MIR mAwLEY IS IN FAVOR.

k. F. Hawley most certainly would favor the organization of a village i'm provement society. I would like to see street lights in the Street and from here to the depot. A society can certainly be organized here and can do effective work. There is no reason why we can't have a society here as well as in other places.

The young folks had their innings for sure, Tuesday, it being St Valentines day. They hoyered about the postoffice like bees about molasses barrel, and while some of them wore sad counte- nances from disappointment, yet most of them were smiles from top to bottom. As matter of course, some of the older ones were remembered and some old scores were squared up, and some new ones opened to be settled in the future.
