T. F. Cowing's machine shed has been
moved from in front of the American
House to the lots adjoining G. Wilson'S
The removal of the shed improves the ap
pearance of the street immensely.
Since March 18th, or rather since the
new village officers qualified. $35 has been
raked into the treasury from fines. Our
new officers have back bone, and from
President down are determined TO enforce
the laws and ordinances vigorously and i'm
partially.
Scene at public meeting the other even
ing: Chairman, rising to his feet, "do I'M
derstand the motion to be, that the chair
appoint the committed" voice in audience,
"no, the Teller whats standing on his feet
does it," The chairman will use personal
pronouns hereafter
A young lady, pretty stylish and-we'll
never describe her,-found ten cent plug
of tin-tag chewing tobacco on the streets,
last evening, and has requested US to ad
vertise it. If the owner don't get round
soon, there wont be any left The wet
weather, or something else, is shrinking it
up.
Few people who read the papers have
any idea of the time and tronble it takes to
ferret out very small item. An editor
must be always on the alert and although
some Of the paragraphs are dry reading
yet it often requires hours to get points
and facts, which after all the trouble are
told in II dozen words.
The Marshal is after those dogs that are
not licensed, with a shot gun. Owners of
valuable dogs are hereby cautioned TO lose
no time in procuring license, as the Mar
shall must obey orders. We hope the
owners of some of the many worthless
ours that are providing round the streets,
will not see this item
The inclement weather last Saturday
seriously iuterfered with our fair day, as it
prevented many from coming. However,
the day has been established, and on Sat
urday, June 18th, we expect to see the larg
est gathering ever seen in this village. Do
not forget the date, and invite friends and
acquaintances to come to town with you
on that day.
I,a Of odu ;air
proven, but the following instance affords
food for serious reflection. Last week a
gentleman came into the Office and had a
card inserted announcing that he had lost
two colts, and before the paper went to
press the colts were found. Now any man
who says there is no benefits in advertising
had better go, take club, and kill his
shadow.
The Wallace Britton Combination Com
pany played to full houses for three nights
last week. 1t is rarely that company OF
equal merit favors our town with visit,
and we hope to have them stop here on
their return trip. Mrs. Britton, Miss Ever
EFT and Mr.. Theodore made good impress
sion and sustained their parts well, and in.
deed the whole company gave general sat.
isfaction to the large audiences which
nightly greeted them.
We must take occasion to say to the
younger male portion of the community
that their conduct, at the hall, OF the first
night of the play, was certainly not what
we expected Boisterous and unruly con
duct, especially in the presence of ladies, is
to be condemned, and we hope to have no
e occasion to again publicly find fault in thi.
regard. Should this conduct be persisted
r in, it will have the effect of keeping large
/ portion of our citizens, the ladies especial
, iy, away from all gatherings where they
are likely to witness or be annoyed b,
such ungentlemanly conduct.
