The arrest of half a dozen boys
last y eek by one of our citizens for
stealing grapes, has put stop to
that kind of crookedness for this
season, we imagine.
DoN'T delay your arrangement for
lighting house-fres. The chances
are that doctor bills will more than
cover the cost of fuel, to say nothing
of more serious risk.
THosE having three-cent stamps
on hand Monday were out in ac-
cordance with the number held. No
swearing was heard, so there could
