needs amendment, or new one.alto-
eether. The boundaries Of the cor
poration ought to be extended until
it takes in all the suburbs. The
streets need to be graded and paved.
Wand street must be graded to a
level with Main street. The streets
that run to the creek, and have been
closed up so long and used for private
purposes, should be openedup to the
public Better drainage should be
given the town. One or two new
streets should be made, now while
land is cheap. This will have to be
done sooner or later, and it can be
accomplished at less cost now than a
few years off. There are many other
things that need atten lion, which we
shall note at some other time. Now
you can see the Importance of this
election, and we hope every voter
will take that interest in the coming
election that will insure the election
Of good men to Office whose duty it
will be to govern this town. The
present council have done well, and
we have no complaint to make
against them other than their fail
ure to complete the wharf. But then
they had many things to contend
with, and have been hampered and
threatened by few, at every step
they took toward public improve
ment, and if they have not accom-
plishcd as much as was expected of
them, they are not to blame. We
would have no objection to their re
election as q body,
MAJ. N. H. HoTcHKIss.-A short
time ago the Richmond (Va.) Dis.
qatch, suggested that big stocking
be hung up for the benefit of Major
Hotchkiss, and filed with gold eagles.
This suggestion was seconded By
the Dansyille On. " Advertiser, and
called for the stocking and eagle,
which was promptly forwarded by
the Dispatch, The AdseHiser ack-
nowledged its receipt, and announ-
cd+he Richmond bird mated. Since
then then the eagles have been fly
ing into that stocking with rapidly,
and more are on their way. The ed
itors Of the Maysville (Ky) Bulletin
n few days ago forwarded ten gold
eagles to be placed in that stocking;
and'we hear that eight have gone
forward from Gallipolis, Ohio. The
Major is deserving of this gift from
his friends. If we can raise an eagle
We will send it of on fleet wings di.
rect to that stocking where SO many
birds Of this specie are now roosling
lfany of the Majors friends in this
place feel disposed to help fill that
stocking with gold eagles, we will
receive and forward them to Bro.
Bdnnell Of the Advertiser, who will
see that they go direct to the stock
Ing, and will acknowledge the re-
'cript Of the birds. Come, now, and
help do nice thing for the Major
10 him our business men owe a debt
OF gratitude, and such kindly tok-
en- from his friends, will be one of
lasting remembrance to him. He.is
getting old now, and soon he will
have to retire from active life, and
Then these eagles futtering around
nm may help smooth his pathway
IN his declining years. Our prayer
Is that the stocking may be filed to
overlooking with gold eagles.
lNoS.-We are told that the hills
adjoining town are rich in iron ore,
and that if the lands can be- leased
Or purchased from the owners, a blast
furnace will at once be erected. If
