A Word From the Treasurer.

The question is often asked of the
collectors for street cleaning, What is
done with the money!" The ASSESS
ment, ten cents a week, could be small
Ter if all would pay. The society is
fortunate in finding so few willing to
allow others to pay their assessment.
II --ere was not general willingness
to meet this small expense the work
would have to stop. The wages of the
two men employed by the committee
amounts to $3.50 per week. For the
month of May the balance over this
was small. For the month OF June
forty-two cents. For July larger, but
August will probably wake it even.
At the end of the se<son the treasurer
will make a statement of moneys Sc
cured and expended. TREASURER

Shall Buell. Post Take the Band?

One of the most notable gatherings
of the Grand Army ever held, no
doubt, will be that which will assem-
BILE at Cincinnati from September 9Th
to 10th next. Buell. Post has about
completed arrangements to go in a
body. 1t has been suggested that the
Marietta band accompany them and
head the column of Buell. Post on the
grand march of the veterans.
Marietta will take pride in having
the band go, and it only remains to
name some way in which the citizens
can furnish the necessary funds to en-
able the boys to take the band along.
We understand that their arrange
ments are about completed as to all
other phases of the trip, including
special car, quarters while in Cincin-
natl, etc.
1t has been proposed to give a lawn
fete in the city park, for the whole
town to join in; the band to discourse
sweet music while the patrons of the
enterprise are eating ice cream and
cake. The space in front of the shell
music stand could be enclosed with
strong ropes and inside of this seats
for people to sit and listen to the
music could be provided. Ice cream
tables set in another part of the en-
closure could be provided, and all that
will be necessary to do to get the cake
they want to sell with the cream will
be to go around and ask the ladies of
the city and they will get all they
want. Then say ten cents for ice
cream and cake and a seat to occupy
during the concert. The G. A. r. boys
ought to make enough in one night to
pay the full amount the band may
charge for their services in going to
Cincinnati.
If such an entertainment should be
undertaken, it ought to be in the near
future and on some night that would
not interfere with other appointments
1t might be held on the same night as
the regular concert, Thursday evening
Why not? On that night you would
get the crowd and sell your cream and
make the money, and that is what the
occasion would be for, no matter what
night it might be held on.
If the thing is properly gotten up
and properly advertised it is bound to
De success. S. ]. H.

BeverIy-Waterford.

The picnic at Watertown is now a
thing of the past. The crowd this
year was not so large as before, but
fully 5000 farmers and friends assem-
bled to celebrate the bountiful crops
of 1898. The speaking was above the
average and the music, under the
leadership Of Prof. D. Ford, was the
crowning amusement of the day. Coal
Run defeated the Marietta Grays in a
game of base ball. The grounds were
knee high in grass and the ball was
lost so much that the rs runs made by
Coal Run were on lost balls. The
score stood 25 to in favor of Coal
Run. The order was good with the
exception of drunken row late in the
afternoon. Sheriff McAllister stopped
the scrap in shor- order. A few run
aways and one baby lost" are all the
incidents. The ball at night was
largely attended.

many dances have been held, was

found it. Temporary relief convinced
them they were right, and SO they laid
a return of the pain to return OF the
complaint, when in fact the disease was
there all the time. Backache is not an
aching OF the back, but an aching OF
the kidneys, and remedies must reach
the kidneys and be perfect in their
work at that, before permanent relief
is secured. Doan's Kidney Pills are
perfect in their work and permanent in
their cure. A backache gives way at
| once because the kidneys resume their
normal functions and there is nothing
TO ache. There is nothing so hard to
com bat as the evidence of our sen 'es,
and yet all who believe us on the sub
ject OF backache are glad they did be-
cause of the cure.
