A Good Idea This.
1t has been suggested to the reporter
that if the town meeting tonight (Friday)
will adopt res olution suggesting that
hereafter no bills be paid by the town
treasurer except upon the approval of a
majority of the town council, much trou-
BILE will be prevent ted in the future.
Off For an Excursion.
Union school, together with a large
number of friends of the institution,
leaves Filbert today over the Carolina
and North Western road for picnic
excursion to Cliffs. THE ENQUIRER
begs to acknowledge a kind invitation
to participate in the pleasures of the
occasion.
Made Out of the Whole Cloth.
In published interview with members
of the town council last Friday, Warden
Propst was made to say some things which
were taken to reflect on THE ENQUIRER.
The reporter had good reason to believe
that Mr.. Propst intended nothing of the
kind but, to make sure, took occasion
to ask him. From what Mr.. Propst said
to the reporter, it appears that the inter-
view was entirely unauthorized, and the
sentiments attributed to him unwar-
ranted.
