handsome and charming manner quite
number of Yong people on last Mouday
afternoon.
The question agitating the minds Of

Much has been written in the papers about
Unions prospect in this line, but we don't
see any present prospects for having State
barroom here. There are 100 freehold
voters, and it must take fifty-fve Of these
to have q majority, and we understand Mr..
I. X. Palmer has only about twenty on his
petition.

The Town Council have levied IN annual
dog tax. to 60 iato effect the first day Of
August. Every person owning or keeping
a dog in the corporate limits of the town Is
required to pay an annual tax of $1.00, and
the dog must wear collar and tax check,
the check being purchased from the Town
Clerk. If dog is caught after first Of
August on the streets without tax check
it shall be impsunded for twenty-four hours
and advertised, aud if not called for will
be killed, and when the dog can't be caught
it will be killed. This We think is q capital
law and one that should be enforced, fol-
there are a number Of worthless ours roam
ing the streets committing all sort Of
depredations. Enforce your law, tits COED
one. s
The "locar wilB plain to the Senior
why the electisn isf town Treasurer was moi
held at the sams time other officers are
elected by the-TSHn Council. An act Great.
ing a town Treasurer to be elected by the
council was pessed about three years age
and of course, went iats effect about 1st o.
January after its passage. After IL wen
into effect the council under the law elected
Treasurer in February for one year, hence
the Treasurer holds Office from February to
February Of each year. We think it would
be wise law 10 allow each council 10 elect
when sworn in, all its subordinates.

Rev. Mr.. C. A. b. Jennings went Il
Clinton this week. to deliver the address at tn,
closing Of the Presbyterian College of sou,l
Carolins. The correspondent Of the Stat
has this to say ofMr. Jennings address:
"Rev. C. A. b., jennings, Of Union, the
alumni orator, addressed the students OF
Education of the past and its presen
problems" He handled his subject in @
mastery way, ann showed that he had
studied it well. While Mr.. Jennings ha.
been absent feur years, yet the influence o.
a christian life, spent for the promotion o.
Christs kingdom and the betterment of his
fellow students has been handed down to US
and We yet feel the effects Of that christian
influence"
