The most recent development
of Mexico transportation is the
electric railway. A local com.
pany was formed i'll 1910, which
was to build an electric interur-
ban railroad from Mexico to Per.
ry. In 1911 the road was built
as far as Molino and it is prob
able that the road will be com-
.pleted at an early date. The nine
miles which are built have been
great benefit to Mexico and the
farmers north of town.
No town can claim better
transportation facilities than
Mexico, and, in fact, few can
claim as good. To sum up her
advantages, she has three steam
railroads, an electric line in OPP
Grafton, two garages, two livery
stables, several dray companies,
many carriages and automobiles.

A HISTORICAL SKETCH.
in the First Stages of r.
R. and Transportation Build
ing,

The following was compiled
by the class of American History
in Mcmillan High School:
Mexico, like most other places
where there are resources to de-
velop, demanded better transpor-
tation facilities soon after the
Civil War. When the farmers
grew larger crops and increased
their animal industry, they
sought for better means of get
ting their products to the mark
ct than by transporting them in
wagons or on foot. With that
system there was only one mark
eft open to them, and that was at
St Louis.
When immigrants from other
parts Of the United States and
from other countries came to
Mexico, they demanded a better
postal system for transporting
the mails than the pony express
or hack line which took weeks
for them to reach their destina-
ton.
As the population grew the.
merchants trade increased until
they were no longer satisfied with
hauling their goods sixty miles
across the country in an OK cart
When the economic conditions
grew better and the people were
beginning to accumulate more
than their necessary living eX-
penseS, they were no longer con
tented to ride about in an OK cart
or on a mule but bought car
riages. saddle horses and finally,
automobiles.
transportation, in this section
of the country, was greatly aided
in 1871, when a second railroad
was built. This road was char
tered under the name of Louisi-
ana and Missouri River, but it
afterwards became part of the
main line of the Chicago & Alton
between Chicago and Kansas
City Its electric block signals
and other modern features make
it one of the best improved rail
roads in the State.
This road had good effect on
transportation by giving the
farmers the benefit of another
market. that of Chicago, the
largest live stock market i'll the
world The road crossed rich
belt of country, bringing a large
amount of trade to Mexico,
which was then the largest of
any size town, in this section Of
the country.
The South Branch of this road
was completed to Fulton in 1872.
The branch line was more of
help to Fulton than it was to
Mexico, since it was the first and
only railroad Fulton has re-
ceived. The people of Audrain
and Galloway counties subscribed
a large amount towards building
tire branch.
When the Mexico fairs be
came so important, the people
wanted some means of getting
from town to the fair grounds.
Consequently in 1894 mule team
railroad was built for this pur-
pose. The road was operate
only about a year when it broke
down and it evidently had not
been a paying proposition as it
was never repaired. The track
was torn up and the car was con-
verted into a popcorn and peanut
stand.
In 1903 another railroad, the
Burlington, came to Mexico. This
was an extension of the road
from Old Monroe to Francis,

COCHRANE'S Death
KOURNED IN CITY
Was Prominent as PaIatka
Business Man for over
Thirty Years.

Frederick c. Cochrane, whose
death occurred at late hour on
Monday night at his home in this
city, will be greatly missed in the
city and county where he had lived
since lad. He settled in Welaka
in 1876, where he soon engaged in
orange culture, a business he never
gave up through all the years of
his merchandising in Palatka.
lie entered the stationery business
in this city in 1882 and has continued
in that business since. He was frail
man but withal man of most re-
markable energy. His business had
grown to large proportions, especial
" his wholesale or jobbing depart
ment, and all because of that remark
able energy.
Mr., Cochrane was a native of
Rochester, N Y, where he was born
in 1857. He came to Florida be-
cause Of impaired health and the
change improved him. He was an
active man of affairs and held the
esteem and confidence of his neigh
bors and friends through all the
years of his business career. He
was member Of the Masonic and
Knights of Pythias fraternities.
He had been in poor health for some
weeks. but was thought to be improv-
ing, so that his death on Monday
night came as a shock to his friends
in the city.
The funeral occurred from the
home on Wednesday afternoon at ;
o'clock and great concourse of peo-
pie gathered to pay their last tribute
Of respect to the man and citizen
whom they had all known and admir-,
ed for many years. Rev. Archdea-
con Wyllie of St. Marks Episcopfl
church officiated. The casket was
covered with flowers and floral EN-.
blems. The interment was in the
family lot in West View cemetery
and the services at the grave weru
conducted by the Palatka lodge G.!
Masons, with R. J. Hancock as mas
ter.
Mr.. Cochrane is survived by the
widow, two sons grown to manhood
and who were assisting him in his
business;~>and one daughter, a stu
dent at the State University, Gaines
vile. His aged mother, whose home
is at Grand Rapids, Mich, has been
spending the winter here and was
with him when the end came.
Death is said to have been due to
heart trouble.
