The new town council has had
several meetings in which the inter-
ests of the town are closely looked
after. Arrangements were made to
keep the streets in order during the
summer season. And now if the
council will only rid the streets by
the passage Of strict ordinances, of
the hogs, which constantly infest it,
they will certainly introduce a new
and very desirable order of things
which will be highly appreciated BY
the town citizens, and especially so
BY those who are not, and cannot'be
protected from the hogs, by fences
around their residences. We hope
the council will look closely after the
above nuisance, as they were selected,
aud elected by the citizens as sober
and industrious body who would in
all town matters look after their in-
terests, and we think the above GER
tsinly comes under that head.
We understand that stave and
