! The Woodland Beach road over the
marsh, which has been in a dangerous
condition during the past week or two,
is again in a good condition. Mr.. H.
B. Grieves reports it excellent for
travel and says he drove over Monday
even getting mud on the
wheels of his carriage. The road to
the Bombay Hook Light House is not
so good.
Remember the daily line for your
commencing Aug. IS.
This service will be continued if you
give sufficient patronage. 1t is a mat
ter entirely in the hands of the grower.
If You want a daily line work for it
and patronize it so that you may have
the benefit of the best service, at the
lowest rates. i
There is at the store of J. B. Cooper
that curious little animal for want of
better name called musical mouse"
because of the odd noise it makes,
resembling the first touches
of a musical instrument. 1t has been
heard in different parts of the house,
and was first seen about q year ago,
the glimpse of it then giving the out
line of a mouse.
1t so happens that all our pastors and
dentists are away at the same time. 1t
does not matter so much with the first
named, but it was somewhat different
with the dentists: teeth will often
ache in hot as we'll as cold weather,
until they become unbeaable. One
of the medical fraternity, who admit
ted he had "got somewhat out of prac-
tice," had the pleasure this week of
pulling troublesome molar, but lifted
the patient out of the chair in doing
it.
Have you muzzled your dog? If you
don't want it killed you had better do
so. The Town Council has requested
the Alderman to enforce the law to
the letter. Our three policemen have
been given the authority to kill all
dogs running at large, and if you have
not protected your dog in accordance
with the law, you are running a great
risk. Heretofore the Dog Ordinance
has been somewhat neglected, but as
will be seen by the proceedings of the
Town Council this will not occur so
frequently in the future.
Complaint has been made against the
boys who go swimming in Lake Como,
During these summer days they go
there in large numbers, and the resi-
dents in that part of the town are con,
tinually annoyed by them. They seem
ingly show no respect for themselves
or those around them, and on severa
occasions they have come down as fal
as the gatehOle. 1t would seem tha'
these boys would have more pride thai
to expose their person along the pub
lie thorOughfare, and it would serve
them right if our policemen would ar
rest few and make object lessons Ou
of them.

The Street and Sewer Committee
the Town Council have been havin
considerable trouble with the fus
tank stationed at the standpipe. III
tall poplar trees have been playiI
havoc with their roots, so much so
I to interfere with the automatic husl
ing. An investigation was made an
the roots were found to have almo
completely stopped the passage
water through the pipe. A gang
men were put to work Monday to Gle
out the pipe. The roots had grown
there so tight that it took consi
, cradle force to pull it out. 1t was
: remarkable growth of tiny roots WOW,
so thickly together as to make a lol
coil measuring in length betwee
seventy and seventy-five feet, whi
the inside was hollow. The work W
! watched with much interest.
The suggestion was made at t
: meeting of the Town Council last f
day night that q street crossing shOu
be placed on Commerce street at q
g intersection of Union street, from &
5 corners of the properties of Mrs. EmI

4 very timely thought and should me
with the approval of the Board. Il
fact of the matter is it should have be
done long ago. Union street is NO
! one Of our busy thoroughfares, not
say of the number who use that sire
in going to and fro to the EpiscoI

often a source of much annoyance
