Our Town Council would ex-
hibit commendable enterprise
were it to pass an ordinance com
polling all property owners on the
principle streets of the town to
erect sidewalks on such portions
of the streets as their property
may border. ~
Our young friend Morris Sci

poets to receive patent shortly.

Another row in one of our
houses last Tuesday; as
usual whisky was the prime factor,
even furnishing the weapon "a
bottle which was used on
the head of one of the beligerents
in manner which caused blood
to flow freely. The results, tho
not particularly serious may be
but a premonition of what is yet to
come.
At first our Liquor Dealers
considerable objections to
the license levied by our town
council, but they have overcome
their seruples and paid the money,
and now we hope our Aldermen
will look to the interest of the
town and spend the money SO re-
,elved on Improvements which will
enhance the value of town proper
~ and furnish conveniences now 50
BADLY needed.

besides taking steps toward the
reorganization of our Temperance
Union, passed the evening most
pleasantly in listening to able adj
dresses by Messrs Atchison, vii.
son and Hudgins as we'll as an ex-
ceptionally interesting essay by
Mrs. c. M. Patterson. We are
glad to see these meetings resum-

building and open up stock of

We welcome Mr.. Craft to our town,
and feel satisfied that he will not
be disappointed in his ideas of the
future which is in store for us.
Mr.. Cocker has not yet expressed
his intentions, but we hope that
be will not find it to his interest to
leave us.
