that sum. The company will be organic

Fire Department, and at this they do moi
complain, but at the neglect of the city

rendered useless to them they do COM
plain, and they have good cause of com
plant. The Council is the guardian O
the whole people and peace of Anderson

looked after and protected. We hope the
Council will proceed at once to build two
or three cisterns in these portions Of the
city.

mouth, and consequently was left lying
where he fell for dead. After some time

came to the conclusion that 6eab. was te
blame and withdrew the prosecution, the
costs having been paid.
