They say the husbandman is

blow for New Orleans and the

overwhelming zeal.

manner to spread dismay in the
evening, and cyanogen could be
no worse in its effec Is. Over
awing members are to sweep
down upon congress, everyone of
the swirling host of campaign
ers laden with argument and
charged with enthusiasm, it is
explained. What chance Con-
gress will have to deny their de-
mand for the exposition remains
to be seen.
Fill up Washington with Lou

President would succumb to the
atmosphere and environment.
Environment is the thing these

work of the very best kind IS
being done. New Orleans will
succeed in placing herself to the

BUSINESS MEN

A representative body of citi-
zens of Columbus left on Thurs
day for a trip over the Alabama,
Tennessee and Northern r. R..
which is now completed from
Reform, Alabama to Geiger in
Sumter County. The party
stopped at Carrollton, Aliceville,
Cochrane, Pamela and Dancy in
Pickens County, and at Geiger.
President John 7. Cochrane of
this railroad deserves great sue
cess for this enterprise. He has
opened up a new country which
is right in the prairie soil, and
the towns visited have all fair
start and good inducements are
made for settlers.
A heavy rain fell during al
most the entire trip; but it did
not throw any damper on the en-
thusiasm of the members in the
inspecting party. Thursday
night was spent at Pamela, where
"reminiscences were exchanged
between the various members of
the party.
A special train was put on at
the disposal of the business men.
and they were pleasantly enter
tanned throughout the trip.
While they were enthused over
the new country, they did not
loose any opportunity to boost
Columbus. A number of alfalfa
fields were inspected and it was
the opinion of everybody that
the country traversed by the
railroad will soon be thickly set
tied, when it is properly called
to the attention of home seek
ers.

were as follows: Messrs. J. 7.
