How Mobile Got There.

In ante-bellum days Mobile was a
great port, ana ships came there from
al over the world Somehow, Mobile
failed to resume business along this
line when the war was over. and for
many years thereafter she languished.
A few years ago Mobile took a no.
ton to ianguish no longer. and she got
q move on herself. II is again a port
and the ships of the world are again
fnding their way into Mobile Bay
and UP to the city wharves. Just in
one day last week six ships sailed
from Mobile with combined cargoes OF
e.ss5 bales of cotton. S,3f3.475 feet
lumber. 54,154 slaves and $500 barrels
Of rosin; cargoes worth considerably
in excess OF ss50.ooo. Richmond Is
but little farther from the Atlantic
Ocean than Mobile Is from the Gulf
Of Mexico, and James River is about
as deep and nearly as wide as Mobile
Bay and --obile River. Mobile got
her lost shipping business back oy
going after 1t. Richmond can do like
wise. and now that she has the free
wharves she is going TO do 1t.

Virginia counties in which IL -four
ishes make more OF the goods. the
manufacturers and sellers Of chewing
tobacco will educate" the taste Of tho
chewers TO some other type. so that
they may be able to quit fooling with
the sun-cureo. At least, that Is the
way the manufacturers are talking
now.

Richmond has not, but should have.

invited to come in, that is. not very

around a table which looked as if it
might have been transplanted from

CITIZENS MEETING
HELD THIS P. NJ.

A number Of citizens Of Blackfoot
assembled in the Isis theatre this af-
ternoon to consider the building Of q
railroad from st. Anthony to Black
foot, the proposed road Of the electric
line.
Mr.. Duglas was elected chairman of
the meeting, and Mr. Young was asked
to address the audience as to the
purpose Of the meeting, and explain as
we'll as suggest course to pursue in
regard to handling the same, to which
request he gladly ascented. giving an
explanation Of a map which he had
drawn as to the route taken by the
railroad as explained to Mr.. Young
by Mr.. Armstrong Of the o. S. L.
Mr.. Young said that Mr.. Armstrong
had explained to certain extent a
railroad to be built around from St.
Anthony tapping the country around
Goshen and Presto and finally termin.
atfhg at Firth
This road as explained would make
almost right angle with itself by
taking the route through from Presto
to Firth but, should the road come on
through from Presto to Blackfoot thus
opening up an excellent and rich ter
ritory it would help Blackfoot as well
as the country surrounding considerab'y '
4. M. Capps stated that much i'm
provement is to be done on the O. S. L
N this city this summer, as to the
possibility of building a round house,
enlargng the yards. enlarging the de-
pot, moving the stock yards, etc., and
should the company see fit only to
come to Firth they would eventually
have to build buildings and accommo-
dation at that place whereby, if they
would come on through from Presto
making the road no longer than to
Firth the accommodations would be
here for the same and the cost would
be materially offset by the country
passed through.
