Kick From Rockford.

see you are to have Democratic rule
this year IN your beautiful city. They
ought 10 keep the crosswalks clean for
sure. They throw mud enough on the
Republicans to keep the dirt pretty
well used up. Hope they Will give you
Republicans pure water TO use and shut
off the liquor wells, and remove at
least one track out of Canal-st., and
not allow more than five tracks on any
other street in your city, and not growl
ut every step that is taken toward inn
provement. | think it would be well
Tor your new mayor to put on his high
top boots and walk over the city a
while, then take a corps OF men and head
the gang and clean up the streets and
the sidewalks; then take look at your
photograph in the kicker column and
take a lesson from him. He IS 4 good
illustration of most of the men that
hold Offices these DAYS. q. o. L.

Old LADY GOSSIP SAYS !:

That in thus ventnring before the read
ers of the DEMOCRAT she is not act,,at.r
by single shred of ambition, nor prompt
ed by any intlncement.
| That by the introduction of this column
which will have IL weekly recurrence. she
does not expect to increase the circ,,-
lation OF the DEMOCRAT, the editor desi-
ring more to keep UP to the standard than
to swell the subscription list of the paper.
Don't you believe it,
That it is hardly necessary for her to
assure the readers of this accurate-in-
every-respect newspaper that this "patch-
ing the blanket" will be run upen a
strictly cash bass-n0 puffs given of any
description unless paid for in advance.
That being helpless widow, with a
large family of small children to support,
She will be compelled to adhere strictly
TO this rule If it ruins her-friendly rela-
tlous with tine people.
That further as money received in this
way will form the only substantial basis
for her salary the reasonableness of her
position will at once be recognized.
She begs to assure the general public
that thing that might be dangerous to
the safety OF the great commonwealth
shall ever creep into this column, over
whose destiny she is to preside; and that
IN all notes OF news a democratic tiune
will be perceptible to the optimistic eve.
whatever that is.
She has no intention of using this SPACE
to make love to Old Man Gossip, although
She thinks he sorely needs helpn,eet:
this she is free to confess.
That all politicians desiring in the fr,-
ture to use her influence with voters who
peruse this paper gladly every week,
must write their own obituaries. so as to
avoid any distressing determinations
which afterwards might otherwise occur.
That she hopes her line of policy in this
respect will prove acceptable to every
sucker" on the list.
That owing to lack of ventilation in the
paper this week, due to the press of i'm
portant cable aud telegraphic dispatches
from over the world, she will be COM
Delled to await next week to conclude the |
outline of what is contemplated by the !
appearance of this veracious column-ofl
he reforms, resurrections, battles, burials |
md so forth, intended.

OF thelr names III the rush, we vii
make no personal mention.
Two of the most co,nmodious a:
we'll as the best finished houses in on,
town will soon be ready for occupan.
cy, viz: DR.. Hardy's residence and
store, which we learn is to become the
property of his brother, who will soon
arrive from North Carolina.
The store building referred to is a
two-story structure with glass front,
elegantly finished. with hall above ;
the lower compartment is furnished
with nicely made counters and bracket
shelves.
The residence is an ornament to the
Town, aud does credit to the architect
and builder, Mr.. e. f. Kimber, of
Alexandria. The cost of the two
buildings will approximate $4,000.
MIR. John Devaney, section fore
man of Lloyd, was taken to Alexan.
dria under a warrant sworn ont by a
negro named Bob Hes, on Wednes-
day last. From the evidence it was
PLAIN that Mr.. Devaney was justiGa-
bic i'll driving tue fellow from his pre-
misses even if he did have to use the
handle of a spike maui to accomplish
it. The negro tried to bluff him with
a pistol.
The old property known as the
Compton Summer house was destroyed
By fire on last Thursday. 1t was an
old time-honored resort, aud will be
sadly missed hy mary who have en-
joyed the redolent breezcs from its
lofty and spacious verandas.
Friday evening suspicious look
ing tramp attracted the attention of
officer Taylor, who thought hest to
keep an eye on him, but as he had to
step into the baker shop, he asked Is.
rael Pressburg to notice the fellow.
Israel soon saw the tramp boldly en-
ter officer 'raylor's yard, and immeii-
,tely called him. bnt before he could
get here the fellow had broke the
listening of the back door and en-
cred. Taylor entered the front door
o get his gun, aud the tramp slipped
'nt and hid He was soon found
however, aud led up the II. and P. !
