This we are assured will be done at
the next meeting of the commission
Nothing is more unpleasant to The
TIMES than to have to dun it's friends
and patrons for the small amount due
on subscriptions, but the recent change
that has taken place in the proprietor
ship of the paper makes it an absolute
necessity to close up it's outstanding
accounts. We never ask our patrons
for money unless we really need it, and
as we need funds to enlarge our facili-
ties for publishing first-class paper
we feel that our friends should come
promptly to our relief, and hope that
it will not be necessary again to men
ton this matter again.

The TIMES takes pleasure in calling
to the announcement this week of
William N. Priestiy, for the office Of
City Treasurer. Mr.. Priestly is a
Cantonian by nativity and belongs to
one among the mast promi nent famil
les of the city. He was a fearless sol
der of the Lost Cause, and laid down
his musket only when the last gun
was fred at Appomattox. Since the
war, Mr.. Priestly has held various
business positions and has ever been
found equal to whatever duty has
devolved upon him. He is qualified in
every way for the position he seeks
and if elected will make a model
official.
Dan Hall says he is entertaining
about one hundred and fifty tramp.,
more or less. They are in camp on
his premises, and so far conducting |
themselves like gentlemen. Owing to
the hard times thousands of good, |
honest men have been thrown out Of
and are proper objects OF
pity aud sympathy. Because a man is
seeking work is no reason to put him
on the list of professional tramps and
our people should exercise proper
in dealing with them;
"Teach me to feel another's woe
To hide the faults I see;
That mercy to others show
That mercy show to me-"
