The drought has burned everything
up. Some parts of the county have
had no rain since the 9th of April.
The excessive heat has added greatly
to the damage.
Council will extend thc sidewalk
up Congress street, between Mr..
Todd's place and DR.. Simpsons. At
present pedestrians arc compelled to
take to the road or the railroad in pas
ing along this point.
The railroad company has erected
a twenty-five thousand gallon tank
nearly opposite Judge Rohtrson's.
and will supply it by means Ola steam
engine and pump from Mr., Crcigh''s
pond OH Aliens branch.
The painting Of the courthouse
has been completed, and the old build
ing looks as neat and bright as a pin.
The work was done by Jcscph Brown,
and reflects great credit upon him and
those working under him.
PENA1ANsIlIp.-Prof. D'IIcrradora,
formerly Of Barcelona, Spain, has been
teaching pcnmanship in the town and
county for some time. He is remark
ably expert, especially in artistic pen
manship, and his method of teaching
appears to be very thorough. He de-
votes greater attention 10 the small
letters than most so-callcd pcnmcn do,
and these, after all, arc more difficult
to manage than capitals. We can conf
mend him to the attention Of those
who wish to become good pcnmcn.
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCu.-Thc
Dino Reading Club and the Ladies'
Sewing Society Of the Presbyterian
church have, by their combined efforts,
paid for the handsome pulpit and
chairs and the handsome chandelier
placed in the church a few months ago.
They will continue their efforts until
they have realized sum sufficient TO
ciiclose tho church yard with an iron
fence. From the amount Of energy
already diplaycd, it can be predicted
that their entire task will be completed
at no distant day. The world and the
churches cannot get along without the
ladies.

ter Ledger of tho 22d inst. says: "Nlr.
