c. f. Rigley, the efficient Sec'y Of

We rote with great pleasure that
the attention of the Common Coun-
Gil has been called to the decidedly
annoying practice, that some Owos-
soites have, of throwing coal ashes
and other rubbish into the public
streets. This practice last winter
was very costly as well as trouble
some. The appearance of our streets
is decidedly injured by these insight
ly piles of coal and other ashes,
broken glass, crockery and other
nuisances that are placed in the
streets by some of our best citizens.
There is no excuse for those who
thus willfully, week after week, go
OH throwing refuse into the streets.

their stay. Mr.. A. is brother of N.
B. Aiken. Of Caledonia. The TINES
will go to him next year.
Nine pounds and nine ounces is the
weight OF N. b. Aiken's new boy

street lamps, and there does not yet
seem to be enough to serve the inter
ests Of the people. 1t is to hoped
the Council will give this matter the
attention it merits. The outposts
ought not to be overlooked.
There is an amount OF petty thiev-
ing going on about this county that
demands the active attention of our
officers. From the bungling opera
tons that have been noted there can
hardly be doubt that the mischief
is being done by raw recruits, proba.
