TOPICS AROUND TOWN.


In view Of the fact that cholera has al
readymade It's appearance in Europe, aud the
several countries arc adopting strong
measures to prevent, IL possible, its spread,
would Il not be we'll for our Borough COun-
ell to appoint Board Of Health TO investi-
gate the sanitary condition Of our town
There are a number Of places that should
receive attention, among them the "stink-
log ditch' along the Lehigh Valley rail-
road, the adjacent swamp lots, a number Of
hog stabes along the highways, and the re.
m oval Of rubbish from the alleys and bye
ways. II is the imperative duty of the
Town Council to see 10 these matters new,
net in two or three months hence when
the disease has put In ap appearances.
Move, gentlemen, move.
POLITICAL FAvoRIfEs.
We hear the name Of Mr. Elwen Bauer,
Of East Mauch Chunk, very faYorpbly men
toned in connection with the Prothono
taryship of this county. The Democratic
delegates who will assemble at Mauch
Chunk 10 put in nomination men for the
various Offices, will act very wisely by
nominating Mr.. Bauer for the Prothons.
taryship. He is a man we'll and f4vorably
known and liked throughout the entire
county by bo th Democrats anil Republi cans.
In all things in which he has been con.
nected be has Invariably acquitted himself
with satisfaction to all; he has for many
years been sserSssry Of the Carbon County
Industrial Society, aud in this, as we'll as
in many other official and business capsci.
tles he has shown himself to be a man Of
honesty, integrity and ability. The Demo.
erats Of the lower end highly endorse Mr..
Bauer, aud all will, when tho tine comes.
work for bis nomination. and support him
at the election polls. He will make very
courteous and efficient official and be- as
She old sdags say,, Fihe right msu in the
right place."
Hiram P. LeYsn, Of Franklin township,
Is another Democratic gentleman whom
We hear talked Of az being a candidate for
Sheriff at the coming fall election. Mr..
he has always proved himself to DO thar
ough DEMOCRAT, he has been constable of
Franklin for numhar Of years. He in.
yariably runs way ahead Of the ticket in
the township contests, and we predict he
will do the same ip the county contest
should the Democratic pnnvsption wisely
put him in nomination for said Office. He
has, as constable, paid close attention to his
official duties. lie is spoken Of very highly
by the Democratic votcra in cur borough,
and we would DO pleased 10 see him elected
as Sheriff Of Carbon county.
PAYMENTS.
The payements along the upper end Of
Bank sstreet are in q terrible condition.
Why our authorities permit such state Of
fairs, especially on the main street, is in
deed strange. Fences broken down and
pavements torn up is tho prevailing state
OF affairs just at present, when things gen.
orally should be fixed up and made to cor
respond with spring. Our authorities are
very negligent in regard to the enforce
nenL Of the borough laws. Why, is III
DECORATION DAr-IAY so.
The day upon which We are called on 10
deck with aowers the graves of our fallen
heroes is rapidly drawing near, and we
would like to SEQ our citizens make some
arrangement for tho proper observance Of
the day. There is no nober or more praise
worthy work, and We would urge tho pas
tors of our several churches 10 take some
action in the matter. II would be eminent
ly fitting for the several Sunday schools to
combine on that day and, with appropriate
ceremonies, honor the fallen braves who
gave their lives for their country.
ORGANIZE RnARD OF TRAnE.
We notice 9 number OF towns 10 the val.
ley haYe formed boards of trade, with the
object of securing manufacturing industries
and improving business generally. Right
Eere We would ask, why does not Lehigh-
ton follow their example2 There is no 9th.
er town in the valley with better facilities
and none, we think, 10 the valley, with
more building roam, while our shipping
facilities are OF the very best.

Of this borough, on last Tuesday evening
The circle was formed at about o'clock, or

Tho members all take great interest in the

instrumental music. The large number OF
