They are always getting something
new out there-its either new Mayor,
new City Hall or new court house
or something OF the kind to keep up
the interest of the people.
The new Mayor, w. S. Haskell, has
the appearance as well as the reputa-
tion of being shrewd and capable

iuent figure in the Legislative halls
during the coming session.
L. Black is going out of business.
This is to be regretted as he has been

admired by portion of his flock. OF
course the reverend gentleman will
continue to hold the fort as long as
his salary is forthcoming, yet there
are people who think that even min

he ceases to give satisfaction to those
who pay the salary.
The Y. P. S. G. L. fair held last Fri
day night was grand success and
netted about $3.50. Where on earth
did they find SO much money?
Christmas will come again this year,
