day the largest vote cast for any Rep

things he mentioned that he had just
completed reading of the Old Testa-
ment of the Bible within the last month.
He had again read it through in a
months time. He remarked, in an
swer to a question, that the book OF
| Daniel was the most interesting to him,

Our neighbor, Mr.. W. G. Power,
clerk of Phillips Bros, in Brady Build.
ing, is one of the most benevolent and
good citizens that has come to ouI
place for long time. He is to be seen
almost every day cleaning the mud
from the stone crossings of the streets
that lead each way from his Office, for
the benefit of all pedestrians passing
over the same. When it is considered
that the cleaned walks are but little
personal convenience to himself we
must ascribe his labors to desire to
promote the comfort of his fellow be-
ings, or, still higher ones sense o.
cleanliness, which is ranked next unto
Goodness.
