Te the Editor of The Observer: ' There may be delav In making some change at East Trade street and the railroad crossing because of the city's finances, but no one Will deny that the present congestion, is both inconvenient and dangerous and that in time something Is obliged to be done. The subway suggested will be unsightly and ao injurious .to contlg uous property as to involve the city in damage suits; the viaduct will look better and Injure less the business sites adjacent, for the buildings could be. carried higher and would be well lighted and probably handsemer than before. But It would mean tne low erlng of tracks for several blocks, thereby changing other streets , and Inconveniencing the railroads - in the approarhes to their yards. It seems to me that the best way to' relieve this beautiful thoroughfare of all ob struction and at the same time inter fere little with property and trade, is to have the city purchase th Seaboard freight depot and the right of way of both roads and then prohibit a rail road from crossing the street at all. The Seaboard has abundant space for buildings and yards on the north side. The Southern has its present approach to Hs freight depot and compress via South Tryon street. Exchange of freight could follow tracks already owned by these roads around the city. A consideration of what the rail roads would be saved in expenses from either subway or viaduct would sug gest a reasonable price for the depot and right of way. The depot could bo aold for business purposes; the street car company and property owners might be willing to contribute some thing, to get an unobstructed street. Business would surely follow and property values be increased from Col lege to Brevard. In time, handsome buildings would replace the present unattractive oies along this territory, and all property towards Elizabeth and Piedmont would find ready buyers. When onco the dirty, dangerous and annoying railroad is removed the whole city will rejoice. . JOHN VAN LANDINGHAM. The Indications are that the fruit crop this summer will be the largest in yesrs.

Mr I R Pmnrh of RtatKuvlltn. nnt In this way the present ,agt night In the city, stopping at the THE WHITE PIGEON LOST. Mysterious Bird Mistakes Southern For O. A N. W. Train at Hickory and Ws.ndera Away, So the Story toes . btronge Tale. . Visitors in the city from Hickory and beyond tell strange tales of the - mysterious white pigeon which for three weeks accompanied the C. & N. w. trains from Lenoir to Hickory and back again, sometimes going ahead, frequently trailing behind and ofttimes flapping Its beautiful taper ing wings within a few feet of the coach windows so much so that pas sengers within, if so minded, might easily reach out and lay hold of it as It Industriously kept pace with the moving train. , Thl, however, is ancient history for the- bird's uncanny conduct hm been mentioned on several occasions previously, much speculation being Indulged In as to what it portended, some saying one thing and some an other. But 4he bird has disappeared. It Is no longer to be seen going ahead of a C. & N. W. train, Hying between the tracks nor trailing along behind as If to guard the rear. ' The spell, whether for good or evil, has been broken. According to the' most trustworthy reports obtainable, the bird one day last week mistook a southern for a C. & N. W. train at Hickory and wandered away from its accustomed haunts, and has not yet returned. Whether instinct will ast-ert itself or i not, and the craving for home over come a desire to see more of the world, certain It- Is that the bird is being mlrtsed. Its return will be eag erly awaited .by the trainmen and others who had come to regard It with veneration and Its loss, should It not return, will be keenly regretted. Fine Service at Ninth Avenue Baptist Church. ' A very successful service waa held yesterday afternoon at Ninth Avenue Baptist church, the occasion being ral ly day.
