The New G. e. O. Depot.

The question of the Corporation as
ssting the G. & O. in the erection of q
Depot on the site of the present one on
Ridgeway street is being discussed. This
matter should receive the careful consid
GRAFTON of the new administration, as it
means the appropriation of large sum
of money. 1t is contended by several
well-informed citizens that such an ap-
preparation would be unconstitutional;
that the funds of incorporated towns
cannot lawfully be used for such pur-
poses. Let the Council be first satisfied
ON this point, before any steps are taken
in the direction indicated. However, we
want it understood that we are not OPP
posed to any movement that will benefit
this city. If it can be shown that such
an appropriation will be paying in
vestment, and that there are no legal
obstacles in the way, then let the Coun-
Gil give the proposition favorable con-
sideration.

punishment of ten years in the peniten-

Clean Up Your Premises.

The last issue of the Buchanan Banner
contains the following timely warming,
which is applicable to this city. 1t says:
cit is at this period of the year when
the utmost Wig; 'ance should be used and
the greatest precautionary measures
adopted to prevent the generation of
disease. The germs of disease find no
better lurking place than in decaying
Vegetation and filth. 1t is, therefore, a
matter of first Importance to the SANTA
ry condition of the town that all citizens
should see that their premises are cleared
of decaying matter, and that disinfect-
ants, especially a free use of lime, are
used where needed. The town is entirely
free from epidemic, and the way to keep
it SO is to use ordinary p.ecaution."

The population of this country has
doubled on the average every twenty
five years; but the Christian church has
gained on the population r1tjl instead
of one in eleven, as at the date OF the
Revolution, one in every five of our pee
pie profess the religion Of Christ. Ihir-
teen millions of the American people are
communicates in evangelical churches.
Add q times their number for children
and adherents, and we have As, co., 600 of
our population under the influence Of
the church of Christ. Imperfect as is
the organization of the church on ac-
count of her sectarian divisions, the
remaining twenty millions have no or
ganization to compare with it. Nor have
they Intelligence, or social preponder-
ance at all in equ"' measure with the
followers of Christ, and as L said in
previous correspondence, that there is no
evil which could sts nd for a single day
against the united opposition of the
churches. The success of the past has
been won with an open Bible in all our
publit schools; with Sabbath laws gen

we have since learned to tolerate and
sanction. But to-day we are diligently
