Another reason IL that the John Deere Spreade
has 30 few paris. 1t has about $50 less types O

Dear Sir
Hope the meeting at Jackson
tomorrow, Feb. 10Th, Will take
no definite action upon the de-
pot question at Starkvlile, now
under consideration. All proper
time, upon application. should
and will be give all parties con-
cerned, for full Investigation,
examination and mature deliber-
alton and consideration in order
that all parties can act advisedly
in the premises. There is no
reason, there is no necessity for
haste. The M. & O. has a de-
pot that has been used for many
many years, aud can be still us
ed at the presens, and if necessa.
ry, the summer season. The 1.
e. has rented a splendid new up
to date brick building for its de-
pot and which is just as convien-
lent as the depot lately burnt.
In fact I have been told it is bet
ter quarters than the I. G. late
ly occupied; so, as said, there is
no earthly reason why all nec-
essary time should not, and I be-
lieve will. be given, as stayed,
for full examination, lnvestiga-
ton, deliberation and considera-
tion, then the true situation, the
true feeling, all round, would
have ample time to fully, freely
and soberly develop. Excuse
haste and pencil please and paper
all.
Yours very truly,

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
In the foregoing is presented

those already sent in, No. l and
No. 2. or course, 1T is expected
that this and the-other petitions
will be taken and considered to-
gether. all petitions being iden-
tlcally the same. AS soon as we
have about so signers we send
in the petition and begin to Cir
culate another, These are some
of the reasons for adopting this
course:
1st.
For fear per possibility you
might, IN the matter of the new
depot take some action contrary
to the will and wish of our peo-
pie. and which the M. & 0. peo-
pie We believe would always re.
gret.
End.
Because the petitions are SAT-
er on file in the hands of the M.
& 0. than they are up here,
being frequently handed about
from hand to hand and thus get
ting into the hands of parties,
now and then, who have no prop
er conception of their Importance
and may possibly be lost or MIS-
placed.
3rd.
Because we want the M. & 0.
to know as soon as possible, as
we sincerely and truly believe.
that. 90 percent of our people
want the depot built as soon as
possible, where the M. & O. pro-
posed and wants to build. that is
at the Overhead bridge fronting
on the macadam road, leading
from StarkvilIe to the College.
4th.
Because the writer is getting
along in years, and is as liable
as any one to mislay or lose the
petitions and deeming the same
of Importance. as showing the
M. & 0, Rail Road Company the
will and wish of our people. he
considers them safer in the
hands Of the M. & 0. than in his
own hands.
5th.
ALI are liable to die at any
time, especially one of my age;
by sending in the petitions as
soon as 40, Or so sign. then in
case of my death the petitions
are safe. In fact when 40, Or so
citizens sign a petition it IS con-
sidered in certain sense merely
the property Of the M. & O.
Rail Road and should be prompt
ly placed in the hands of the
Rail Road authorities. We think
our petitions fully and clearly
show that our people want the
new M. & O. combination pas
senger and freight depot at the
Overhead Bridge onting on the
rock road leading from Stark
Vile to the College, and we
think the M. & O. would be full.
ly aud amply warranted, in face
of the showing made. to go a
head now and build as soon as
possible.
Yours Very truly,
