Our Social Chat.

After the stormy ending of the
rough winter season, it would be
strange if the most apathetio of us
did not hail with joy the Easter
promise; and with bright, warm
sunshine showing, every dent and
scratch on the furniture, every
bruise and break of the wall
paper, or soil and stain on the
carpet, we are too ready to rush
into the work of house cleaning
forgetful that there may be stormy
times still before us-oold, wet
days, raw winds, frost and general
discomfort, which only the genial
heat of the morning fire indoors
can turn aside from bringing us
coughs. colds, aches. pains and
fretting sickness.
Whatever else you do, leave one
room untouched, with a stove
ready for use, about which to
gather in the chill of early morn
ing or late evening Don't be too
hurried in getting out of the fan
nels and thick clothing, and do
leave the blankets on the beds
until they have served the full
term of the changeable season.
Remember, too, that you will
make double speed if you will put
nothing away for the summer with
ont mending and cleaning. Give
everything a good summing. and
washing up, patching and darning
Let the children wear the worn
woolens as long as they may, for
children have a habit of getting
too large for their last years cloth
ing during the summer months,
and unless you have others "in
line" to which the outgrown gar
ments may be handed down, the
laying away mean a clear loss to
you.
Remember. too land this is for
the brothers that you are going
to have a fine vegetable garden
this year, and are going to spring
a surprise on the good wife by
doing the heavy work for her,
Vegetables and fruits.are cheaper
than drugs, and far more effective,
and you are going to take a pride
in having plenty of both, in SO far
as your own individual efforts can
bring it about. Let the boys and
girls have little garden of their
own, if they wish to, and don't be
too free with your overseeing their
labors. Let them run it them
selves, and learn to be seIf-reliant.

A Good Showing.

The Financial Statement, of the
town, published last week, certainly
presents healthy condition of our
finances, and speaks volumes for
the present administration. Four
years ago our city was some $13. 600
in debt with Main and Sixth
Streets in deplorable condition.
To day these streets are elegantly
paved with brick, the outstanding
indebtedness is paid off, and we
note that there is balance in the
treasury in each fund. AS soon as
the weather permits. these streets
are to be cleaned off properly, all
rubbish removed from the Gross
streets, the pavements to be re.
placed with cement and brick, and
a general overhauling of the whar-
yes. During the coming year LIST
street, Wand, Ohio and Kanawha
Streets are to be graded and gra.
veled, with perhaps a continuation
of brick paving up Wand Truly,
our oitizsns are to be congratulated.
