Authorities are endavoring to discover
some clue to the band of vandals who ran
riot on Front street, at Florence, late
Saturday night and smashed street lamps

midnight, presumably the work of gang
of DRINKS. Not only were the globes on
the gas lamps smashed, but In some cases
the whole lamp was destroyed and ever
torn from the pedestal. A more de
spicable piece of vandalism the town has
never seen, and just punishment awaits thu
members of the gang when apprehended.

come to the relief of Mr.. Engle, who's

Holly fire department for the preparation
which it made to respond to the call sen
In for assistance, but whose presence wa
rendered unnecessary by change in tn
