! "When Monroe county proposed TO

! K. X. at GAINESVILLE, the Enterprise
| pointed out to the people OF that place
| the great advantages Of the proposed
route, but the leading men laughed at
| the idea of building the road; they
! had our trade anyhow, and what did
they care. As soon, however, as
! WOodsfcld and Bellaire joined hands
and with the assistance of the people
along the line commenced operations,
! GAINESVILLE began to sheer at their
| efforts: 1t would never be built,
the iron hadn't been dug yet, and
the timber hadn't grown yet to make
the cross ties. &c, and when, during
the panic, the officers met with re-
verses, GAINESVILLE took delight in
chuckling over it and eXclaiming, i told
YOU So Our road is now built, thanks
t. the opposition OF GAINESVILLE and other
places that fought it, and thanks to the
! backbone of our present President,
Board of Directors, and our people who
so generously donated money. Bellaire,
and not GAINESVILLE, is reaping the ben
Gifts, and will continue to do so, no mat
ter how many railroads YOU build"

Dallas Hammond, one OF the most ac'
compished glass blowers at the Bel
mont Glass Works, has presented your
branch Office with one Of the Clcarest
and most beautifully ornamental paper
weights we ever beheld. The initials OF
We local, in purest German text, are cut
in the glass, surrounded by wreaths OF
fern leaves that would put our noun
tain ferns to the test to discover that ma
turc had not grown them there. Con
noisscurs pronounce it a fine work OF
art, and we are proud Of it. Thanks,
Mr.. Hammond.
As mentioned in another place, the
men brought from Newark Ia take the
place of the strikers on the creek bridge,
| when they found out the situation, did
not 90 TO work. Consequently the
bridge is still in the same condition. II
is dangerous to cross it after dark, as a
deviation Of foot and half from the
usual course would precipitate wagon
over the bank. Some arrangement
should be at once, permanent or tempo
rary, 10 secure the safety OF travellers.
