way Of repairs the iron rails have broken, ANIMATED

the track In the month OF January, while tho number re-

The failure OF rails is confined to no particular make,
although there Is difference easily observed between

number OF these rails have broken with less than SIX
months service, some with scarce one months wear.

told in the entire state last Winter though there
may I've a few more now; and that this will give us
some idea Of the political ignorance prevailing in that
outlying region.
The writer says that since the Stay law Of the last
six years has been declared unconstitutional execu

sold fer mere song and that hundreds of the great
