Strong Argument for Paving.

Aside from the generally strong
argument in favor of paving from
the standpoint of proper and per-
manent improvement and the conse-
quent enhancement in the value of
property subjected to such advan-
tage, the alleys should be paved as
affording beneficial results of sani-
tary nature.

MISS GEORGIA WHITE, Local Editor.

When New Years morn rose bright and clear
One man decided to refrain
Most virtuously throughout the year
From words his family thought profane
Resolved also when sore oppressed
By grippe or other trifiing all
Ty act nc more like one possessed
BY all the pains that here prevail.
Resolved again to never greet
His wife or daughters with frown
When they so plaintively entreat
For funds to buy fetching gown,
His mind made up, he thought 1t wise
To put his VOWS in black and white,
Lest, taken by complete surprise,
He might forget the whole thing quite.
While so preoccupied his wits,
He wrote the date as ninety-four
And smashed the first resolve to bits;
For then, Of course, he roundly swore.
