While wo are not resident of Kyle, we
feel free to say that VIC hope tho suggestion
of Rev. d. A Porter in another column, to
have another vote on local option there,
may be acted upon. In fact, such vote
should be regularly taken, where local OPP
ton does not PREVAIL as often as the law
authorizes. Whether it carries or not. the
canvass must prove great educator in the
cause of temperance and good morals.

The question of building market house
and opera house, we learn, will be before
the city council at its next meeting, We
have to say, most emphatically, in behalf of
the people, that tho building of agood Pub

precedence. We trust no contrary action
may be had until a general expression is
heard.

That Skipped by the Light of the Moon'
which will be presented in Augusta for the
first time on next Wednesday night, is one OF
the most laughable comedies ever seen on
any stage, all who have seen it will willingly
admit. The Philadelphia Ledger says of it

funny. 1t simply and sublimely defies anal.
ysis. Its sole object is to raise breeze,an
the breeze which has been raised by 1t has go'
quite beyond control, and grown to an un'
manageable magnitude of a cyclone The
most impertusble nature goes down before II
