A Line Will Be Built by the McNeal Company

The friends and patrons OF the McNeal move

Notwithstanding this, they insist that they

the men who compose the government OF this
city are dead against the introduce Of any

within the last thirty days. They all seem to
be men with judgment, but they don't seem to
see that they letting a monopoly get firm

''What does your company intend to dor the

1--WE are awaiting the action of the aldermen
next Monday night. At their last meeting they
slashed us up so much that they hardly left any

Plumbers Getting Rich.

The plan to illuminate the city by naturalgas
displays is still being carried out by the Board Of
Trade committee. At a recent meeting sub
committees were appointed to solicit the citizens
for private displays on the principal business
streets. and the proposition met with almost
universal favor. Bids were next advertised for,
ana the prices received from the various COM
panes for which gas would be furnished. But
here the work came TO a standstill, and there it
has remained for the plumbers Of this
city are so overcrowded with work that nothing
can be done. 1--WE ready TO begin putting
CD the arches" said Judge Martindale last
night" but we can't get any of the plumbers TO
even make estimates on the final cost OF
fitting. / was talking to one to-day, and
he informed me that all the plumbers
of the city are overrun with work
that half the demand cannot be supplied
He informed me that upon the city display work
estimates could be furnished in week or ten
days at least, and after that il would be month
before the work could be begun. But as soon
as we can We intend to begin work. Tee whole
matter is in the hands of the plumbers, and as
soon they can commence operations We will
begin, too"

''Is the party harmonious7'
Without doubt the Republican party is to-

FLORA BATSON.

The lady who heads this article
has won q national reputation as a
singer. Her marriage to Mr.. j.
G. Bergen has enabled her to
display her musical ability to an
advantage. Mr.. Bergen is a gen
tieman and the lady, Mrs. Bergen,
his wife, is a favorite in his city.
There is something eminently fas-
ciuating about Mrs. Batson Ber-
gen that will draw crowded houses
wherever che goes Her reception
in this city last week was one
that will be long remembered by
the Washington society people.
The very best element of our peo.
pie turned out to welcome, per-
haps, the most popular ballad sing
er in this country. We congrat.
ulate Mrs. Bergen and assure her
that when she returns again to
this city her reception will be
greater than ever before.

GREATLY ALARMED!i

1t is indeed, very amusing to
read the pretentious differences of
the Southern bous bons concerning
the so-called uprising of the color
ed people. We desire to say TO our
Southern friends that when the
colored people in the South, make
a start or strike for liberty the
whole civilized world will know
it. Tie Southern colored people
don't intend to stand any mure III
treatment. They have decided to
apply such a weapon of defense
that will cause their oppressors
and assassins to be alarmed We
are of the opinion that the color
ed men of the South are not anx-
ious to marry any white ladies of
that section unless these ladies
want them, and if the white wo-
msn e nc88toteeaa ST teeaa SSRfhs SSRofhsff and df1fRey they to
them, there is no law out side of
the boundary lines that will pre-
vent them from uniting. Cur
advice to the people of the South,
is to let the colored people alone;
if they don't there will surely be
some trouble. And when We do
start, some one will get injured.
We desire to be on friendly terms
with our white fellow citizens in
the South, and if it cannot be so,
then they must suffer the conse.
queuces. They shall then have
something to be alarmed over.

that will tend 10 give the defen.
ders of their rights aud liberties
a royal reception. We are pleased
to note that we have the undivid-
ed support of the local press in
this city.
