ry or reception room AS a matter
OF fact, il Is without purpose, and
have never yet been able to under
stand why an architect should add
this suEortluous touch; but, since the
room is there, it must be considered
httinsly furnished This little room
can wen be done in bamboo, suggests
Vogue. Procure the kind OF curtains
that are used on piaz2as to protect
one from the sun and have the room
covered in these with strips OF BAN
BOO Forthcoming off three-foot spaces
and covering the seams. a strip of
bamboo is also run at the top, close
to the cove of the ceiling, and an

He stated that the railroad was
purely for the business interests of
Cairo-for cheaper fire. ght rates for
shippers 10 and from the city. That
no one was expected TO make money
our of the enterprise.
He said that the report thar he
Smith--would make a lot of money
out Of the road was a mistake He
said ii was true that he had secured
options upon lands of the Cairo Trust
company for a brick plant and for a
ng,in-scheme He would agree to

he city.
Nh Wood was opposed 10 the or
finance as it was introduced but sad
hat he was as anxious to see other
-oads enter Cairo as anyone. Mayor
Parsons took much of the same view
He stated that the donation Of right
)f-way through the Trust Proparty's
