The hitching rack question was
discussed by the Council Tuesday
night and they expressed themselves
anxious to accommodate the country
people with hitching places, but said
they knew of no suitable place in
town that could be secured. On the
new Addition a lot could possibly be
secured, but it is too far from the
center of the town..
The practice of jumping on NOV
ing trains down at the depot, which
received severe frost some time
ago, has been revived again. Every
train that passes is boarded by sew
eral young men and boys. The au-
thorities should keep an eye out for
such violators and give them an
other dose. Otherwise the services
of the coroner will be in request
some of these days.
T. B. WILLIAMS, of Morgantown,
W. Va. has been in Washington for
several days looking for a site for a
brick works. He now operates a
plant at Morgantown, and after trav-
cling over all this section of the coun-
try, says that he considers Washing
ton the most substantial and prosper
GUS town he has found. He wishes
to secure five or six acres of ground
near Washington, and was rather sur
prised at the price asked by different
holders whom he called upon.
Mr.. Williams believes that Washing
ton is an excellent site for the loca-
ton of first class brick mandatory
as it has elegant shipping facilities.
Observer.
The enterprising bunco steerer is
at it again. His latest trick is a
very smooth one, and while it has
not yet been used in this section,
the farmers had better look out for
it. A pleasant stranger comes and
after some talk about wheat offers
the farmer 81 a bushel for his crop.
The farmer signs receipt agreeing
to deliver the grain at the track at
nearest station. The stranger leaves
and in short time the farmer is
notified that there is a note against
him in a bank somewhere for the
Of money mentioned on the
receipt which he signed. Look out
for this swindler and paste him
when he appears.
ABOUT the worst evil that country
towns have to contend with is the
loafer. This does not mean the hon
est toiler, who because OF hard times
and lack Of employ ment is forced to
spend idle hours on the street or else
where, but the idler Of choice; the
young man of abundance OF brain
and muscle, who is contented to while
away the long hours of the day and
night on the street corner, while per-
haps his mother Is toiling for the
bread he eats. The only work he
does Is with his Jaws on a cut OF to-
bacco, squirting his slobbers over the
as is the case on Main
street until ladies would ilnd cleaner
walking on the street, and making
remarks about passers-by, befouling
the air with coarse and blaspsemous
