ner of North street. After going through the
house generally, and finding nothing that
suited their fancy, they proceeded to the
room of Mr.. Neal, an inmate of the house,
on the second floor, and gaining access into
scattering his clothing promiscuously
around the floor.
They succeeded in capturing his pocket
book with few dollars and some very val
liable papers. They also helped themselves
to couple of his best suits of clothing,
after which the miscreants took their de-
parture for parts unknown, leaving Mr..
Neal in utter ignorance of his misfortune
until he awoke in the morning, and finding
his room in rather disorlered condition,
Investigated the matter, and to his surprise
found that he had been robbed, as he hea I'd
nothing of the thieves while in his room.
In such a ,blic thoroughfare it seems
strange that there was an entire absance of
policemen.
ROBBERY.-LaSt evening the premises

entered by unknown burglars who succeed
ed in getting away with about $40 in green
backs 1t was their intention to apprOpri-
ate all the wearing apparel, but in this they
were foiled, as the clothing was found in a
bundle on the stairway. 1t is supposed that
they became frightened and dropped that
portion of their booty. This is the second
attempt made on these premises lately. Mr.
Garcia is under the impression that chloro-
form was used upon him, as he is unusually

Firemans Festivai.-The FIJI

Firemans Festivai.-The Fire
Company held a festival at the City
Hall last Thursday evening. The
tables were spread most bountifully,
and such world of pies and cakes,
we never saw before. We felt like
looking for our old pie appetite, but
chose the wiser course and made obei-
sence to as fine a dish of oysters as
ever we ate. The attendance was not
so large as the company expected,
though we learn that they Melted some
S25. Some cases of drunkenness and
unseemly conduct were reported, but
they DO not attach to the company as
a body by any means. We are glad
the boys had good time, and think
they may thank Mr.. and Mrs. Smith,
and Mr.. Butler and Mr.. and Mrs.
Brundage for the success attending
the effort.

How Permanent Customers are
Made. If you have never used Sapo-
Ito, the next time you send to your
grocer tell him you want cake; it
will cost you only few cents. Then
look all over your house, and wherever
you find a spot upon the paint, the
furniture, carpets, or anything else,
whether it be dirt, grease, tar, or what
ever else, use Sapolio according to the
simple directions. Then collect all the
tinware, copper ware knives, forks,
kettles. ETC., and polish them up.
When you have done this once then
Enoch Morgan's Sons know positively
that their Sapolio has won another per
manent customer.

Contract let for Repairing the,
Bridge. The committee to whom
was entrusted the letting of the con-
tract for making repairs upon the Wood
Co. Bridge, met at the Court House
last week. We are not knowing as to
the number Of bids put in, but are in
formed that the contract is let Mr..
Clancy for the sum of S3,495 the
amount voted by the Board being ), 500.
The specifications call for thorough
revision Of the work, and putting in
Of arches and much other work that
will strengthen the structure and make
it nearly as strong as new. Mr., Clan
cy is II young man of experience, who
will DO a good work and comply with
the terms Of the contract. or we mis-
take the man. It is question wheth-
er or not the action of the Board or
Committee IS wise in seeking only re-
pairs. 1t seems that it would have
been wise thing to DO, to have build
ed new structure which could have
been done probably for about $1,000.
Still we will not question their wisdom.
The repairs were necessary, absolutely,
and perhaps it were better to wait a
more propitious time. We understand
that the work will commence at once.

Meal & Pray" was the title Of a

members were anything but religiously
inclined. "Robb s Steel" was another
firm in which both members were not
ed for their honorable character-qulte
as much as Wright & Justice" who
were their neighbors. "U. Ketchum
& /. Cheatham" is a well-known old
incongruity; but the marriage of Ben
jamin Bird, aged sixty, to Julia CHAT,
aged twenty, showing that "an old
bird may be caught by chat, :" is not
SO familiar; Dor is the marriage of
George Virtue to Susan Vice. These
collections of familiar names are 'odd''
enough and so it is when we lind IN a
