left in front OF some Of our stores At
night, and badly damage them" The
merchants had better look after their
plow.stocks--it would be pity to have
them damaged in this manner.
Winchester is still afflicted with
measles, but, thanks to the attention Of
our physicians, we have had no deaths.
AS we have often said, we say again,
and intend to repeat it every time an
opportunity affords, that no community
is blessed with better class Of physi-
clans than Winchester. And, besides
being excellent physicians, they are the
NEST perfect gentlemen, socially, moral
ly and otherwise, that ever lived.
So far all weather signs have failed
this year, and we don't want Spring to
come any more unless she brings her
baggage. We have had severe winter
weather Grain, snow and slcet nearly
every day since our last, the mercury
at one time dropping to 50 below frccz-
ing. At this writing (Tuesday) the
weather is II little spring-like, but we
fear it will not last long. We hope to
announce, by May lst, that winter has
had its old rheumatic anatomy summa-
riIy bounced from the luscious lap OF
Spring.
Every now and then movement is
made to establish park, or something
Of that sort, in Winchester. We sug-
gcst that we should Ego the whole hog
or none" In addition to the park let
us have street-lamp5 around the square
and ON all the streets at night gas
works watcr-works; fire engines san
i;ary regulations brass bands, and cv-
erything cIsc that is lovel y street
sprinkIers; a company Of mounted po-
lice, and even require the Mayor to
wear uniform. What's the use to be
city unless We have city ways :?
Them's our sentiments, and "wc are not
bought up" in this matter, either.
