HAsour market house project become
something of the past mere ehimera
of the brain, which was specuiated over
and talked of for transient period, and
then laid aside and forgotten? Wetrust
not We do not expect the market
house contemporaneous with our wishes
We can undoubtedly wait until prudent
measures be taken; but we must not let
the subject die. It affects US too nearly
for that. But what we wish to know is why
is itthere are no steps taken towards TINS
matter? Why is there nothing done
to forward the project. We have proven
the necessity and absolute advantages OF
a market house in our city. We have
shown the pecuniary cost for It's con,
struction and we have already illustrated
the only obstacle which, in itself is very
slight, presenting itself to any party or
parties wishing to use the public square
for its erection. We have also shown
the remuneration which may be ex-
pected from this affair, and which VIII
undoubtedly be immense. we can use
no better word to express our idea. Now
we want a revival of this momen tous
subject; none better can occupy the
minds of our citizens. We want 1t anal
wed and examined, carefully studied and
meditated on seriously. 1t will not be
time misspent, There is not, we venture
to assert, a citizen in this place who is
downright opposed to the building OF a
market in our city, whether erected
ut the city's or private individuals ex-
pense. We hear it said that the
CITY cannot afford it; that it is already
mourning expenses larger then is conSls-
tent with the condition of its "pocket
book" Well, we will acknowledge our
community is not wealthy onei but,
notwithstanding, they have to live, ana
that makes it all the more necessary Tor
a market house, rs then produce Will be
cheaper. Let bonds be issued by the
city for the purpose of building market
house, or if that will not do, the
CITY can borrow the money and
we feel assured that not much time will
be required after the market house Is IN
successful opcration-to pay all interest
that may accrue, AS well rs the prlnci-
pal of money borrowed. We are not II
bit too sanguine in this affair, we have
carefully weighed everything appertain-
ing to this project, and we have present.
ed Il fairly and squarely before the pub
T.. Il, l,,t, ~
may be IN advantage, but ut least
giye.it what it demands and requires
close examination into the consistency or
inconsistency It's the case may be, of this
movement. We will now turn the mat
ter into the hands Of our City Council.
1t deserves their attention-nay, it de-
mands it. If they are assured that such
IL movement cannot be advantageouSly
carried into execution, we should be
pleased to learn the reason why. Let
Jeremiah the prophet and auburn
speak.
SEVERAL parties left our city yestcr-
day for camp meeting at Burr's Mills,
and many others are making prcpara-
tons to do the same rs soon rs possible.
We trust their object is good one.
They should do ms we intend doing, 90
and hear one of the longest sermons poss-
iblc sitting in the "sun shade" mean-
while thinking of everything good Ito
cat.) Eating some, then listen to an
other sermon, and then coming home
morally better.
What a lamentable fact and how forcibly
it strikes us that on and just after pay
day of some Of our institutions, the APP
pearance of some Ofthe young men would
give one the impression that they had
looked upon the wine when it was red or
handled soda water, regardless Of the
danger of SO doing. Young men, is this
true.
WHERE is our street railway? You
see we want to keep these things before tho
ewes ofthcpublic. Now where is that street
railroad; We would like to know, because
the constitution and license have been
defeated, that is no reason our street
railway should fail, we need it badly.
Every citizen sees that clearly, and now
what must be done? why just take stock
in that company and help the thing
along. 1t will pay the stock holders rs
any other institution of the same KIM
under the sun. We will youch for this.
ANOTHER contributor pays in ~ and
for getting drunk yesterday.
The first letter of his name is j. w. Dur
kin.
THE SHE'LL goes ringing for Sarah" just
ms that bell you hear on our streets goes
ringing for auction. Nevertheless we
do love music, and between that bell and
the beautiful strains Of that horn, we are
filled up. We have sent on for q bell
and horn just like those.
MEETING will be held in the Christian
church each evening this week, the scrvi-
ccs being conducted by Elder Spencer.
IL regard to the very unsatisfactory
game of ball between our boys and the
the standards of Wheeling last Satur-
day, the umpire of said game, says, posi-
lively, that he had no intention of being
chosen for that position until about
five minutes before the game
begun and that there was no
chlcancry or put up job about. We
think the better way of deciding satistac-
torilv this elimination and rccrimination
that is going on is to try it again.
THREE hundred barrels Of cement was
shipped by Booth & Son yesterday.
