The Alabama Minstrels"-they

good they would have fulfilled their
Salina engagement for Thursday

the primitive mode of letting the
cattle feed on what they can find, and
drift with the storm" for shelter.

There is not the least doubt but that
Salina will be the end of the Second |
Division Of the Missouri Pacific, and |
for this reason shops on quite an ex
tensive plan will be located here
The Union Pacific, In consideration Of |
the roads South and Northwest, and |
being sufficiently near the end Of the
second division on the main line, will |
also beyond q question Of doubt |
have their shops here. The two
forces Of men combined with their
families, must add nearly IL not
quite 1000 persons to our population.

under the commands

not be because Of unclean walls and |
ceiling. Come and see US in our
highly embellished quarters.
