Aprile will soon be here Then it won't be long after that until spring sets in, follered soon by summer, then ottum and winter agiu.
 Aint it jest turrible the way time fliesl It don't seem almost |. yeer ago that Hen Weathersby was hauled up before the court at the county seat for having scales in his store wich weighed a ounce shy to pound, and Mrs. Cy Hoslkins had row on the street with Abe Witherow's wife; that Melanethon Jones was ketched stealing ehickhens and Anne Hitler got fullern a goose at the Co. seat and stayed there three days. No, we can hardly realize, how fast the time has slipped by til we can scan the pages in our ledgers and see how much some of our tight-hsted subscribers owe US.
 We are glad 10 see spring approach, however We have looked forward to it for some months with a keen-edeed antieipashion, as you might say. Often when we have got outen a warm bed before daylight to build the fires durin the past winter and have stept onto a chunk of stove-wood in our bare feet we have sighed and wished in our heart for spring. When we have been out on the streets hunting up news items and it so blamed cold that our breth would freeze fast to our wtis- kers and we had to keep rubbin our ears to keep them from gettin frost bit, we have yearned for spring with deep yearn.
 Yes, gentle reader, we long for the time to come when we shall hear the first harbinger of spring, the hand or gan, the little birds enrolling their lays and, likewise the hens. We can hardly wait for the buds to begin to bust open and the Hours to bloom. Our eyes ache for the sight of the i'm nocent little lambkins gamboIling on ] the green and the voice of the king fisher and the fly-up-the-crick. We have had a long hard winter in our midst and we long for the gentle zef- fers of the summer time. Jasper Flaw kins saw two robins last week or the week before wich he says is sure sign that spring aint fur of. But Jasp is that neer-sighted he couldn't tell a robin from pigeon. Let us hope he was right.
 We have been shet in long enuff. We long for the blue sky and the green fields and new subscribers. How would 1t suit some of you dead beat subserib- CTS to pay us somethink on subscript- shion this spring1 We would take it very kindly.

 Miss MehItabel Whittacre has broke off her engagement with Leander Hite from the Co. seat that's been sparkin her for the past five yeers. Her father but tonholed him in the front parlor last Sunday and asst him man to man how much longer he expected him to support his daughter with nc sign of her gittin hitched up and Mrs. Whittacre's pash- ents purty night exhosted. Leander re- plida that jest as soon as he got money enufs to build a house he would take Mehitabel for better or worse and so forth. Lafe was so disgusted he up and told him if that was the case he would never get married at all and to leave the house before he lost his temper and never to come there again for enny more Sunday dinners and Buppera

TOWN PLOT AND KELLY
500 For Ciiy's Poor II Injunction
is Withdrawn.

/ The Town Plot Improvement 500
ciety is certainly on the trail Of Bak-
er Tom Kelly and has adopted the
following resolutions which speak for
themselves:
Whereas, this society having learn
ed that Mr. Kelly has suggested plan
to the board of charities to have a
person collect eatables, known as
left overs, odds and ends, scraps, etc
for the poor OF this city, and as for
obvious reasons, this plan is objec-
tionable to the worthy poor, inasmuch
as they have the same tastes and de-
sires for clean, wholesome food as
the more fortunate class to which
Mr. Kelly belongs; be it hereby
Resolved, that this society makes
this proposition to Mr. Kelly, which
has many advantages over his.
Providing that Mr. Kelly, ct al,
will through their attorneys, immedi-
ately withdraw their injunction pro-
ceedings, thus allowing the widening
OF james street to proceed at once,
which will provide work for many
men now idle, who do not desire
charity, we the Town Plot Improves
ment society hereby agree to donate
to the board of charities the sum OF
500 to be used in their relief work,
as an evidence of good faith We agree
to deposit this sum with the mayor,
comptroller, or other responsible
party Immediately upon notice that
Mr. Kelly, ct al, agree to our PROPOSE
ton.
The adoption of our proposition
will end useless and unnecessary liti-
cation, the outcome of which was
never doubtful in our mind, and will
further aid in relieving the poor,
which was the object of Mr. Kelly's
suggestion, and it will restore Mr.
Kelly to his former position as pub
lie spirited citizen, instead of being
an obstructionist to the welfare and
prosperity of a section where he re-
ceived his start in business life, and
be it further resolved, that copy OF
these resolutions be sent to Mr. Kelly
by registered mail and to each of the
daily newspapers.
Mr. Kelly when interviewed this
afternoon by a Democrat reporter
stated as yet he had not received
copy of the resolutions. The reporter
read them to him and in answer he
said
The reason why. objected to tho
widening of James street was because
| could not see and do not now uns
derstand why James street should bs
fifty feet wide when Bank street, the
principal thoroughfare, is only forty
feet in width. There is no necessity
of widening James street to run
trolley to Town Plot in view of the
width of Bank street and so | object
ed to the tearing down of buildings
on that street. You may say that |
have no intention of Withdrawing thA
injunction.
las for my recommendation in aid
ing the poor of the city it was given
in good faith. The members of the
Town Plot society are evidently try
ing to be sarcastic. They should read
my communication over again care-
fully, which I still maintain is good
