The Rock Island surveying crew are again surveying southward from the line of Arkansas. Last summer they made a preliminary survey coming as far as Farmerville, and so far they seem to be practically following the line then run. Should Farmerville get this road also, there is little doubt but that the town will resume if not exceed its former significance as a trade center. With the enterprises now being formed we feel safe in predicting for the town a rapid and prosperous growth.
THE GAZETTE is pleased to place on its exchange list the Daily Times-Index, published at San Bernardino, Cal., and edited by Mr. L. S. Scott, formerly editor of the Crowley Signal.

Mr. Scott shows by numerous quotations from Louisiana papers that he is still in interested in the “white bosomed sugar-lipped queen of the South,” though he now lives in another state. The space devoted to Louisiana in the Times Index shows that the editor, though far away, still has a fondness for the grand old State.
