East Mississippi times. (Starkville, Miss.) 19??-1926, 1913-04-04

balanced by putting the l. G. in :
similar position at the southwestern
limits. An ideal place, then, fol
the |. G. depot is west of the cut
on Louisville street, a little south.
west of Mrs. Connell's residence.
Think what great advantage
this place affords. First impress
sions are the most lasting.
One alighting from the |. C.
train at this place would
have a beautiful panorama spread
before him to the westward-the
level to gently rolling meadow and
farm lands spreading far in
the distance on either side; cows,
horses, sheep, mule colts and
yearlings grazing upon the wide
spreading green. The newcomer
would invariably exclain: 'Ah,
what a beautiful and restful place
is Starkville. l like it." Then
his eyes would fall upon the
race truck, the grand stand, the
fences, stables and pens of the
Fair Grounds, looming up white
and beautiful, in striking contrast
to the surrounding green. Each
and every visitor who came in on
the l. G. would begin to inquire
about the Fair Grounds; each and
every student coming in on
the [. g. would advertise the Ok
tibbeha County Fair from one end
of the state to the other.
With the two depots thus placed,
think then Of the interesting and
diverting stunts that would fire.
quently be performed; lank and
lean West-sider making his mile
and quarter hurry hike to the
M. & o. depot at the East side,
and putting and perspiring East
slider holfooting his mile and O
quarter to the West side. Passing
one another on the halfway ground
they might say ON the spur of the
moment, What blame fools we
were not to put the depots in the
middle of this here town."
But then, as we have seen, con-
venience to the people who 20 and
come on the cars is not the most
important thing to be considered in
locating depots. Now inst as soon
as the promoters of the M. & O.
East side depot get the Illinois
Central official in the notion of
building their new depot beyond
the cut at the Louisville street
crossing, we West siders will agree
to have the M. & o. depot built at
the east side cut.

Hon w. b. Wilson, of Corinth.
railroad commissioner for this dis,
trict was in the city yesterday.
While here he went over the
grounds and into the depot situa-
tion thoroughly and expressed
himself strongly as being of the
firm belief that Starkville
needs and is entitled to a ur ion
depot conveniently located in the
center of the city and he is of the
opinion that we will get it. Mr..
Wilson states that he recently had
on interview with Mr.. Eagan, Di-
vision Superintendent of the |. G..
railroad, aud that that official did
not seem to entertain the slightest
doubt but that a modern and com
modious union station would be
given Starkyille by the two roads
at an early date.
