overcame MANY obstacles calculated
to down a man, but he possessed
that indomitable will and persever-
ance and pushed on, securing the
right of way through Meridian.
After reaching Sebastopol he was
stopped suddenly, the Interstate Com
merce Commission refusing to grant
him permission to extend the line
After making nearly dozen trips
to Washington he obtained the de-
sired authority to 60 ahead, and now
the road is completed to- Walnut
Grove, Leake County having her
line of chartered railway.
A truck line between Walnut
Grove and Carthage will be estab-
lished without delay in short time
and freight will be delivered at the
county site, the trucks being oper-
ated in connection witk the railroad
Trips will be made laily between the
