was from Act, 80:
But God Was With Him."

TIE Village Council.
Monday evening the village coun-
Gil met in regular session at the town
hall. II. A. Weld, village attorney,
read new ordinance, which he ad-
vised the council to pass, if it want
ed to shorten the water mains and
repeal the Smile ordinance. After
some discussing the matter, the
council adjourned to meet again
Thursday evening. 1t looks as if the
council was weakening. Itpassed an
ordinance to give the whole village
the benefit Of the waterworks, which
we think is right, and not to accept
petitions from property holders to be
cut of from the waterworks to avoid
paying their assessments. We say
60 ahead and lay the water mains, so
we can get it off our minds, or it will
be spring and new council may be in,
and it may be thrown out altogether.
Some of the council are in favor of
cutting off the water main south of
the depot.
