ONE of the new gasoline street lanterns
has been attracting universal attention
during the evenings this week, in front
of Hoge's drug store. 1t makes nice,
brilliant light, in great contrast to the
smoked up oil lamps now in use. All
the people seem pleased with the lamp,
which is an ornament in itself. and if
not too expensive relatively, and if per-
fectly satisfied it is lasting, council will
make no enemies by change that will
better the towns appearance, and give
US a satisfactory street light, which we
have not now. We understand that the
cost of our lamps for the current year
will amount to in the neighborhood of
800, and they grow more expensive each
year; and it is also reported that many
of them are about ready to be retired
from the service, so now would be as
good time to change possibly, as any
other. The exact figures for the new
lamps cannot be given, but the company
will contract to furnish everything, the
lighter and all, on three year contract,
for in the neighborhood of one thousand
dsllars per annum. If council. however,
are disposed to contract for the new
lamps. they should beware of jobs. Thor
ough investigation where the burner is
in use sheuld be had before change is
made.

OUR country friend, Mr.. Isaac Clark,
dropped into the effice on Monday, and
of course did not know any news; but
in the course of short conversation,
we gathered the following, which we
give our readers:
"The foxes were running last night,
which is at least three weeks earlier than
usual, and betokens an early spring"
There will be good crop of sugar
water this year. 1t was too dry last year
but the ground has been full of water
all this winter"
There was big lot of corn caught
out this winter; tell you, great deal
of husking to do yet"
This warm spell commenced at night,
which means that the ground will all be
thawed out"
"The sale of the property Of the late
Charles G. Coffiand will occur one week
from Saturday"
"Jobn c. Kintner will soon make big
cattle sale."
