nightly and it was adopted. r. I. Devlin be-
ing called upon delivered stirring address on
the issues OF the campaign. He said that the

WORTH CoNsIDERING.-The Board of
Supervisors yesterday ordered new floor to
be laid in the Pavilion. This has lcng been
needed, but it has always been understood
that when the new floor was laid it would be
so put down as to be elastic enough to make
the hall suitable for dancing, for balls, recep-

laid few inches above the old one, on spring

firm with set screws or by other device when
used for the annual fair, but left to yield
little when used for balls the hall will be
used ten times where it is now once and
would be a much more valuable property.
The matter is being quite generally discussed.
and the Board is to be asked to modify its
ike the present one
