The Drinking Fountain.

The village council has decided to ill a
long felt want and an order has been
sent in for cast iron drinking fountain
to be placed at some convenient location
in the village. This has practically been
decided upon as near Shea's livery stable
which is looked upon as the most central
ly located and irequented by teams as
any that could have been chosen. The
fountain will be very convenient place
for people TO drink and will provide a
trough for horses and a tapping place for
dogs. The expense is not high and the
benefit derived will Offset this by a long
ways. The fountains have proven a
great convenience in other towns where
they have been tried and the one on the
location which belongs to the company
is used a great deal.
