A number of persons are putting down
new sidewalks at present, and in a short
time our city will be entirely paved. We
would suggest to our city fathers not to
Cypress the poor property holder in fore
ing him to make this improvement, es-
pecially when his home is on some of our
back streets and not much used by pc
destrians. 1t is not just to do SO.
"Got any kids 2" the census man said

A young man from Texas married a

there earning money enough to send for
her. She said, however, that she would
rather accompany him afoot. Theythere-
fore made the journey OF 1000 miles as
tramps; but their good appearance gain
ed for them considerable help along the
way, and for the last fifty miles they rode
triumphantly in a carriage, provided by
an enthusiastic admirer Of their pluck.

James Mcdaniel and William McDan-
iel, who reside with their parents near
Muttonville, in this county, came to Ea-
ton on Saturday last to see the sight.
They dropped into Joe Woerner's cloth

stuck to them when they left it. They
next visited Sturm's and took a fancy to
a pair of gloves, but were detected in
purloining them. They were taken be-
fore the Mayor who fined each $40 and
costs and committed them until the
amount was liquidated, which was done
by Sunday evening.

and tramps at home-know enough about
human nature to take advantage of the
excitement to ply their vocation. It is

careful to guard their houses and prop
erty from the approach of thieves, and
their pockets from the depredations of
pickpockets, as well as themselves from
the plans that will be presented to swim
die them out oftheir money by some con-

Go to Sturm's for cheap goods.
The colored campmeeting in operation
here for two weeks, closed last Sabbath
night. About five thousand people were
in attendance during the Last day. and
in a pecuniary point was a grand success,
the gate money alone footing up over
