We would like to know when the
management of the Morgan Road is
going to restore to the business and
travelling public the accommodations
that once existed on the road. It was
hoped that when the busy season set in
that tile increased traffic would cause
change, but we have been doomed to
disappointment. The present system
OF running mixedt rains is an abomina-
tion rather than convenience. One
baggage car and caboose are all the
accommodations afforded to passen-
gers between Alexandria and Lafayette.
We repeat, we would like to know
when the change is going to be made.
Will we get a reply or does echo answer,
when?

to convert it into an orchard and vege-
table garden. He has already begun to
prepare the ground, and will shortly
have a fine lot Of vegetables growing.
AS fruit trees do not grow as fast as

OF q character that tended to the full enjoy
ment Of roller skating, being cool enough
to render q little exercise necessary to CON-

tire possession of the structure, they being
present by hundreds. They seemed to enjoy
