Anybody who attended the White
entertainment a few nights
ago, and remembers how Somebody's
little boy kept running up and down
the aisles, and how Mr.. Stevenson

The REGISTER wants to say for
John Walters that he has made one of
he best, if not the best, street COM
nissioners lola ever had. He has at
tended strictly to business and has
kept our streets and sidewalks in ex-
cellent condition. The only complaint
We ever heard made against him was
hat he spent too much money. But it
s hard to make improvements all the
line and not spend money.
