A MORD no THE COuNCIL.

Our sidewalks are in a terrible
condition generally, and have been
so for month. 1t is almost neces-
sary to wear gum boots and use
stills TO keep dry feet. With gravel
so near and so cheap, there is no ex-
cuse for this state of things There
are mud holes ON our sidewalks
which have existed for years, so
that whenever there is II slight
shower ladies can hardly pass over
or around them. We talk about
city people coming here, the beauty
of the town and surroundings, our
pure air and water, our good roads,
fine fishing, the beautiful glen and
other attractions. All these nature
furnishes. Now what do the people
furnish ? Dusty or muddy streets
and sidewalks, encountered and dis
figured with old wagons, railroad
ties, brush, firewood and in fact
about everything that people wish
to place ON them for their convent
ence. The general appearance of
the village is dilapidated and SLOW
enly.
During court week when a few
hours work with shovel or snow
plow would have cleared our gut
ters and enabled the water to pass
off, not hand was raised, and the
town was thoroughly advertised
throughout the county as pos
sessing an utterly incompetent
government. We are in sympathy
with any scheme which will add to
the beauty and attractiveness of Mil
ford, and induce people to come here
in large numbers. We need them,
they are the principal support of the
town and surrounding country, but
we think it idle for our borough fa-
theirs to indulgei in talk of such large
matters as the purchase of property
until they evince a capacity to deal
with such crying needs as the i'm
provement of our streets and side
walks. Why should not trees be
planted on the public square, and it
made shady and attractive by the
addition of few seats. 1t is pub
lie park, and We're it put and kept in
proper condition would be an attlac-
tive spot. There should also be a
public watering trough there.
Come! gentlemen wake up get the
cobwebs out of your eyes, do less idle
talk about what ought to be and let
us have what can and should be, and
let us have it now, beautiful and
well kept town.

Judge Craig in Carbon county last
week in refusing to hear the Lehigh
Coal & Navigation Company case,
because he had received a letter in
timating that he might be partial to
the company. The Philadelphia In
quirer comments favorably on his
action. While.the Lansford Record
says he displayed a lack of back
bone by his course and says if he is
anxious to have the public believe
that he is free from undue influence,
there is one course left open. He
should resign, and seek a vindica-
ton at the hands of the voters.

mended is several, do not attempt to
cement a second piece before the

Hints for the HOushold.

Fruit is not complete dietary in
itself, but it is excellent to accom-
pany meat diet. The acid contained
in the fruits assists digestion, and it
is for this reason that apple sauce
should be served with roast pork or
goose, the fat Of which is rendered
more assimilable by it.

Mr. Mutchler whose chief claim il
says is that he is the son of his

wants to use Carbon to further his

its county candidates, if it is true
to itself, if it wants to remain
in good fellowship with Pike and
Monroe, it will refuse to be a cats
