Hands were engaged, yesterday, in the
work of cleaning out the Fourth street
sewer. The sewer contained an immense
accumulation of vile odored filth, that was
not removed whit too soon. Work in the
same line should be continued until every
noxous deposit of the kind has been re-
moved
In squirt Of extravagnce that will
scarcely be sanctioned by the commission
ers, somebody has displaced the rags at the
court house windows by fifty cent muslin |
curtains. We propose to see, when the
proper time comes, if the peoples money
can be thus squandered to preserve our
county officials compilations.
The appointment of Col. Bob Lowery
as special agent in the work offorwardingthe
temperance movement in the adjoining
congressional district, is certainly an APP
| pointment fit to be made. The Colonel is

Mr.. NJ. Z. McCammon has purchased
the Charley Gayer meat stand on Washing
ton avenue, three doors below Tenth, and

Fourth ward stand. At both places the
very choicest meats that can be found |

generous patronage by deserving it,
