 The gentlemen composing the street committee are certainly entitled to thanks for the quantity and quality of work done on the streets. Not only has the grading and bridge repairing been well done, but the principal streets have happily been rid of the unsightly growth of weeds, dog fenuel, etc. The good work ought to continue, and doubtless will, and each citizen should strive to keep pace with the committee by keeping sidewalks and premises cleaned. The looks of town would not only be materially enhanced thereby but the healthfulness of the people very much improved. Examine your stock ofletter heads, note heads, statements, envelopes, bus mess cards, etc., and see if the supply is not running short. If so, give us your order and we will execute It sur prisinglY well and with marvellous cheapness.
 A recent issue of the Dawson, (Ga. News contained the following item of whispered interest: GA newspaper in Ohio recently brought suit against for ty-three men who would not pay their and obtained judgement In each case for the amount of each claim. Of these, twenty eight made af- fidavit that they owned no more than the law allowed, thus preventing at tachment. Then under the decision of the supreme court they were arrested for petty larcency and bound over in the sum of $500 each. All but six gave bond, while six went to jail. The new postal law makes it a larcency to ta ke a paper and refuse to pay for it.
