how good it is for breathern to
dwell together in unity" at which
COuncilmen Barton exclaimed.
amen !" At the close Of the Glove
FEAST City Hall Commissioner,
Charley Evans, who was present,
struck up, "When | can read my title
clear to a new City Hall. Oh how
happy | shall be" and then all joined
in the refrain. George Long shouted
himself hoarse, and his business
partner Samuel Barton elected
another "Amen !" DR.. Southern
called for the previous question,
which was seconded by "Sam."
Kelley, but nobody could tell exactly
what question was before the house,
and Charley Evans raised the pOini
OF order that there WASH any, eitEo1
previous or otherwise. Ed Lee
declared the point well taken. and
moved that a COmmitte to consist OF
Lew" Scott and Sam" Kirby, be
appointed by the chair to ascertain
ii there was one, and If there was
to send for persons and papers, and
to advertise in the Pleasantville
Press, for any further information
needed. The latter section of the
motion was unanimously adopted
amid a perfect cyclone and several
tornadoes of enthusiasm, during
which ed" Lee jumped up on q
water-cooler and shouted, "a thOus-
and cheers for the PleasantvilIe Press,
the only paper in the world that Is
really worth reading" At this
point ice water was served and the
sight of it caused several to faint
dead away, and DR.. Southern had to
volunteer his professional services to
restore them to consciousness. The
motion to go into the Committee of
the whole on the general condition
OF mankind, and proper costumes for
women to battle in, was defeated
and the meeting adjourned SUBJ

l hear that Chosen Freeholder
Lewis H. Smith is down on the
PRESS, which of course, is awful for
the PRESS. If l have been correctly
informed there was time, just before
he was elected, when he was mighty
glad to have the support of the
PLEAsANTvILL PRESS. He got it, if
rightly remember, and as soon as he
was elected straightway proceeded
to forget all about the support that
never cost him a cent to get. The
very people who tried to defeat him
were the ones to whom he speedily
surrendered, and was taken into
camp in consideration for positions
on certain Committees, and he then
joined the little brigade who think
they can have happier existence by
abusing the PRESS. l have often
thought that the PRESS has been ex-
tremely fortunate in the enemies it
has made, and it was never more SO
than when it managed to get Lewis
HI. Smith, FreehOlder, down" on it.
The PRESS works in the interests of
taxpayers, hence it finds no favor
among the members of the Freehold
ers Combine" among whom Free
holder Smith shines with all the bril-
liancy of q tallow candle. ARGUS.
