The stars and stripes were toasted until some of the guests saw more stars than they could count, yet there were those among them who foretold the present stats of affairs with prophetic wisdom. Truly a twelve-month has wrought wonderful changes, which we hope and believe will lead to glorious results.

On motion, the Chairman appointed a committee of ten persons to draft resolutions for the consideration of the meeting, as follows: Colonel J. H Dillard, Dr. T. W. Keen, Dr. W. J.

The people upon the line of the route are anxious for the completion of the last link of this important national line. They are a thrifty and intelligent people.
