In the city nominations party lines are
utterly ignored, the best men being pro
ierrcd. Both parties in the town and town
ship have good men in the field, and no
great loss will be sustained by the public
Il either DO elected. This day week will
be lively day for candidates at least.
Our Irish fellow citizens, feeling dis
satisfied with the nominations, have held
4 meeting and resolved to take NO partin
tho spring election. This action has
caused some auttering in political circles,
as that class Of citizens arc largely repre-.
sented here.
Easter Sunday having passed without
storm, we can, according to the old
legend, look for fine weather for seven
Sundays more. Having passed from the
maligh influence Of the ground hog, II Is
meet that we now pass under the benef-
Cient influences OF Easter. Our weather
experiences have been in the past few
days varied indeed. One day We feel the
"icy fangs and churlish chiding Of tho
wintry winds, " the next "the balmy breath
Of soft ethereal spring. To-day Monday
Is all that could be desired OF the latter
class. The roads are rapidly drying up,
the streets and sidewalks are getting in
condition that is endurable, and a few
more days such as this will make us all
feel comfortable and at home again.
Rev. HodgsOn preached his first sermon
at the Methodist Church yesterday (Sun-
day. morning, He bids fair to DO an &C.
coptable preacher to this charge, and the
frst impressions with regard TO him are
favorable.
Rev. Rodgers will be in town this
week, and will speak at the Ladies' Tenn
perance League meeting on Friday even.
Ing at the Disciples Church. Other
speakers will be there, All are cordially
invited.
The approach Of moving day Is caus.
ing buslling and anxious time among
the housewives 80 unfortunate az TO DO
necesSitated to move. A large influx Of
people Is filling every tenement to let In
the city. Thegeneral desire IL for cheap
or and more comfortable houses, The
great want OF our town IL one hundred
houses Of from three to FIVE rooms each,
with hydrant, &c, which would rent
readily to tenants who would pay, Of
rates that would repay a handsome profit.
Among the many excellent business
firms Of our city, that Of Taylor 4 Arm.
strong, dealers In dry goods, ranks A No.
]. They have perhaps the largest stock
in the city, and their business tact and
pleasant manners are securing large
trade.
A new firm in the dry goods line has
appeared among us, styled Gardiner 4
Son, located on Belmont street, that
gives promise Of being an accession to
our business community to be desired.
II Is rather discouraging time to start
new enterprises OF this kind, but the
growth Of our city juSides the hope that
Il will do we'll.
The general business OF the town Is i'm.
proving "a the weather gets better, and
The general impression is that we are en-
iering upon prosperous business season.
The McConnellsyille Railroad Is still
attracting large share Of attention from
BUR citizens. The immense advantages
Ibis road offers TO all concerned are be.
ginning TO be largely appreciated, and the
most strenuous exertiOns will be made 10
make II an accomplished fact. L.
