munity The completion of work TO which our city
fathers looked with so much socitude as means of
building up city, and for which large portion Of
debt has been incurred well deserves the attention of
their children. No undertaking of modern times will
compare with it in magnitude None ever afforded to
any city the promise of substantial benefits and yet,
strange say, citizens to have appreciation
of its advantages Surely, is high time that something
which this great work will pour upon us, if it be intend

neighbors of Alexandra have exhibited wise forecast
in the preparations they have already made and still
making to share in the trade of the canal They deserve
to succeed and they will succeed The people OF George

hitting any foreign power to acquire any new foothold
