Editor REPUBLICAN:
respectfully ask that you publish
the following, in reference to the
Ladies Cemetery Association Of
Woodville:
This Association was organized in
the month of August 1887, and from
that date to August 1888, one year,
collections amounted to $1s6.5O and
disbursements $184.2O. From latter
date 10 August 1889, second year,
collection of dues amounted to
$l67 O5 and disbursements $165 .65.
1t will be seen that the first years
collection exceeded that of the
second year. One cause of this was,
the dreadful condition of the ceme-
terry when taken in charge by us,
required all members to pay an
initiation fee of fifty cents before
beginning with the monthly dues of
twenty-five cents, so as to employ a
number of laborers at once, to get
the work started. Another cause
our membership has slightly de-
creased.
We have received aid from the
Mayor and Aldermen in small
amounts when asked for and they
gave us our working implements.
We received liberal donation from
the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, and ithout this we would
have been unable to accomplish what
has been done.
This month is the beginning Of the
third year, and so we beg all,
through this medium, to continue
their membership, and all delinquents
to please send in whatever is due to
our Treasurer Mrs. VIM. Chisholm.
United we can accomplish much, but
if members one by one drop off, it
will finally result in a few of us
taking care of our lots, while
others will be left to grow in weeds
which will greatly mar the beauty of
the cemetery.
Two men are engaged to work the
lots Of members, and NOW the streets
once a month, at this time of the
year, and if there is a surplus in the
Treasury, vacant lots receive atten.
ton. We would be gratifed to have
our list of membership increased
dues twenty-five cents per month.
Respectfully,
Mrs. d. G. BRAMLETT.

The Railroad Has COme!!!
BANql BANq4 BANdM


Which means the railroad recep-
ton. On Monday last thirty-twc
guns were fred by Captain Joor,
Sergeant Gildart and Corporal
Dickey, who commanded the artil-
lery
At the command (Ftrei by the
Captain, the Sergeant found the
touch hole in the right place (Which
was a matter of doubt as the
"Grover Cleveland had been spiked. )
On the first round the train was
stopped and the Captain mounted a
box car to make speech. A deputy
Town Councillor about this critical
time charged up and commanded the
battery to use more powder and
grape, "even at his expense " The
gun detachment pranced around and
double shotted the Grover. The
conductor responded from the top of
a second-class box car by pulling the
bell rope and the train moved on to
the depot, to find that the battery
had made a flank movement and
brought her guns to bear on the turn
table. The engineer hoisted a black
flag, blew his whistle, jumped to the
top of the smoke stack and informed
the Captain that his battery had
charged the wrong end Of the road,
that he had taken charge of this
old train eighteen years ago and
would hold it at all hazards.
The battery ceased firing, peace
was declared and your reporter left
the battlefield. SO did the battery.

Resolved, That our next mem
bers of the Legislature be requested
to endeavor to modify the existing

educable age from 8 to IL years,
instead of from 5 to q years, and
that they be requested further to
secure additional facilities for grant
ing school privileges to those neigh
borhoods having very few white
children.
Resolved, further, that they be
requested to modify the school law
so as to give the patrons of each
school district the privilege of de-
termlning when their schools shall
be taught.
Resolved, That for the next scho-
astic year the winter schools open on
the 1st of November next, and that
the summer term open on the lst of
June 1890.

From Wall street To-Dav

NEW YORK. March 20. IL a. m.-There was no
change IN the general character of the stock
market this morning, but the interest in the
transactions was centered in an unusually small
number of stock. tine dullness in the remainder
being extreme. First prices were quite irregu-
lar, and the changes from last evenings figures
ranged up TO y per cent either way, Lake
Shore showing the largest advance. and Jersey
Central the largest decline. The irregularity
continued into the early dealings, but Union
Pacific was selected as the principal object of
the bear pressure, and on a large business il
steadily declined l. Is per cent to co.,. Atch-
ison was also again active, and after an adj
vance to 43 from i2l last evening. il retired TO
~, but again recovered TO the opening price
Missouri Pacific was the weakest stock next TO
Union Pacific. but lost only fraction. Most Of
the list showed an advancing tendency in the
early trading, but were carried down in sympa-
thy. There was a slight recovery toward the
end OF the hour. but the weakness was renewed
and each of the three weak stocks was carried
down still further and at IL O'Clock the market
was fairly active and weak, but generally at
close TO the opening prices.

TIME Is MONEY.
The Stockholders ofthe Waltham Watch
Company Certainly Find it so.

BosToS, March 29.-At the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the American waltham
watch company yesterday it was voted to in
crease the capital stock $1,000 900. making it
S3,OOO,0OO. dividend of so per cent was de-
clared Royal E. Robbins, treasurer of the
company, said with regard TO the dividend
that it had been declared on the advice of the
late Sidney Bartlett shortly before his death.
1t was, he said, cash dividend The company
had surplus of $4,000, 900 above its capital.
for which the stockholders had nothing to
show. and this course had been taken that thew
might have some evidence of their property,
The capital stock had been increased to the ex-
tent of the cash dividend. and those of the
stockholders who wished could take the cash
they received in dividends and purchase new
stock at par in pro rata proportion TO what
they already held. 1t was not stock dividend
The other $1,000, 900 surplus would be used in
carrying on the business of the company. There
would be no additions to the works on the head
of the increase in stock. In 1865 when the cap
ital stock was $500, 900 dividend of $50 per
cent was made and the stock increased to $780,
600. In 1880 dividend of 100 per cent was
made and the capital increased to 3, SOC. 900,
and in 1885 the stock was increased $500 OOO
for which the stockholders paid Mr.. Robbins
wanted it understood that the dividend was
legal and that the stockholders understood the
matter.
