OFFICE ALEXANDRIA WATER CO..
May 18th 1872

" May 18th, 1872.
The unprecedented early commencement OF
general and severe drought has excited the APP
prchension of short supply OF water, and calls
for preventive measures on the part of Its OIL
GERS to provide against all unnecessary waste by
consumers.
1t is the earnest request of the President and
Directors to heads Of families that no unneces-
sary waste shall be permitted, and that servants
and children shall shut off hydrants rs soon rs
possible when used.
Especial attention is called to the use of wash
pans and bathtubs both fruitful sources ofwaste
The rules and regulations of the Company,
under its charter, provide fines and penalties for
a,,y and NIL unnecessary araste, and it becomes
the imperative duty of the officers, especially
under the condition of a scamt supply, to enforce
these wholesome regulations upon Ill offenders.
a deficiency of this indispensable article to
housekecpers induces us to hope that we shall
be sustained in our efforts to prevent all raste
while furnishing all parties with necessary
supply for domestic purposes.

what Huntington Needs.

Nature has done much for our beautiful city:
there Is no place ON the Ohio river from Pitt-
oursh to Cairo, which presents SO many adyan-
ages either to those seeking a pleasant resi-
uence, ne place Of trade or for manufaetu.
ring point. Nor do We find any poin, where
there has been like there is here, n eompany
owning the land who in laying out the ei,v aid
so with due regard to picturesaueness. beauty.
and convenience. Ar these advantages we Of
Huntington enjoy, and the growth Of the place
Is sure, but there are many local eau... which
may accelerate or rctard that growth.
one Of the first things needed is what is CALI
cd IN military company esprit du' cotp.; a feel
ing which binds the citizens together and COM
pels them to realize that what injure. one. in.
Jures all, and what conduces to the legitimate
prosperity OF one, adds so much to the pros-
perity of the whole place. This is especially
needed here, because the citizens hail from all
parts OF the country, from North, S,uth, East
and west it must not be forgotten that here
all are citizens Of Hunting on, and there should
be no distinction between those from difTercn,
sections; when we come here our interests be-
come identical, and no man who has the inter
ests OF this place at heart will speak one word
to revive old Prejudiccs between the sections.
thorough devotion to the interests of the
place. determination to depend upon our own
efforts for success, n united action in encour-
asemens of every enterprise having for its OBJ
ject the permanent good of the place, these will
push US forward rapidly to that position which
this city is destined to fill in the State of West
Virginia.
But another matter; too much money must
not be expended in building and stocking re-
tail stores; it is true that in starting larger en-
torPrises considerable capital is required, but
by the cooperative system a large capital may
be raised without any one man being called on
to contribute very largely. In the prosperous
towns in Ohio and other States many compa-
MES are being formed for the prosecution of va
rious kinds of business.
| One thing that is greatly needed here is a
Foundry and Machine shop where agricultural,
and all other kinds of machinery can be made
and repaired, and plows, stoves, &c, manufac-
tured. There can be no doubt that such an
ENTERPRISE would be largely successful, but how
shalt We get one here? Let the citizens, as n
company or otherwise, erect the buildings, put
In tie cupola, fan, engine, &C., and there is no
doubt that good man or company can be read
lily found to stock and work them There are
few places presenting greater inducements for
such business.
There are many other enterprises to which
we might allude, but will reserve them for A
future day. We wish to say, however, that
this paper will be devoted with its entire cner-
ses to the Advancement Of the material good
of this city, and while we shall pursue deoi-
dcd course in politics, yet they must he a sec
ondnry matter in comparison with what is for
the advantage of Huntington
