CITIZENS LIKE THE ORDINANCE


William Brown, a country negro, was
arrested last night by Officer Avis and
locked UP In the police station William
at once proceeded to demoralizc all avail
able furniture in his cell and otherwise
acted as crazy man. Brown sooereo
down in about two, hours, and was one or
the most repentant men ever seen behind
the bars. He told a pitiful story of leav-
ing his wife and eight small children in
the country and coming to Manchester.
GOOD ORDINANCE.
The ordinance recently adopted by the
City Council requiring all fish stands and
laundries on Hull Street to connect with
the city sewers has probably received
more favorable comment than any ono
ever adopted in the city.
The new rails which are being put
down on Perry Street. are the very heaE-
lest that can he gotten. and skilled work
men are putting them down. One side
has been completed and before the win
ter is over the street from the sheds to
Seventh Will present az good appearance.
MAY NOT RUN.
Referring to a recent publication that
Mr.. Robert S. Rives will be a candidate
for Commemorative attorney at the
spring election Mr. Rives says ne VIII
not be candidate if the present in
cunbent, Mr.. Carter Atkisson, wishes
to hold the Office. Mr.. AtSsson VIII
undoubtedly oppose Mr.. Maurice for the
mayoralty.
The .'move-on'' ordinance recently
adopted in this city is sadly neglected at
some places on Hull Street. At the cor
ner Of Cowardin Avenue and Hull Street
there is a crowd of boisterous boys VINO
"hang OUT nearly the whole afternoon,
and lust little further UP large crowd
of negro sports stand around ano MAKE
comments on those passing by. some III
nortant cases under the new ordinance
might be made at this corner. Two Gu
zens were complaining yesterday about
the language used there as ehey "1e
passing with ladies.
