ment that Col. Taylor said if the
people of Starkville wanted a
joint depot, he was willing to
build if suitable agreements and
arrangements could b e made
with the Illinois Central Rail-

petitions already filed with Col.
Taylor, l, 9. 3 and 4. (of which
you have carbon copies) show
conclusively that the people of
Starkville do not want a joint
depot, but want the M. & y. to

here, on the street this morning.
he told me this. that, just for his
own satisfaction. he kept, yester-
day, Sunday tab on the passen-
ger, or ticket money taken lE by
the M. & 0. during the day, at
Starkville, and 1T amounted to
$161, and that $130 of this was
paid IN by people of Needmore e.,
this $13O including $50 paid in
by the John M. Stone Cotton

must remember, is the place
built up by reason of It's close
proximity to the M. & 0. depot,
depot grounds and terminals.
