t would, therefore he moved ii
the original resolution, spread on I
minutes, demanding that the stat
be built on the west side, be reits
ated. y
The motion, after some delay caused
by lot of talk, was put and carried
by vote of TO 3, Mayor Donal}

The city council met Mr.. Curran
last night for another conference on
the location of the new depot but after
great deal of talk the matter was
deferred until Monday night.
Mr.. Curran reiterated his first and
what will be his last statement, that
there is no place for depot, such as
the railroad company wishes to build
save at the point already selected by
it.
And there you are.
However he went SO far as to say
that in accordance with a desire to
please the people it had been decided
that the depot could be erected little
further south--that is to say the south
end of the depot will come within a
couple of hundred feet nearer Agnes
street.
The balance of his remarks were but
repetitions of what he has already said
as to his wishes to please the people
and at the same time letting it be
understood that the only place that
the company would build a fine struc-
ture would be at the point selected on
the east side of the tracks.
The meeting was an open one to the
public and big crowd was present
and number of gentlemen who were
not members Of the council spoke on
the subject of the location. Some of
these had been in favor of the east
side from the beginning and others
had been for the west side and had
changed their minds after listening to
Mr. Curfan's line of talk.

DABNEY'S STORE
IS BURGLARlzED

o. p. Dabney's furniture and SEQ.
ond hand store was burglarized last
Sunday evening. The outprits gained
admission through one OF the large
back windows by nrying Oft the wood
en- shutter and breaking the glass.
They we're evidently professional
crooks. The instrument used for
prying the wooden shutter ott was a
sharp piece of steel spring about II
inches in length and one inch in
width and sharpened on one end. 1t
is evident that this instrument had
been used on previous occasions as 1t
was practically polished on the sharp
end. They also sought secluded
spot IN which to do their work, The
window, through which they gained
admission, was sheltered by IA large
apple tree. The other two windows
at the rear of the store could have
been entered with much less difficult
ty, because the wooden shutters
which protected them were fastened
on the outside. with staple bar,
while the one through which they
went was fastened on the inside OF
the building.
The amount of their reward con-
sisted of eight or ten watches, two re
vclvers and three or four razors. II
il evident that they we're frightened
from the scene of their operations be-
fore they had finished their job, be-
cause there were many other like ar
ticles that they could have taken
without extra effort.
Mr.. Dabney stated that he saw two
men standing on the sidewalk neal
the store late in the evening, and ht
watched them for time. 1t seemed
to him that one OF the men was
drunk and they were trying to light
pipe or cigar. However. he had NJ
suspicion that they we're intending tt
burglarize the stole.
Mrs. Dabnsy stated that abou
1880 O'Clock p. IN. she saw two mei
standing near the residence, ant
heard one of them say, "Wel, w
have to have it," These circum
stan ces, however, created no suspi

Town Talks Big Spring Edition

Town Talks Big Spring Edition.
The "Spring Edition" OF the Alex
andria Town Talk. issued about
April 18th, was most creditable
publication in every way. 1t was
printed in five sections of eight pages
each, making forty pages in all, and
ten thousand copies OF the big edition
we're printed. The Town Talk man.
agement is to be congratulated not
only on the mammoth size of its edi-
ton, but also ON it's artistic get-up
and the splendid print Of it's pages,
which are filed with nearly Il hun
dred pictures Of its noted men and
places Of local interest.
Town Talk has lately moved into
it's new two-story brick building, es-
pecially built and equipped with all
modern appliances for safety and
convenience in the newspaper bust
ness, and it has one OF the very best
publishing outfits in the State. The
printing OF its handsome Spring Edi-
ton does thedouble duty of being an
honor to the occasion OF moving into
its fine new building, and is also most
acceptable to the business men Of
Alexandria AS u valuable showing Of
the manifold enterprises Of that pro-
gressive city.

Pollock Notes.


| fOHock, LII, april 10, 1871.
Editor COIfgx Chronicle:
If you will allow me space in your
valuable paper, ] will try to give you
a gist OF the happenings OF Pollock.
MIR. Chas. West, of Lincecum, was 4,
visitor to this place last Sunday.
Everybody is looking forward to n
good time on next Saturday evening,
az that is the time set for the w. o. w.
box supper.
MIR. Albert Smith. Of WINFIELD, was
circulating among HIS many friends
in Pollock Iast Saturday and Sunday.
The Pollock first and second base
ball team met and crossed bats ON
the home diamond last Sunday af-
ternoon for practice game Of base
bali, the first team taking the game
by u score OF 8 to /.
Mr.. H. l.. Barrett, Of this place,
visited Alexandria last Monday
morning on business.
Wig F., the beautiful little son of
Maj. W. P. Guynes, returned to Pol
lock on Thursday Of last week, and
has made some dull sections of this
town lively since. his return. We are
all rejoicing with exceeding JOY to
know that Wig is only home on a
visit, and will make his departure st
an early date for parts unknown to
the public.
We notice Mr. j. NJ. Jones, Jr.. of
Selma, on the streets OF Pollock
again.
MIR. John Anders, the chief of POI
lice of this prosperous city, was ON
the sick list last week, but ia at his
post again.
The streets of Pollock are not only
a sight to be seen. but are a holy
fright. Some bitches through the
streets could easily take care of a.
large portion OF the waters Of the
Atlantic ocean.
A visit to the Bank of Pollock last
Monday morning at the opening
hour convinced the writer that Pol
lock has a bank that is doing a thriv-
ing business.
Some ''feller" said that contract
had been let for the rebuilding of the
big mill here. Wonder where he came
from, and what dry branch he got
his drink from?
There was considerable talk OF q
telephone system for Pollock at the
opening Of the present month, but
there seems to be never word utter
ed concerning it now.
Mr.. N. NJ. Brian, formerly Of this
place but now of Selma, was with
his many friends and home folks in
Pollock last Sunday. The writer en-
joyed u hearty hand-shake with Nat.
Mr.. Obj johnson, Of Dry Prong,
was pleasure seeker in Pollock last
Sunday. He says the mill at that
place is running nearly every day
and making d good cut, with Thos
White at the lever.
News is not hanging on peach trees
around here, SO | will be compelled to
close. II I see this in print win
come again.
With best wishes, | am,
