Rev DR.. Shahan of Washington who
will preach the sermon at 3ociock comes
highly recommended. Some time ago he
~; Il i,, ha
papers Of that city and Philadelphia
spoke highly of his eloquence A cordial
invitation has been extended to tho poo

Frank Bridgewater loft on Monday for
Philadelphia, whore he will learn the jew
clry business. In u letter written to one
Of his friends he says that Philadelphia is
clean out Of sight
The Street Committee of City Council
took tho hint about the weeds along
South street and has had u man at work
for the past few days cleaning the dis
graceful gutter.
A few persons are wanting to know
what the result of the conference between
tho committee and Superintendent Holl-
day was, but the members OF tho com
mittee says silence is gold although silver
will not be free. In fact the people do not
care much about the action of the road.
1t has just us much right to run its trains
at high rate of speed through the city as
horsemen have right to run races in the
city limits.
So if it is any satisfactn to the clty
council to keep still tongues for month
then they are at liberty to report progress
and tell the people 1t is mono OF their
business. The city council is not such an
august body that it Is beneath the idea Of
informing the people what they are doing
until the regular meeting.
The room in school building No. / in
which Miss Baird began to teach this fall
was found to be too small for her scholars,
They could not march rs they had TOO
little room. So an exchange of rooms
was made with Miss Fleming.
The Democrats and Republicans ar @
paying taxes. Some of our Democratic
registrars have refused to qualify some
colorcd men because they don't reside in
the district in which they (the registrars
reside. 1t makes no difference what dis
trlct man lives in SO long MS he Is assess
cd by the ,lsscssor and paid his tax.
There will be no triflny taken by the
Republicans this time from the registrars
as the people will demand their rights
OF course it would not be right to ngitnte
INC uOlnB Ol unylilluS WIonS, DuU IL d
Democrat thinks it is all right to dance
liz from the limb Of II tree for refusing
to qualify colorel men he alone will bo to
blame in the matter.
The day has gone by when the rights of
a citizen can be wilfully stolen by politi-
cal renegades.
