that before Saturday night. II Is a

To Railroad Men,
Lawrence county employees OF the

committee has had the matter Up with
the authorities each time. and in the
fourth campaign was led TO believe
that the credit would come here. But
II did not. and these sales In that cam
paign amounted TO $4,000. There is no
justice In this, especially when the To-
cal committee has Arranged for the
same terms of sale as the railroad on

Shall we finish the job?
The conditions OF the roads has made
II impossible to have committees tour
