THE NEW DjjiPOT
Soxf On tlie Road to Completion A
Orvnt Improvement of Aecommo
(jHiion-Cliaiises to Be Made Tliere
nbo'nt Tlie Dimensions of tbe
Thb ne Bew passenger depot
is not as large as some had expected
it to be, still there will be a great
jmprovtment oyer - the service rens
dered in the past. Ere many
months, if the statements of the su
perintendent of that part of the
work are upheld, Concord will
Ecarcely look like herself at the de
pot. The new passenger depot build
ing is now up and almost . at this
time covered. The building is 70
feet and 2 inches long and 21 feet
and 2 inches wide. 4In each end of
tte building is a waiting room
measuring 21 by 29 feet. Between
these two rooms there is an apart
ment 10 by 21 feet intended for the
ticket agent and telegraph opera
tors. As to whether the telegraph
operators will occupy this place, it
is not yet fully decided. On the
eide next to the railroad, at the
middle of. the building, is a bay
window for the operator, in order
that he may see approaching trains
from cither direction.
The roof, which is covered with
slate, projects far over the edge,
forming a nice shelter during rain
and giving shade in the summer
time. ' "
Besides the constructing of this
depot, quite a number of improve
ments and changes are to be made.
It is the purpose of the superin
tendent to put a cement pavement
around the depot, and to have the
yard enclosed, except on the flide
next to the rails, by an iron fence.
The timbers haye already been
placed near the rails to hold a walk
of 400 feet in length.
Tee water tank, now standing
near the bridge, will be torn down,
and already have the foundations
been built for two stand-pipes one
for engines going in each direction.
lne Bide track between tne new
station and tne main line will be
torn away, so that there will be no
track to cross to get upon the cars.
A baggage room is yet to be built,
-tco, below the passenger depot ntxt
to the Cannon mills.. There will be
a considerable change in the eide
tracks thereabout, aod as Superin
tendent Dcdaon said, "before h9
gets through here the large bank on
the ether side near the water tack
il! h2 tern away."

REMARKS.
The conditions of being on the
honor roll is that the child must
cot be below 90 in any study and
must not be absent nor, tardy any
during the month. This may seem
lise a high standard. Bat, there
is no honor in doing what anybody
cAn do After a while the children
will come ud to the ntandard. More
regular attendance will help much.
There will be one week of vacation
for holiday?. C. Coler,

the Democratic vote was reached
when Governor Fowle in 1888 re

than that, or 177,000. There is
nothing like waiting for the figures.
