Some effective work was done yester-
day on Washington avenue and several 9TH
er streets in the way of leveling the hillocks
and filling up the cavities which were

will be in as good condition as they were

Some sleek, slippery tongued drum
mer has been fattering the innocent

people of the burg in blissful state of
hoped for future greatness.

anything and anywhere in civilized coun-
try.
The memorial services held in the
Methodist church in this city last Sunday

vices appropriate to the occasion and the
place. Rev. Scarrett delivered sermon
eulogistic of the honored dead and af-
terward read short funeral address which

The school at Commercial Point in

the case in several localities. "An ounce of
prevention is better than pound of cure"
In times of general danger in the day of
tramps and drummers and steamboat roust-
abouts, no one is entirely safe against a
contagious disease mot even school chill
