Railroads and Towns.

Some of our people constantly harp
on the injury the extension of the
Southern road through our city has
brought to us. Yet all will remember
when the Southern was built, we had
about 2,700 people here and the total
valuation of city property was less
than 100000. Now we claim 5000
people and valuation has run up to
about 81 100000. That don't look much
like bringing ruin. does it? Then,
when we consider that had the South
orn been run on the line first contem-
plated, crossing the Mobile and Ohio
eight miles below us. and what the re-
suit would have been, we ought to
feel that we have been talking largely
through our hats when we indulge in
such pessimistic talk No railroad line

the development and upbuilding OF
