For the use Of gas, we are informed
our citizens pay nearly three times as
much Rs Tor carbon oil. Why ia this dr.
ference so great? We are aware that gas
cannot be manufactured in any city al as
cheap rates as oil can be purchased. but

their receipts will enlarge, for their are
many who do not use 1t now that will II

having been arrested for inloxiCalion
here, gave his name us John Baker,

young man, working in the Nail mill of

on the piano this winter, and we sincerely
wish her success.

TITS an i'll wind that blows nobody any
good" is an old and trite saying. And
although. hard times have become a CON-
mon term in almost all manufacturing
cities, our manufactures seem to stand on
firm basis. The BellairO Nail Mill 10
day, is doing larger business we under
stand than for some time previous.
