 Mention was made in your last issue of Charley" and considerable inquiry has been made as to his identity. People want to know who Charley is. It was at first thought that it was Charley" |. But another Charley" "got right up on his ear," and said that he was the happy man. He says he has written something, and has been showing it around. He says he can "a tale unfold" His best friends think he had better keep atJolded, It is safer.

 Two more street lamps have been lighted since your last issue-one by H. D. Curtiss Esq, near the line of up- town, the other by Mir. Edward Curtiss, near the Soldiers Monument. No thanks 10 the Village Improvement Society. Nothing but first-class earthquake can arouse that torpid concern into healthy action. Meanwhile we hope to see the line of lights extending north and south, through the careful attention of our people.

 Mir. Floyd F. Hitchcock still runs his successful hardware store and tin manufacturing business, in the "Hol- low.n He is another of those men who have made themselves what they are by strict integrity, industry, and careful at tention to business.
