in the land, and as the venerable head OF
the house crawls from his leeward position
and sits on the ash barrel to view that
carpet, his soul full of wrath, his brow
heavy with Precipitation, his clothes ruined
with dirt, and his nostrils, ears and throat
crammed with profanity and dust. he men

see how the women get all the dirt into
the house anyhow, and mentally vows 10

CLEAN Up.-The twenty days notice
given to owners and occupants of property
within the village limits in which to clean
up their premises, will expire next week,
and US there is but short time in which to
attend to this important measure, it be-
hooves all who have neglected to have the
matter attended to, to do so ut once, as il
not done by the 18th, next Wednesday, the
board of health will be compelled to make
complaint, then the work will be done by
the city. The board of health have no al

as the law imposes heavy penalties for any
neglect.
The Ladies' Aid society of All Saints
Parish" have just completed their organi.
zaticn for the summer by the election of
the following officers: Mrs. d. r Suther
land, pre- ident; Mrs. F. B. Kenner, vice
president; Miss Pierson, secretary; Mrs. J.
D. Good, treasurer. They will hold one
of their popular sociables at the residence

tcrnoon and evening. Refreshments will

ment. and to social pleasantly. All
friends of the parish are cordially invited

BAND.-Our cornet band is busy re-
hearsing and preparing for the summer
months. The organization has been weak
ened by the absence of II number of the
old members, but their places have been in
part supplied and the organization starts
out thus early in the season with nine
pieces. The advancement of liberal
support to this organization is something
that should be done by our citizens, as a
brass band is an acquisition TO any village,
and during last summer the Saturday even
ing concerts were enjoyed by all and fur
nished no small degree of entertainment
for our people We trust some such ar
rangcment may be made this year, with
more satisfactory results to the band, and
if properly taken hold of there is no ques-
ton but it could be accomplished.
A man suffering from an attack of pneu.
monia was brought into town from the
Jay farm, distance of several miles, in a
lumber wagon, by a kind heartei(?) EN-.
ployer, who Was evidently anxious to have
the sick man put upon the county to be
cared for. The party who brought him in,
evidently ashamed of his little less than
brutality, was finally induced to take the
fellow back again 1t will be a miracle il
the man RECEIVERS after the exposure to the
cold wind and the torturcs of an eight
mile drive over a rough road. Should any
serious results ensue, we think that such
criminal inhumanity and dog gone mean
ness should be punished; and those who
refused to shelter the man, although guar
anteed pay for their services, should be
ashamed of their hard heartcdness.
SUGGEsTIoN.-We would suggest to the
members of the several congregations who
have church editices in our village, tina,
month to nave shade trees planted around
the buildings and lots. There would be
little or no expense if each member oil
the various congregations appointed them
selves us a committee of one and planted
one or more trees. This could easily b.
done and should receive attention at once
as, if this important matter is delayed now
a year will elapes ere the work can bt
done, and much valuable time will thus ht
Lust. The school house and court hous.
squares should also be planted with tree
this spring, the work can be done OF
all now as we'll as later, and we trust to Sc,
steps taken to improve and adorn thes'
classes of the peoples property.
