For the Democratic Advocate
An Explanation,

We regret TO learn that some remarks in an
article which appeared in the ADVOCATE of
the 21st instant, over the initial D., have
been regarded by some as an unjust reflection
upon the Church and Christianity, and feel it
but due to the writer and reader 70 diaplaiHl
any such design pr intepti9n. Though not
identified with any religions sect or denomila-
ton, no pne has higher regard for Christi
anity than the author Of the article referred to,
which was written under the impulse Of the
moment. Otherwise the language might have
been modified and yet conveyed all that was
aimed at. HERREp.

Dust. Is it Fair

Street sprinkling has become necessity
not luxury, therefore all should use a street
sprinkler. In several squares, along Main
street, there are many residences that haven't
water, yet they are perfectly willing that
their neighbors above, below and opposite
should pay for the water to lay the dust in
front of their property and thus enjoy the
freedom from the inhalation of the dust and
injury to their furniture. Hundreds of vehi-
Giles pass along our streets to-day where
twenty did few years ago, and the result is
dust is flying all the time. Private residen-
ces and places of business suffer in damage
to furniture and goods because of the parsi-
moniousness of few. The Water Company
cannot afford to furnish the water necessary
to lay the dust gratuitously, and those who
have placed their money in it and give their
time and labor to the enterprise should at
least be paid for the comfort enjoyed in the
keeping down of The dust There should also
be some regularity in the hours of sprinkling,
say from 10 a. IN. and from 3 to p. M.
BY this rule street crossings would be dry
both in the morning and evening when our
citizens are mostly out either for business or
pleasure. Will all use street sprinklers and
not impose extra expense upon those who
are willing to do their share for the comfort
of the town, or are they willing to go back to
the old way of sprinkling by carts or not
sprinkle at all?
