The prompt way in which the St
Louis. Brownsville & Mexico rail
road has remedied the damages to
its ime resulting from the recent
overflow and gotten everything into
working order, reflects credit upon
IT While many of our people were
inclined to be very grourhy with the
railroad company for being left
without any equipment on this end
OF the line during the interruption
due to the washout on the track.
yet all admit that the company
could not help the overflow, and
cannot be held in any way response
Die for it. All realize that the rail
road company itself was a heavy
loser by the interruption of traffic,
and would not have lost a day if it
could possibly have helped it.
