THE work on the sewer on Pleas
ants street is being vigorously pushed
and it will soon be done. The thing
that holds the completion of the work
back is the fact that the dirt when
it is replaced has to be tamped SO
tightly to make it take its original

to Chickamaugua and sending the
men straight TO Cuba the war depart
ment has taken very popular move.

ers had to come out earlier this

THE death of Amos Harris re-
moves one Of our best colored citi-

the glory of d soldier life and have de-
cided that after all Morgantown and
mother are the two things that they

JUDGE HAeANs is holding the reg
ular term of Circuit Court here this
week. His health is much better
than it has been for some time, and
it is the sincere hope of his many
