New Street Needed.

A New Street Needed,
There ought to be street from the
Market to Caldwell Street in front OF
Mr.. E. S. Coppock's residence. It
would be great convenience to many
of the residents of that portion of Town
known as Brooklyn. Steps were be-
gun few years ago for opening such 4
street, but the matter fell through from
some cause or other. Can't the thing
he revived and put through?

SDortsmen's Club.

Sportsmen's Club.
Steps are being taken to organize a
sportsman's club in this County, the OBJ
ject being to see that the game laws
are obeyed and their violation punished,
and to secure better laws for the pres
erva;ion Of game. No individual cares
to report another for killing game out
Of season, and the consequence IS that
birds nests are broken up and game is
killed in violation of law with impunl-
ty. An organization such IS the one
contemplated would put Il stop to this
reckless destruction Of game. for its
members would feel it their duty to re-
port all violations of law and see that
the law is obeyed.
The recent amendment to the Game
Law does not suit this section Of the
State. The former law permitted the
killing Of birds between the 10Th of Oc-
tober and the 18th Of April; but the
amendment changes the time and makes
it from the 10Th Of September to the
18th of March. The 10Th Of Septem-
ber is too early for hunting in this Sec
ton Of the State; at that season young
partridges are not more than half
grown, and a real good sportsman takes
no pleasure in hunting them-tlley are
too easily killed. If this law should re-
main in force many years the birds
would be almost entirely extermlnated,
Then the 18th of March is too early for
the hunting season to close. If the
same season for hunting does not suit
for al sections of the State the seasons
might be different for different locali-
ties.
There will be meeting at the Fair
Grounds the 9TH Of October OF those who
desire to form Sportsmen's Club, and
I'll lovers of the sport are invited to
Join.

Useful.

USeFu!.
A view from the back door of Messrs.
Foot & Sons Grocery Department gives
pleasing Evidence that that live firm
has not been idle during the long hot
summer, even though the Junior has
been tripping it of occasionally and but
recently has committed matrimony. In
addition to the wareroom for heavy ar
ticles lately erected, they are now put
ting up a convenient and comfortable
building for the accommodation of such
of their country friends who remain IN
town over night. The building is OF
brick and of sufficient size to accommo-
date quite number, besides they will
furnish good stable room for horses,
The public will appreciate this enter
prise, and we give them praise for it.

Nearly 100000 in dividends has al
ready been declared by our local mon

was the third to fall into line, the di-
rectory declaring a dividend of q per
cent on It's capital stock yesterday,
payable on and after the 10Th inst,
making in all S18, 500 to be dealt out to.
its shareholders. This was better
than had been expected, as current
rumor had spread that the gas COM

its last six months earnings after pay
