We respectfully suggest to the Council
the propriety of providing for public
meeting on the occasion of the inaugura-
tion of their successors, to which the ladies
of the town especially shall be invited.
With two or three speeches and music by

occasion. The meeting could be held at
night, and if the Council are not disposed
to take the matter in hand. what say the

The present Town Council are engaged in
a very sensible and important work on our
streets. The old bridges across drains,
which have been n continual expense and
Inconvenience by wearing out and break
ing down, are being replaced bys substantial
and neat stone culverts which, when once
put in, are there forever. In addition to
this the sidewalks are being c.eansed from
one end of the town to the other, and best
of all there is plenty of money in the
treasury.
We publish this week the rules and regu-
lations which governed our primary elec-

compare these with the new rules to be
adopted, so as to carry out the majority in
stead of plurality plan of nominating, will
do we'll to preserve this paper or cut out
these rules and lay them aside. We pub

the Executive Committee may consider the
changes necessary in order that their action

over by every one of the Committee.
A meeting of the Anderson Democratic
Club is called for Saturday evening of next
week for the purpose of nominating ticket

Council have been in Office for two years,
and have managed the affairs of the town
with great ability and prudence, and could

given them. Whoever are nominated by
the Club will be elected, and it is therefore
of the greatest importance to the town that
