Hell Oh Earth.

The New York Sun thinks that hell is
exciting a good deal of interest at the
present time. The Methodists are dis
cussing It's horrors, and a wonderful re-
port comes from Belgium to the effect
that hell has broken loose in that indus>
trious little kingdom and deluged the
country with fire and lava. A assure in
Arkansas is said to be vomiting forth
blue 6a",es and birthstone, and the Cleve
land Herald tells of noun ain, three
miles from Bainbridge, Ross county, 4 hio,
which issues constant stream of smoke,
while on its summit and general surface
the Vegetation las withsred AMI died, as
if blasted by a whirlwind of fire Re-
ligious people in that vicinity declare
that the genuine oldFashiuned bell is
about to reveal itself to an un5eleving
word

At the last meeting of the Board Of
Mayor aud Aldermen r. S Hardy, J. w
Tate and L. B. Adams, were appointed a
committee to estimate the cost Of street
lamps and to report at the next meeting
of the Board. This is decidedly a step
in the right direction, ard there can be
no doubt but what our city Fathers will
receive the grateful thanks of this entire
community if they will take a few more
"steps" and give us light at least around
the square and TO the depot Bolivar is a
place Of too much Importance to be left
in total darkness Just because tn, sum

every twenty A t all events, let US
place lamps around the square as a
starter"

which produce epidemic and other diseases! None
whatever. There is no safety save in artificial re.
