The only good reason why DR.. Dorr
should not run for Mayor for the fourth
consecutive year, we heard youngstsr
give the other day, when discussing the
merits of the different candidates, ''He
don't tend the grave yard, keep the grass
cut down, nor nothin'." Now, Dr., we
certainly hope this part of your duties
which we know ourselves you have been
remiss in. will receive your prompt and
immediate attention.
Il. N. Griffith steps down and out of
the Justices office for the list ward which
he has held for these many years-ten or
twelve. we believe. Even Mr.. Griffith's
enemies will admit that he has been an
able official, and is we'll qualified for the
place. He retires without stain upon
his official honor. Jas. D. Sheedy, who
takes his place. we believe is very fit
successor. He is young lawyer, we'll
read, of good mind and morals. Success
to Justice Sheedy.

prchensive an atlas in so compact form

and the other continents, of the Unitet
States separately, and of the principa
countries of Europe, are new, accurate
full of details and remarkably distinct
Numerous astronomical and Statistical
charts and tables are included with tn
maps, the size of the book is convenient
and there need be no hesitation in buyin,
it. 1t is truly an excellent family atlas
and its price brings it within the mean
of every family. Price of single cop,
1915, but the agents, Messrs A. G. Jus
tice of Eyota and Stephen Ives of Browns
dale, who are now canvassing this city
are furnishing the work to our citizens a
the low club price of $3.50. This is
rare opportunity to get q good family a,
