castor. The building will be erected on
the site Of the old school building, TINS
being moved to the rear OF the chuicn
as a hall and classroom for members on
the church. The building will be an or
nament to the city.

come a resident of Manchester and TO
be near his congregation.
He now lives in Richmond and comes
over here to fill his appointments Schooi

CAPITALISTS TALK.
An article recently published IN Inc
Times referring to the absolute need OIL
hotel in the city has put many people
to thinking and discussing the advisaolilSy
of the erection of a good hotel Tor me

business over here. and are forced to so
to Richmond to board. The running nj
a new road into the city and connecting
this place with Petersburg will make
the necessity for a hotel much more
pressing, and from talk with several
capitalists it is safe to say that within
the next six months one will be under
erection Merchants generally are look
ing forward to the time when this road
will be completed and connection with
the Cockade City be made quick and
direct A goodly number Of citizens who
live between here and Petersburg will
come into the city to trade. and for the
time that the cars will stop here it is
safe to presume that a good majority of
them viii trade here. Officers of the
rca6 would doubtless stay in the city
were there suitable public accommoda-
lions, and 1t behooves those interested
in the welfare of Manchester to try aud
start a hostelry that will be credit to
the city.

NEED OF MORE POLICE
The recommended ton of Mayor Maurice
TO the City Council for an increase in
the number of the police force has met
with hearty appreciation by the citizens.
The recent robberics committed in nearly
every part of the town and the inability
of the present force to properly patrol
the limits OF the city at night was the
cause of the Mayor asking for more
police. There are only four policemen
in the city, and at night, with one at
the station, there can be but one TO look
put for. the interests Of the people Mayor
Maurice has been twice visited by the
thieves, and once he was robbed Of con-
siderable tableware.
