They were our neighbors, and we regret to lose the family from "our end" of town. We wish them great success in their under takings. Mir.

He is sober and industrious, is a splendid penman. and if elected we believe he will take faithfully and we'll, and in creditable manner.

An ordinance authorizing the purchase of a bell, the erection of a belfry on the city hall, and setting forth a regulation | fire alarm, and positively forbidding the use of firearms in the corporate limits. should be passed at once.
