We hear nothing more of the
railroad or railroads building into our
city. Have they been abandoned, or
are the companies getting in shape to
begin. Let us have more railroads,
more factories, more people and more
money.
We have been asked our opinion
of waterwOrks, to which we reply:
They are much needed, and we will
favor all improvements of whatever
character, provided they al be dis.
tributed within the city that all may
have equal justice. If this a be
done we are for waterworks, electric
lights, sewers and auy other general
improvements conducive to the adj
vancement, prosperity and wealth OF
the city.

The stockholders in the Sturdivant
Bank have concluded that the business
of that old and solid banking house is
deserving of a larger. better and moro
modern building than is now occupied
by the Bank and they propose TO pull
down the old house aud erect a build
ing to cover the entire lot from Main
street back to the alley. The build
ing is to be a thrce-story structure,
firc-proof. Mr.. J.. B. Legg, ofSt. Louis,
is now drawing the plans and speci-
fications for the building, and We I'M
dcrstand that he has been instructed
TO leave nothing off that would add
TO the beauty and convenience of q
modern bank building.
