dence as topic Of conversation over the
strick
Easter morn dawncd bright. Services
were held in the Presbyterian church,
and tho occasion was, as usual, the signal
for many to add frOsl touches to their
toilcttcs. The children all over town
had tho enjoyment which this time al
ways affords them, and hunted their
Easter eggs with zcst.
The fact that DR.. T.. A. Hines has been
chosen delegate to the Gencral Assem-

a sad death occurred in our commu-

daughter Of Mrs. Sallc Land, who was
made widow by the late war. About

They were happily married, and during

THE TELE EGRhPHERS' STRIKE.

On last Thursday at II o'clock Il gene
raj strike of the telegraph operators on
the Southern hallway was nauguratCd
in pursuance to an order of President

pliers The operators asked for Il work
day of eleven hours twelve hours includ-
ing one hour for dinncD, and pay for
overtime: that agents be relieved Of
trucking and loading cotton; and Il few
other equally just and reasonable acccs-
SionS in their favor were sought. with a
view coward placing the compensation of
operators ON something like Il parity
with the duties performed by them.
Under the present system of working the
operators are a: the mercy of the rail
road. If the officials see fit to hold an
operator al his post for fifteen to eighteen
hours a day they do SO, but not one cent
Of extra pay is even hiutrd ut by the
road.
In thcir attempts to inauguratc fixed
work day the operators were ignored by
the milw way officials, and all attempts at
obtaining Il hearing were truitlcSS. Arbi
tration was sought. but the railway pco-
pie seemed avcrSo to this or amy other
method of adjusting the existing dine :

WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION

The movement on foot to secure , per mlnent cemetery site frem the government for Sksgway Is one that it Is hoped will be heartily supported by the citizens Of ihis community. The fact that Alaska Is becoming an empire attracting the atten- ton of the world a, large and promising to be the permanent home of an active and hardy race of people should De taken into consideration In considering the matter of the present agitation for the burving place Of the dead. The burial grounds of Sksg- way may, therefore, be considered no, temporary and emergency blyouac of the dead, but one that will be thelr eternal resting place. lt is to be hoped that those having time will turn out in force April 10th and help improve the road to the cemetery.
