what way the 500 laborers about to be sent
from this country to the Mexican port of
Coatzacoalcos are to be employed. but ut is
supposed they have been hired by railroad

subject o."
The Mexican Government recently made q
contract. involving an expenditure OF "a $780,
600. for the construction Of a port and harbor
at Coatzacoalcos. pretty town at the mouth
ofths important river OF that name. which flows
northward across the Isthmus OF Tehuanttpec
in southern Mexico. 1t Is in direct line from
the harbor OF Ventoza. on the Pacific coast OF
the isthmus. and has invited the action of the
Mexican Government through It's relation TO
interoceanio communication. The river upon
which the town 10 situated has an extensive
basin. and the region that Is watered by the
main stream and It's numerous affiuents is
rich in natural resources. including among its
products mahogany sugar. coffee. cotton. to-
bacco. cacao. and vanilla. BY constructing ut
Coatzacoalcos port and harbor servlceable for
large vessels, the Mexican Government or

To the Editor of the alexandria Gazette:
II is surprising to stranger coming from
country where there are no toad making
materials, and having been long used 10
driving over what are called 'wretched
roads, to come into Alexandria county,
whose reads lead to the capital of the ns-
ton and afford advantages for supnrb
drive weye, with materials for constructing
fine roads, lying clcse 70 the road sice. to
find them worse, decidedly so, ihsn they
are awsy down In southern Maryland,
where there is nothing but eand snd clay
out OF which to make coed roads. Land
owners, taxpayers OF Aiexandris county,
are you asleep that you allow such q
condition OF affairs to sxis? II 1t ia 80. 30 has
been told me, that you are asleep, then,
"awske." shake yourselves, look around,
see what is going on In the weird and get
your eyes wide open TO the fact that you are
away behind the times and that your r0sds
would be disgraCe to section of country
twenty miles from abroad. What is Il,
then, when your land and your homes are
almost under the shadow of the dome OF the
Capitol? What is it, then, when from
every hilltop you hsve panorsmio views OF
wooded hill sides. sleeping vales, q great
city aod a historic river? What is 1t. then,
when those interested and desiring to sell
properly in your midst, 10 bring new people
and an abundance Of capital, are baked 10

gard OF your plaiu duty to your wives,
