after a storm there comes a quiet"
will amply 20 the late disturbance. which
Is now about declared on in street railway
gossip. The public has at last made up
us mind to anxiously await develop
ments and see II the Manchester Inn
provement and Railway Company Will
give them the service they claim they
will after the completion Of the repairs
the road is undergoing.
In an interview with several OF Man
chesters representative business men they
are in favor Of not acting too hastily In
this matter. and think that time should
be given the management TO act on their
plans.
This newly required property Of the
Manchester Improvement and Railway
Company had 20 be experimental with
to a certain extent, as IL was bought 10
use for the money that was In 1t. ana
to make the road popular with Its
patrons Some OF Manchester's citizens
claim that u has well paid the company
since Il has been under their charge, but
q gentleman. who is in position 10
know. says ne Is certain 1t has been
a
bination, but he thinks eventually II VIII
prove a lucrative investment.
Among the heads OF families there seems
to be more dissension than" anywhere
else, for previous TO March they have
been able to get reduced school tickets
but tho company now having discon-
tInued the sale Of them II will prevent
a great many OF the children from at
tending school in Richmond, and It has
always been the custom for Manchester
TO be well represented In the different
schools there. But taking II all In all,
as the old adage says: "Tis an i'll wind
that blows no one good" Something good
will surely revert from all this past in
convenience, which has tried the patience
OF Manchester's people for 10! these many
years.
The proposed electric road to Peters
burg seems now certainty. and is
looked forward to with great deal OF
pleasure at both ends of the line.
One idea advanced is that the beautiful
territory through which 1t will travel
will increase TO a very large extent the
property along its line, and will be an
incentive TO draw capitalists in and around
Manchester and Petersburg. which will
very materially help TO advance the in
terest of our citizens in an endeavor 10
make Manchester one OF Virginias repre-
sentative cities.
New enterprises of this kind should be
given all the encouragement and as
sistance that can possible be given with
credit TO us, and the residents of Man
chester are beginning 10 see this in the
proper light.
All that remains is to keep UP this good
work OF introducing all of the latest i'm
proyements that will in any way benefit
Manchester and it's people.
All was stir and hustle here yesterday
preparatory to the leaving of large num-
Der OF Manchesters representatives, to

The Polk Miller entertainment, given
at Leader Hall Thursday night, was
grand success. and was heartily enjoyed
by all who were present. This seems 10
be happy faculty of this combination.

lie will also do st. Louis before he

The Rev. T. e. Reynolds, who has been

and it is thought he will be out among us
before long.
