in limiting the present. bond issue "a,
$4,000, which tl;ey tainkwill be ap.;
proved by our citizens. II SO, then
they claim II TO be due them that tho
council, issue the bonds in small de,
thus giving small pur.
chasers an equal chance with the
larger. so that one or TWO firms may
not virtually own all Of them.
Another Prospective Industry.
There is a fair prospect for the
erection Of large pottery on the.
Industrial addition in the near future;
The planttis expected 10 employ 200.
men in all. And why not since we
have the sand, clay and fuel so close
at hand. There are other important
Industries waiting for the building OF
the B. & %. switch to give them ready
and easy transportation. Plenty OF
unused capital is only waiting for
profitable Investment, and with the
breaking up of winter the time and
place seems at hand. Many who scan
the horizon OF probabilities, and keep
their hand upon the business pulse Of
the country prophesy that this Is go
ing to be the most prosperous year
since '9G.
New Street Cleaner.
The snow and ice is now giving
way and leaving behind the debris o.
many weeks accumulation. We take
1t for granted that many families o.
aesthetic taste. MS well as firms doine
business, may be DESTROYS of having
the sidewalks and streets cleaned Ii
front OF their premises prior TO The
street commissioners ability to gel
round 10 them--since he cannot bt
everywhere that lie is needed at the
self same time. We would therefore
most chcerfully recommend all sucl
! 10 call on the N. C. Steele Drug Co., Of
| Water. street. Clark has a new device
of his own invention, and automatic
in It's action, which he Is now intro
ducing to the general public. 1t works
without any physical exertion upor
the part OF the operator whatever
after having once only set 1t in mo
ton. II lie mistakes the motive o
your calling, however, and doubts
your sincerity thinking that you arr
only quizzing him-since he has ye
no patent on It. then be frank ant
kindly ask him to explain to you tn
"modus opcrandi" of his new stree
cleaner" He will at once make s.
clear to yoll that a child can under
stand 1t, now that near Merchan
street yesterday, after n sudden twill
| in the air he dropped to a seat upo
the ice under him and was ready 70
business. Without any further effoi
on his part the machine was now |
operation. He swept down the sidt
walk with fearful momentum, MOI
ping up everything In the way befor
him, until he reached the alley. Herr
the pedal braces of his anatomy, sc
at the right angle, veered into tn
!. street and shot him clear through III
| derneath wagon standing by bl
J, which he had no time to stop and loa
t from the debris he had scooped Il
g before him, until he landed In the gll
i ter some distance below and thei
i, dumped the alluvial deposit into
|. except what still chung TO his Clot
g ing. Having reganed his perpendi
ular position lie now skulked TO Il
store as fast as he could. and procee
ed to clean up the new street clea
err" II Tor he, we might say was In
:, terrible predcament, his pants. co
and overcoa, all soaked with wat
!. and plastered with the slime of t
: street deposit gathered in the ira
! before him! But it was a good clea
:, err withal, having left nothing b
clean surface behind 1t. and at his /
quest therefore we recommend
upon trial 10 others.
