Fridian.-This city is now figuring
ii wO propositions which may mean
tJ additional railroad outlets. One is
Cd ection with the Cochran road and
tt other is connection with the New
Orleans, Mobile and Chicago, which re-
Gently acquired the holdings of the No
biG, Jackson and Kansas City road.
There is much enthusiasm over the out
lock at present, and the next ten or
fifteen days will determine whether q
satisfactory deal can be made with one
OF both of the roads,.
In consideration of $1OO,O 900 it is said
th1N New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago
will run into Meridian, possibly from
Philadelphia, in Neshoba county. Coch-
ran people, it is understood, want a much
higher bonus, but a compromise may be
reached.

Meridian-The Mail Carriers associa-

signifcd it's intention of ignoring the re-
quest. Their action is prompted by the
fact that colored carriers are employed
in the department at Vicksburg.
