THE DUTIES or THE HOUR.


hands and There can be no doubt
that st. Cloud itself is much to blame
for tho depression that hss existed for
the past fev Jeals. Want Of harmonious
and united setion and effort will kill any

ss@shneas on tho part Of individuals,
aads more Of harmony and union in this
community - respects our r,ilroad in

Dat st. Cloud would not be lying, -
che Is, out in the cold, in this regard.

But at this junoture We feel in duty
bound to warn our citizens, that these
indications, present and prospective may
be utterly thvarted by petty dissensious
and jealousies. Now, of al times is the
occasion to forget or lay aside party
dhlikes and differences. and strike
hands id . united effort to promote and
establish the .position Of st. Cloud, 10
respect to Railroads. This course We
feel oonddsat will make assurance dou-
blyfsuzs. Any other course must inev-
itably hinder and rstard, and may pos
sibly prevent altogether any. beneficial
results. This warning applies equally
