The mail carrier on the Nicholas
end of the Braxtou and Nicholas
route cut open the mail sack, Satur-
day of last week, and after scattering
the mail promiscuously, threw the
sack behind an old log and left the
route. He was arrested day or two
afterward, and the only reason he
could give for his act, was that the
contractor lad made him mad and he
did it through revenge. The boy
was found to be OF unsound mind,
and discharged after hearing before
a Justice. There had been nothing
taken and the mail was gathered up
and forwarded to its destination.

MORE LIGHT.

EDITOR ARGUS: Can anybody
tell as what the street lamps are for ?
Why Is it that at least one-third Of
the time when light Is. badly needed
on dark, rainy nights, frequently
Sunday nights-theY are not lighted d?
Is It not gross csrelessness upon the
part Of the town authorities ? The
lamps we're purchased with the peo-
pies money, and we should derive
some benefit from our investment.
Besides, there is great danger to life
and limb, and the risk Of an expen.
sive damage suit against the town by
some one being injured bY falling off
the side walks and goodness knows
there are dangerous traps enough
along The walks, even in daylight.
Where is the Mayor, the FIVE coun.
cilmen, the recorder, the sergeant, the
street commissioner ? Where is the
lamp.lighter ? Last Sunday night,
no lights; Monday night, dark as
a dungeon and pouring down rain,
and no light. What are the lamps
for ? Turn on the light

DECORATION DAY.

The ladies of our town repaired to

only the soldiers, but of their friends

feature in the observance OF the day
here was the absence Of the male por.
tion Of our people. With the excep.
ton of about three men and some
boys, the company was composed en-.
tirely of ladies, and there was a
goodly number of them. We can
not account for the absence of the
'lords Of creation" on any justiGable
score uuloss it be that Of supreme
laziness-a and whether laziness is a
justi6able reason or not is ques.

ROSCOE. Nov. 1.-THE Republican
press of the county so persistently ac-
cuses President Cleveland of being
hostile to the soldiers interests that
your correspondent takes pleasure in
bringing the following facts to the
notice of the GLOBES numerous
readers:
Capt. S. Y. Arnold, of Roscoe, a
soldier who served in an Illinois regi-
ment during the late war. has had az
rears due him by the government for
back pay on commission for twenty
four years. He has made an effort
since 1870 to collect the amount, and
finally had the claim allowed
last quarter. AS he heard moth
ing further from it, he wrote
to President Cleveland Sept. Z a
plain business letter, stating the facts
in the case. among others that he was
crippled, and Sept. IS received notice
from the second auditor of the treasury
that, ''at the request of the president
his claim would be settled as speedily
as practicable,' and he has already re-
ceived the vouchers from the treasury
department. This prompt action i'll the
interest of soldier by Mr.. Cleveland
is certainly
NOT FOR POLITICAL EFFECT,
as Dakota has no voice in selecting a
president this year. [ will add that
Capt. Arnold's military record is a very
honorable one, and 1 believe that where
such is the case soldiers will always re
ceive just recognition at the hands of
President Cleveland.
