on the payment OF interest on the
bond issues of the road. and il is gen.
orally expected that the regular rate
OF three per cent on the A" series

gross earnings for October OF s3,%46.-

There Is nothing encouraging in the
outlook for the newspaper appearing
in public with dead weight on its
back. Much will be forgiven it II 1t
represents its own narrowness, but as
mere organ for special interests in
other pursuits II has weak appeal to
public confidence and support. This
much Ii inseparable from modern
newspapering.
Another thing is fairly well estab.

not live and flourish simply to meet
the desire Of some one to be In the

that way in the grocery business The
tendency Is toward concentration and
consolidation. There is much COM
