Timber men are profiting from the overflow by employing all the help they t can, to get out logs that could not be reached before for many years some say as far back as 1 8GT. It is cypres they are getting principally, which is now commanding a fairly good price. Mr. V. R.

In regard to the matter we have had -ome coirespond- ence with our reprepivsentatives and the! oltice of the supervising architect, the only outcome of which were a !'..-w small uncertain assurances that show no indi cation to materialize to anything sul- stantial. In view of the grow tli of our city, the yearly expansion of its business and a large attendant increase in the business ot the Post-o like here, a Public Building is conceded by all now to be an absolute necessity.

On behalf of our people ami in the in terest of this city and section 1 am eon strained to ask you to give us the force of your persuasive argument and influence in furtherance of the construction of the Public Building at Xew Berne, We know full " e'.l we. have a poweiful Vulcan .at the forge, and will rest satis fied if we shall be so fortunate as to enlist your sturdy co-operation m thi- matter that seems to reqiure constant and heavy hammering.
