Some miscreants removed several
boards from Tie sidewalk near the Meth
odst church last sunday night, but luck
lily the dastardly thick was discovered III
time to prevent anyone from sustaining
probable serious injury. Words are in
adequate TO express the. contempt Tor the
perpetrators of such acts as this. All we
| have to say is that their mission Oh earth
| Iya
will furnish the strychuinc and gladly
print their obituaries gratis.
In several of our large cities the SER
want eiils are out on a strike demanding
| the eight hour system for days work.
We naturally suppose this will be fol-
lowed up with decree Icy the nurses de-
cla,ing that they will not look after baby
between the hours of one and six Il. m.
We wonder ii these healtless creatures
have no compassion on the poor papa
who works hard all day and is then called
on to "trek" the floor a: these ghostly
hours trying to amuse the ''sweet little
thing"
We all have our troubles which are
borne with various degrees OF resignation.
One Aberdeen citizen is afflicted with a
burden recently acquired through the adj
vice Of the family physician which he
thinks requires true Spartan courage to
bear. In the prescribed dietary the word
whisky was stricken out from that part OF
the daily habits whi:h allowed IA "sniiter
just before dinner and in lieu thereof
was substituted castor oil to be taken in
liberal dose before retiring. The citi.
zen feels he could stand the loss Of the
nterdicted liquor, but he doesn't look
pleasant when he contemplates swallow
! ing the amendment.
During the absence Of the editor on his
wedding tour, he engaged our services &c
/ look after the local columns this week
Owing to our belief on the political ques.
ton Mr.. Carney very carefully put strict
censorship on the editorial columns, So
we wish to inform the reading public that
we stand responsible for all declarations
in this issue-barring the editorial page
even to the patent medicine ads. With
this brief explanation we will close, by
acknowledging on The part OF the HERAII
force, some delicious wedding cake from
! the editOr.-lIOcAl. EDITOR
