Mr.. c. P. Hisey, Of This place. received
and opened by mistake a package that
arrived IN the mail few days ago, that
was evidently intended for his brother
TOmmie who was recently married here.
The package contained full directions for
the young mans guidance, and is supposed
to have been sent by the ticket agent of
the B. & o. X. X. at Stanton. ShOnld

Tommie got the package with its con-
tents and directions all right, although
rather at second hand.
The people of Edinburg have the right
to boast of one OF the best paved towns in
the Valley. But now that Main street
has first class brick payements on both
streets have been as literally dealt with
as well as fine hard brick walks to every
church IN town, we think it is no more
than simple justice that our town author.
tiles should turn their attention to the
needs of Water street in this respect. The
residents of this street have never COM
planned of being neglected, knowing that
the claims of some other portions of town
might be more imperitiye than theirs, bu'
now they feel their time is here. and they
most respectfully ask the members Of the
town government to look that way.
One of TIE severest wind and rain
storms, accompanied by smart fall Of
hail, visited this section on Thursday
afternoon of last week. The new dwell
ing of Mr.. j. d. Lemon. on Piccadlla
street, ROW in process of completion, had
the west side swayed and bent in about
eight inches, the braces having been re-
moved preparatory to putt!ng in the
floors. Fortunately none of the timbers
were broken and the damage was easily
remedied.
A portion of the roof of the drug store
OF Mr.. c. p. Hisey, on Main street, had
been raised for the purpose OF putting in
the timbers for a mansard roof, and which,
upon the approach of the storm, had been
put back so hastily that it leaked badly
and in consequence the back room Of the
lower story was completely flooded, badly
damaging the plastering. especially on
the ceiling. Other damage was confined
to the uprOoting of trees and the severe
washing of a number of gardens and corn
fields.
