, mounted on his horse and the dog
jumped at him but did not harm
him in his attempt, but bit lots of
hogs in one drove, he bit several
other dogs, and while passing
through the streets he jumped on
an old gander and nearly picked
him before he let him 60. He
seemed to travel ahead of all his
tpursuers and no n expected him

There is much talk of levelling
and paving the front streets with
phosphate rock. This is what
should be done. It would give the
town a business like appearance,
as well as being of great benefit
to all of the business men of the
place, It would do away with the
greater quantity of dust thatnow
fills your place Of business and
almost STILES you everytime a
vehicle passes your place. There
is from three to four hundred
dollars spent in throwing sand
on the streets and walks every
year and this would, to a great
extent, be done away with after
paving with phosphate rock. If
the town has not the money now
on hand let it borrow it,and pave
East and West Centre and Main
streets. If the town commissions
ers fear to shoulder the respon>
sibility, let them leave it to a
popular vote of the citizens.
Let's go forward, and the way to
do it is by steadily making per-
manent improvements.
