Flag DaY.

Tomorrow has been designated as fial
day. 1t is the 1l7th anniversary of the
adoption of the stars and stripes as the
emblem of this country 1t is to be hoped
that the occasion will be observed in an
appropriate manner by all citizens. Let
the flag float from every building in the
town, to the end that it may leave its i'm
press upon the minds of the young as
well as the old. Every American loves to
honor the flag of his country, and to see
it wave in the breeze stirs patriotic de-
votion similar to that which animated
the breasts of those of colonial days.
Therefore. let the stars and stripes be dis
played all over the town tomorrow that
it may instill into the minds Of the rising
generation a similar devotion.

alton was discussed at some length when
it was finally decided to hold meetings

tlon lists can be reached. Engineer
Womelsdorf was also present at the
meeting in the interest OF the new water
works. The object of his visit at this
time was to urge upon Council to increase
the capacity of the dam recently damaged
by the storm. The matter was left in the
hands of the water committee with in
structions to audit their accounts and
ascertain how much money has been ex-
pended upon the project up to the present
time. 1t is expected the works will be in
operations by September.

RAILROAD CONDITIONS.

Age Of steel.
The following letter will interest a
great many of our readers. II was in
response to specific questions submitted
by the editor OF this paper, as its text
indicates:
1st The railroad interests in the South
through the year now closing have been
very much depressed. Many of the roads
deIeud very largely upon earnings from
coal and iron. both of which interests are
al this time very much depressed.
ID. Traffic and earnings have largely
decreased, rs compared with the year
1892.
I'd, The conditions of our rolling stock
aud track is good and no additional ex-
penditure will be necessary next year
ON account of curtailment during lSs3
4th. do not know what the prospects
are for new railroad construction in 1891
in the South. ] only know that there
will be no building done by our company.
9th. / do not think there is much en-
enlargement TO offer for new railroad
construction in the South, as there are
already u great many more miles of rail-
road in that section of the country than
do a paying business. The laws relating
to and governing railroads are generally
all right. The difficulty is that 1t is very
seldom thai the legislature of any state
meets without imposing some new bur
den upon the railroads
9Th. The section of country through
which our road runs is Sparsely settled
and Of course we would be glad TO have
the lands occupied and new Industries
established in order to increase the traffic
of our road.

ments to capital seeking investment IN
