great needs OF BellaiFe is a savings bank.
We have a large class Of young men thai
earn good wages that have no homes
among Us except such as are afforded AZ
the boarding houses, and who seek such
amusemenrs as are the most readily Of
Tered, and spend their earnings in way
that does no good to them, but rather an
injury. AT any time when sickness or
accident or other untOward circumstance
oyertake them, they are in consequence Of
their reckIessness at the mercy Of the be.
neyolent. A place where q portion OF
their earnings could be safely deposited
for future use would greatly benefit that
class, besides all others. A concern Of
that kind founded on a sale basis, such Us
United States bonds deposited or real
estate seauestered 70 secure depOsitors,
would do q splendid business here. But
our people would need TO be assured that
everything was on safe basis before they
would patroui1e it. Its hoped that our
public spirited citizens will move in this
matter successfully.
Another Of the great needs Of our town
is q Public Library and reading room, .
warm comfortable reading room well
supplied with the current reading matter
oft6e day would be largely patronizedr and
would take away every prete1t for spend
ing time foolishly by our young people.
There is class OF our young folks who are
literally starving fol. greater educational
facilities such a. would be benehtting
their conditions and commensurate with
their great needs. No city or community
can afford TO have grow up in their
midst an ignorant class, and il but q
little Of the money that Is wasted by in
dividuals or municipal authorities were
used to spread light where darkness now
prevails, it would be like the bread cast
upon tho waters, "Feturn alter many
days" in manifold clearings to all.
Since the thaw our pavemGnts have
been lifted In many places to repair the
hydrants demolished by the frost. The
soil Of the principal part Of our town Is
not rs liable TO freeze as deep az more
grayelly soil, and hence the frost has not
penetrated as deep as might have been
expected except in more exposed Situa-
tons,
Yesterday was one Of the days "yOu
read about" Rain, snow, blow, with
sluShy paths and roads, It was about as
disagreeable as Is generally made or seen.
The business ofthe place is looking up
and active preparations are making in
all directions for extended operations
when the spring fairly opens, The pres
ent condition Of the country roads are
such as to almost preclude the presence
Of the farmers among ia, but we hope the
improvement Of the thorOughiares will
improve trade materially.
Mr. Herman RoCmeF deserves mention
as one Of the frst class merchants OF our
city. From small beginnings he has by
assidu0us attention 10 business built upa
business that Is a credit 10 him. lie has
built him a fine store room that wonld
adorn any city, which ho has filled with
just such stock as pleascs and suits n
large list Of patrons. Mr.. ROemer Is n
deservedly successful merchant, and VIC
hope that his day "nlay bc long among
u.s.
The boys Of the National Glass Works
have resumed work again. They have
established the fact that they are useful
although they did not accomplish any
thing they started out 10. Barring this
little episode, the National Glass Works
have gotten along splendidly. THE man
agemGnt Is good, and they are o success
financially. DisbuFsing as they do $4,000
or $1,000 monthly among the workmen
their stoppage Is seriously felt by all
classes.
Several projects arc on the tapis fOr
building glass works. One Is to be Gs
pecially for the manufacture of bottle
ware. What the result will be Is hard tC
tell, but parties interested seem hopeful
The health Of the town continues to b.
excellent. But few deaths have occurred
and they were resultant from old chronic
complaints principally, and the few cases
Of sickness are the kind incident to the
changes Of the weather.
Our worthy City Marshal, N. II
ROwles, has 40 far recovered as to be abb
to be on the streets again and greet hi
many friends. lie Is still unable to rs
sumo the duties Of his office, and look
rather bleached from his long cOnfinc
ment, but he Is rapidly recovering, AM
we hope TO see him regain his norma
activity and usefulness. His place hal
been worthily filled by Mr.. VIM. Drugat
during his confinement. Mr.. Drugan Il
also our Township Constable.
Public items are scarce, and there i
nothing Of general interest to report.
The spelling school held in the schoo
hall on Friday evening was a success n

minntion OF those participating to cnjo,

pecially among the Young folks that vert
