Some of our people are talking of
purchasing the B. & o. shops here,
and either run them or lease to Bald
win & Co., or some good firm. Might
get good fair deal that would prove
profitable.
The Brass Works have temporar-
lily closed down. Say, when the men
cannot work. should the president
and leading officials draw salary !?
Get closed down on that and the ma
chinery will run better.
The new ice Plant of Messrs.
Rothwell & Lovett, will in
a few days be ready for op
Grafton. The machinery is all
ready with the exception Of the
pumps, which are expected daily.
The plant can be put in operation
two days after they arrive.
Martinsburg must be a valuable
place. You can dump sections of
it in Brunswick and Cumberland
and still business goes on successful
ly, but while Strengthening the road
at Myers Hole, look after the SILL
100000 in Mayors hole, near Cum
berland, and some other pockets at
Brunswick.
Getting into business is one thing,
and getting out another. But it has
to go. This, however, is somewhat
like the lawyers advice to the man
who wanted to borrow money from

get out on time. The lawyer said,
"If they let you in, they will see

people. Our q. S. Senators paired
Mr.. Faulkner for the resolution, and
Mr.. Elkins against it. The resolu-
ton was adopted by a vote of Al to
IA. Is Republicans, 10 Democrats
and 4 Populists were in the affirma
tive, and - Republicans and 2 Dem
ocrats were in the negative. In this
battle, where human liberty and the
destruction of the manacles imposed
by Monarchies, we are inclined to
take the part of the Cubans, and in
this instance, therefore must vote
with Senator Faulkner, instead of
Senator Elkins.
