The crying demand of this village is
for better sidewalks. OF course every
reasonable citizen appreciates that our
village board is new to that sort of bus
mess, and as yet lack the experience
that would make them feel free to move
readily on the important question which
require action. A wholesome degree
of caution is commendable and no one
questions that they are honestly work
ing for the best interests of the place:
And yet, when our SUBURBAN residents,
to say nothing of those living not
more than square from the village,
must wade through mud ankle deep
or run the risk Of being impaled or get
ting their necks broken on some of the
dilapidated board walks that prevail, it
seems time this question should be
tackled and something done to remedy
the evil. There is caution and econo-
my that may turn out to prove reckless
and expensive--and Fennimore doesn't
want any "McLiman' cases on her
hands.
The auction sale of Powers goods
seems to be the center of interest yet
and draws large crowds of people to the
village. As a rule the goods fetch
very fair prices and a looker-on would
have cause to think that the cry of hard
times and scarcity of money is all gam
mol" to see how readily the money
circulates at this sale Sheriff Rich
ards is a good auctioneer and from an
outside view, we Judge he is going to
get pretty full value for this stock.
The Ladies Aid Society of the NJ
Il. church are maturing their arrange
ments for the Bazaar and Kate Greena-
way entertainment to be given at Cow
ers Hall, Friday evening, April 2.
They solicit donations or fancy and use
full articles for sale at the Bazaar Some
thirty children will be dressed in attrac-
tive Kate Greenaway costumes and
give an entertainment of marching and
tableaux In addition to this, there
will be lunch counter where the hun
cry may be refreshed at so much per
hunger 1t has not yet been decided
how the ceiling of the church will be
repaired, but the indications are that
the old plastering will be removed and
substantial wooden ceiling put on, which,
though costing more at the outset, will
be much more substantial and durable.
We hear of several prospective bust
ness changes. III. FL. Hampton will
put new glass front to the north wing
of his building, and enlarge and fix up
the front room for the use of Mr..
Willison as bank. The Farnham
building vacated by Mr.. Willison has
been leased by Day Il Stone and will be
occupied as a meat market We have
not heard what use the Powers store
room will be put to when the auction
sale is completed-but have no idea it
will be long vacant; the location is too
valuable
Will Day suffered quite serious
cut with an adj on his left wrist last
week, while rigging up forhoop shaving,
but is rapidly mending under the care
of Dr. Pickard.
III. A. w McNair's familiar face
was seen on our streets last Saturday.
He spent the day here visiting friends,
and looking after his property interests.
Mr.. Roethe,. ook-keeper for Him,
Hildebrand & Parker, returned Tues
day from several weeks visit to his
home in the eastern part of the state.
Protracted services continue this
week at the NJ. +. church, with evil
dence of a good deal of revival inter
est.
