The first day of we'll known March comes in
with Ill manner Of loneliness and beauty let
US not be cajoled, however, but remember "she
enters like lamb and goes out like lion
few weeks numbered with the past and
the popular mind will be big with spsculations
as to who shall be our |" City Fathers for the
ensuing year. We cannot anticipate this cleo

correspondent to study the interest and social
well being Of the people at large, and to dis
seminate abroad the true and unmistakable
light, regardless of the cavils of such as are

every anti-republican act. That man who

Tered the nonsense of garrulous blockheads to
glide by as a gentle breeze. 1t is this same
error of the motive that actuates the public
press that is now evoking to no small extent
abuse and scandal thereupon. failure to ap.

face. But enough of this. say .l .s...

The major part of the denizens indulge habits
OF parsimony, selfshness, ETC. In a word the

sit back with folded arms, just so long will our
city be tainted with the adjective d" Finished. y
