Mr.. Jesse Croker is Interested i'll
getting the Southern Z abroad to
build a waiting room at Rose, and
we hope he may succeed. Nearly
every train that passes, stops there,
and some accommodation should be
provided. Then, too, the naIne
should be changed, having always
been misleading FROM the fact that
it should apply Appropriately to the
crossing at the iuncti pn, where most

| peace aud prosperity, safety and
| happiness of the PEOPLE. The Dem
ocratic party IS 40 more perfect than
Individuals are, and may make mis-
takes, but fof the sake of our
homes, for the sake Of the future
welfare of our loved country, it is
t1e IutY of those who believe in its
