Gam bling In HillsbOrO.

Last weeks NEws-HERALD contained
short article, in which it was stated
that game of faro had been running
in town continuously for three years.
While we are assured that gambling has
been going on here for that length of
time, and for great many years in fact,
the manner of stating the case in our
last issue does an injustice to some of
our officers; the presumption being that
if the game of faro was running (being
rather public in its nature) that they
must have winked at the violation OF
law implied.
Last winter Ito do the officers full jus.
tice) q game of faro was detected and
six or seven of the players arrested and
fined by the Mayor, the fines paid az.
gregating about $500. We have every
reason to believe that gambling games.
especially poker and faro, are indulged
in almost constantly. We make this
explanation Of last weeks article in be-
half of our officers, thinking probably
our readers would misconstrue our for.
mer statement and take it - an intsn-
tional rs6eetion on them.

Cyril Mentor.


Indulge us, gentle reader, while
We do herein relate
How Cyril Mentor made his rise
In this enlightened state.
And may the young men OF this place
The prudent course pursue,
Which gave young Mentor his renown
From diverse points of view.
Young Mentor sprang of humble stock,
Was lowly at his birth,
But lowliness is oft the road
Which leads up to true worth.
His youth sped on with winged speed
Till manhood's glorious prime
Showed rounded out in him, man,
Who was destined to climb
Ambitions ladder to the top
And shine in social sphere,
With best blue blood in heraldry
At Washington or here.
Now Cyril courted Nellie Grant;
His SUIT she did permit,
Because the suits which suited him
Pleased her in style and fit.
The secret of young Cyrils rise
Competitors may cuss-
We firm maintain was simply this,
HE BOUGHT HIS CLOTHES OF US.

Electric light. .


Mr.. w. H. Lawrence, representing the
Edison United Manufacturing Company
of New York, reached this place Tues
day to try to induce the people Of Hills.
boro to adopt the electric system OF
lighting our town. He says that great
many towns, even smaller than Hills.
boro, have found the electric system
much more satisfactory than gas and
costing but little more. Mr.. Lawrence
proposes to use the incandescent variety
and can light both the streets and the
inside Of dwelling or business houses by
this process. He is also prepared to
take orders for private plants to be
erected in mills, factories, hotels and all
kinds of private and public buildings.
Every one knows of the superior quality
of this light and If we can have it fur
nishod in Hillsboro with but little addi-
tional cost over that of gas why not take
hold Of it? All persons interested in
the question should give Mr.. Lawrence
hearing and find out all about his
plans to give US light. He represents
one Of the Oldest and most reliable com
panies in this line in the United States
and what he promises to do will be full
Rlled. Electric light in HillSboro would
be 3 decided step forward In improve
ment and convenience, both to the pub
lie and private. Let N have electric

Shaffer apologized for accidentally jost-

NO apology and began to prepare for war.
Finally Shsffer said If nothing else would
