Some time ago plea was put be-
fore the Town Council regarding the
more complete separation of white
passengers from the negro passengers
at the N. O. and N. E. depot. The
public are in hopes the matter will be
rushed through as quickly as possible,
as the passengers making connection
with the N. o. G. N. and N. o. and
N. b. here, quite number of people
are compelled to wait for hours at the |
depot. Surel y the railroad companies
owe that much consideration to their
to give them all the COM
fort possible. Slidell has made rapid |
drogress otherwise, in churches, pub
lie buildings, town hall and number
less other Improvements, but the LIT
TIE depot stands just as it was twenty
years ago. The white and colored
passengers occupy the south end of
he depot, separated only by one wall.
All use the platform at one time. If
t was not for the carefulness of the
abroad clerks and ever-watchful
yes of the marshals, White and Smith,
10 doubt the white lady passengers
you'd be greatly lnconvenienced.
then too, our town and people are
generally judged by the impression
ne depot makes on the travelling pub
lc. So the Slidell people owe it to
themselves to take an interest in, and
sslst the town council in this matter
n every possible way. i
