The Fourth of July.

The suggestion of the Journal that, should the harrow gauge railroad be rompleted to this city by ths Fourth of July (an event scarcely admitting of a doubt) the people of Delphi and Carroll county unite in a monster demonstration, is heartily seconded by the Times. The completion of this road will mark an era in the history of this city and county Which will long be remembered. From that day and hour our prosperity will be assured, and our progress become rapii and steady, and nothing could be more appropriate than that the event be celebrated by a demonstration commensurate with our increased opportunities for competing with cities which in the past have seized upon tha opportunities we neglected, and flourished upon an enterprise which we failed to exhibit. — Delphi Times.
