A PROPOSITION.

Are there twenty Or more persons
in Winchester who would become
members Of a Reading Room should
we establish such a thing? Efforts
have heretofore been made in this
respect by companies in our town,
but proved unsuccessful. Rooms were
rented, tables and files prepared, and
yet such preparation awaited nothing.
I'VE remember about ten years ago Of
being|employed to keep a reading room
in Winchester, which we did for two
or three months.
Well, now, we propose to establish
a Reading Room in Winchester, far
ahead Of anything Of the kind ever ne
fore attempted. 1t shall contain ten
times morc literature, aud better. Al.
the Magazines Of note shall be in IT,,
and all the principal papers. Daily
pnpere Wit be kept on llit, ana lie
room open every day, from eight in the
morning till ten n! night. and kept in
good CONDITION, so tina. all shall be
comfortable in il. 1t will cost us IL
pretty little sum to fix it up conins ii
faut, but we will Go it if twenty per-
sons will beco ne members for one
year, at $40. You thus secure the
privilege Of reading literature tina,
would cost you otherwise one hundred
dollars or more. Any person who is
willing to become a member, will let
US know within one week, or else the
affair "goes dead"

OUR STREETS.

We have frequently spoken Of the
necessity of fixing the streets in Win
chester before winter set in. But they
have been neglected, and now that
winter is fully upon US, we find it
muddy and sloppy in nearly every
street in the town, after Il rain. There
il no town within our knowledge that
is as susceptible to great improve.

The situation is high, and the water
can be drained of very easily. Now,
,euppose about $3.50 or $500 was spent
Immediately on our streets-what an
improvement it would make The
streets need ~graveling. 1t has been
many years since they were ~graveled,
and unless they are attended to imms.
diately it will cost a great deal more
money in a short time hence. "a
stiteh IN Time will save nine" is a trite
and true saying, and never was more
applicable than in this instance
Will not the authorities see to this
matter forthwith. We believe there
is no Rail Road tax now upon the
people, and for bad streets there can
be no excuse. The side walks ara in
bad fix, too, and owners of property
on them should be made to remedy
the defect.
By.the.way, we have been reques-
