Our Sidewalks.

Referring to q recent visit to Monroe
IN very complimentary terms Of the
energy displayed in the erection of fine
new brick buildings, the editor Of the
Columbia Herald has the following to
say Of our sidewalks, which we CONF
mend to the notice of the City Coucil !:
In one thing however the city il
lacking: Whilst 6ne buildings are
going up, aud the streets generally are
in good repair, her sidewalks are in q
dilapidated condition. The sidewalkes
on Grand street particularly are very
broken, and that on the side next the
river is in some places really dangerous.
The energetic mayor and town council
would do we'll, while improving the
city In other particulars, not to forget
the sidewalks. Good sidewalks are GER
tain to enhance the value of property
IN any town by making it more attrac-
tive to visitors and more agreeable to
residents.

Sunday afternoon, about two O'Clock,
the fire bells rang out the alarm of fire.
Members of the Fire and OF the Hook
and Ladder companies responded
promptly to the summons. 1t was
found that the steamer Bastrop de-
scending the river from the Bartholo-
NEW was on fire. The boat was landed
ut the foot of Grammont street, and all
possible aid given, but the fire, mean
while, had been kept under. Burning
bales of cotton and sacks of cotton seed
had been heaved overheard, and
officers, crew and others had not been
idle. The boat was safely landed and
the fire extinguished. About 20 bales
of cotton and number Of sacks of cot.
ton seed were damaged. The BastroE
went down few hours afterward
having made very narrow escape
from total destruction. The origin O
the fire is not known.

stated, to Mr.. w. HI. Baker to whom
Parker addressed his letter telling
where the horse was left, but to Mr..

A prominent citizen Of Austin, says
the. Reveille, took it into his head to
rise early the other morning and take
some healthful exercise before break
fast time. When he got TO the first
saloon he concluded TO go in and take
a cocktail; a man needed some little
stimulant when he broke over old hab-
its and got up so early. Just n cock
tail, and not another drop before break
fast. When he got inside the saloon
two men were engaged in an argument
on the Eastern question, in which he
became so interested that he forgot all
about his walk until it was time to go
home to breakfast, and every time one
or the other of the disputants would
get the best of the argument, he would
''treat the house, When the citizen
got home the breakfast was cold, his
legs unsteady and his voice thick, and
he spoke to his wife with a Russian ac-
cent. When she asked him how he en-
joyed his walk, and If he didn't know
that breakfast was cold, and what made
him look and act so queerly, he said:
"Bin gagged in n nanimated scushion er
Rooshin war and tookerneXtracocktail-
ertwo." His wife was surprised at the
facility with which he had learned 4
foreign language, but expressed her.
self in effect that early rising and walks
before breakfast were not rs conclusive
to health as lying in bed till breakfast
was ready.

THE COUNTY PRINTING.

Lie JOuEnHl says W0 Have uIdWll
from the county ''nearly or quite six
hundred dollars for printing during
the two years previous to the present. -
We have drawn little over $500 from
the county in the three years previous
to this year, or less than $17Oa year.
While the Ring men have each been
drawing annually from the county sums
ranging from 5000 to $1,000 or more,
they are lauded to the skies by the
Journal, while we, for drawing $40 a
year for printing, 4 good portion of
which was done at half rates, are at
tackled by that infamous sheet.
But the funniest claim Of all is that
the Journal has saved the county what
zee saved it by doing work at low rates.
We appeal to the County Commission
ers to bear us out In the statement that
the Journals bid on the Annual State
nent and the Delinquent Tax List, was
from too to three times larger than ours.
Wo to the pockets and to the best in
terests Of the people of Mobiles county,
il ever our affairs should fall exclusive
]y into the hands of the little Ring of
Wortllington otfice-seekers who started
the Journal to perpetuate their power.
The farmers may possibly he deceived
into supporting them again, for if it
were possible they would deceive the
very elect, but we believe the people of
this county have their eyes wide open
and will be heard from i'll due time.
