The Village Sidewalks.

Editor Register and Journal Those
who have in charge the clearing of snow
from the walks this winter deserve more
than word of thanks from the citizens
of the village generally, and especially
from those who have to walk, paths or
no paths. Sometimes the work has been
well attended to before this, but any one
who has been obliged to go out regard
less of the condition of the walks. the
past two or three winters, will remem-
Der that the snow-plow. if used at all,
would be out anytime from four to eight
hours after the storm, when the paths
had been partially made by the pedes-
trians, and always too late to accommo-
date those going to school.
Now the snow is removed in time to
reasonably accommodate every one, and
the paths made of such width as to be
very commodious compared with the
tOw-paths before imposed upon the pub
lie.
Few realize. even in the conduct of
their own affairs. much less in public
duties, that there is no increase of eX-
pense, but only of a little care and
thoughtfulness, in attending to matter
in season and at the right time. while
the amount of comfort and convenience
of many people is multiplied IA thousand
fold by so doing; and so, as said at first,
more than a passing notice is due the
officer or officers of the village who have
so efficiently and promptly attended to
the walks after every storm this winter.

Hon. WIN. NJ. EvARTs has given his
views on the presidential question. In
an interview he said that the candidate
most likely to carry New York is one
who does not belong in that State. He
continued:
| do not say this with reference to any
particular individual, but we hear so
much If he can carry New York" that,
in my opinion, it would be well to take
the benefit of the doubt, and select a
good man outside the State who would
receive the united strength of the party
in the State, and who could add the large
Democratic vote which would be sure to
prefer Il Republican candidate on sound
platform 10 Democratic one repre-
senting the doctrine of eXpediency as the
highway to the acquisition of the spoils
OF office. In my opinion, Senator Ed
munds would make an excellent nomina-
ton for the Republicans. lie stands upon
a high plane. While he has been Repub-
lican always, he has taken broad view
of public questions, and has pursued the
even tenor of his way amid the wrangles
and personal animosities incident to the
intrigues and Vaccinations of powerful
party leaders.

An Alleged Hit.

lumber from the mountains is a mean,
contemplate hit at class of men who,
instead of loating all winter, are hard at
work to earn an honest dollar.
In the second place. the whole drift of
the article is false. | will defy you to
show where four horses out of the fifty
teams drawing for me have changed

sters is mnding their own business while
earning IN honest dollar. Some of the
teamsters do get up at 4 O'Clock, but the
4 O'Clock boys don't get in at or 5
O'Clock at night. The record at the pulp
mill shows that the teams arrive before )

the long line of teams passing between 4

The paragraph which called out the
above was as follows: The teamsters
who draw lumber from the mountains
here have rather hard time of it. They
are obliged to be up at four O'Clock in
the morning and do not get home till
seven or eight in the evening. The chief
amusement of their lives appears to be

PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENT.

We have sent statements of account to all
whom our books show to be in arrears months
or over. Those owing us for a year or more can
have the paper Tor that year and the one follow
ing that for which they are indebted to us, on
payment of 50. In cases where the year has OK
PRED aud the subscriber does not renew - will
be charged, in accordance with our standing an
nouncement On he first of February the pa
pers OF those who are IN arrears for year or
more will be stopped and collections made at the
rate of 81 year.
We are endeavorlng to print paper which
shall be worth its subscription prce-one that
the people of the county will be willing to sup
port. Our experience the past year leads us to
believe that our efforts are appreciated; and we
hope to improve upon what has been done. But,
in order to better the paper, we must have mon
ey; hence the above requests. 1t has been the
custom to allow subscriptions TO run for term
of years. This we believe to be bad policy for
all concerned The subscriber must some time
or other meet large bill, while tn publisher is
put to great tr Iuble pay the expenses of fur.
nishing the paper. The amount in each case is
small, but the aggregate is large. Now, we wish,
if possible to avoid these evils of the longcredit
system. 1t would be still better, perhaps, if we
adopted the plan OF stopping papers at the end
of the time paid for. This, however, might cause
Inconvenience to some but il seems to us that
al who wish the paper will agree with us that
their subscriptions should be paid before the
year is out.

Donation at Whiting.

Editor Register and journal On Fri
day evening, Jan. %, large compa ~
met at the parsonage in Whiting for the
purpose of paying the annual donation
visit to the pastor of the Baptist church,
Rev. w. NJ. Mayhem. An excellent and
bountiful supper was provided by the
committee, Messrs. Hubbard, Wooster
and Bryant, which appeared to be thor
oughly enjoyed by all. 1t was truly a
pleasant sight to witness the evident sat
isfaction of all the guests, both young
and old, at the gratifying success of the
occasion. The net amount realized was
over $50 in cash. with other useful art-
Giles swelling the receipts too over so,
for which the sincere thanks of the re-
cipients are hereby returned. We also
wish to bear our testimony to the effect
that it would be difficult to find a gather
ering of such numbers bent on pleasure
where every one apparently enjoyed
themselves to such an extent, and where
at the same time so little that was obiec-
tionable could be pointed out. As we
thus gratefully remember the kindness
and thoughtfuness of these many friends,
we would also express our sincere hope
that they may live to participate in many
similar assemblies and that thereby they
may have the satisfaction of knowing
that they have helped to tighten the bur
dens and gladden. the hearts of those
who, as Christ's servants, are striving to
do them good.
