When the Durham & Northern

the R. & D. passenger depot will be
about the most dangerous place in
town to get to. Having one rail

town from east to west is bad enough,
but the new project will make Pea-

A BIG MISTAKE,

Many of our citizeni were struck
with astonishment this morning,
when they learned of the hasty ac-
ion of the lown Commissioners, on
Saturday night, in grahting right of
way on Peabody street to the Dur-
lam & Northern railroad.
We publish in full,
elsewhere in
o-d a y 's Plant, the
resolutions
adapted by the Board,
which should
be entitled An Act to
Ruin a Large
Portion of Peabody Street."

This street is already
narrow, and
yef the Commissioners are hastily
called
together
and,
without anv
consultation whatever with the oroo-
erty owners, an order is rushed
through giving the railr'pad authority

and it is not right that the Board
should thus, without a moments

Death of Or. Pride Jones.
We learn from Mr. Allen Ruffin,
whb came down on the noon train,
that Dr. Pride Jones, for many years
Clerk of the Superior Court of Or

Hillshoro, on Saturday morning, at
G:3p o'clock. Dr. Jones resigned his
position a few months since on ac

A petition is being circulated ask
