RAILS TO HAVE DEPOT
The Railroad Commission Says
Rails Must Have a Depot and
il Has Been so Ordered.

The Railroad Commission de-
cided last week that the town of
Rails was Justly entitled to de-
pot. which will be erected in the
near future at the foot of Main
street.
Ii has been very inconvenient
for our citizens the way they
have been situated in getting
their freight and express here.
and all on account of prejudice
of the rail road company.
Rails not having depot has
been a drawback to her in
various ways.
The Railroad Commission re-
port which was printed by the
Dallas News. stated:
Rails. on the Crosbyton Il
South Plains railroad, is to have
depot. and the case was con-
tinued pending its constructing.
We make out of this, that if
the Crosbyton 4 South Plains
Railroad Company fail to erect a
depot here they will be fined.
One of the Railroad Commits
sioners was here some time back
and looked over the situation.
John r. Rails had employed a
lawyer to look into the matter.
but at the time the Commission
decided the case, his lawyer was
in New York. This very plain
ly shows that we are entitled to
a depot. Rails Banner.

and progress OF our people, as well
as the physical and financial re-
sources of the State. The 1919 ex-

velous achievements of great peo-
pie
The management OF the Arkansas
State Fair, assured Of the encourage
ment and patronage of the people
in building at Hot Springs a State
Fair that shall stand among the
greatest in the union. will not dis
appoint a single visitor during the
week of November II TO 10, and the

bly, make arrangements to come.
