and II Ben Tiliinan will honor US with

4 large crowd Of friends went 70 the
station 10 see Mr.. Ei.:wGen and mis- bride
of, and what they did .or them whl.e
waiting for the train which was late
was plenty. When the train arrived
they gave the passengers rice shower

ers did not care II he vas the governor,
he had 20 take the r:ce like other folks.
and be good, so he received what they
gave him, mostly down his back, with
his usual smile.
Tie attention OF the school trustees is
called 70 the acoustics OF The school au-
di,orium, and we suggest that they op-
eu up correspondence with the architect
with Z view 70 DIRECT The miserable
echos in the auditorium. On last Friday
night at the Joshua Simpkius show the
audience might Is veil have been any
where else for the good the show did
them. Scarcely word could be under
stood from the stage: and unless some
thing is done 70 remedy this defect the
magnificent auditorium may IS vel! be
abandoned.
Manning seems to be an easy mark for
burglars, within the past months three
oure!aries have been committed on
stores, notwithstanding there IS always
. policeman and 4 private watchman on
guard every night Ga las: Saturday
night the store O: the W. 4. Jenkinson
Co., was entered. and the cash register
with, nothing seems 70 te
missing but 4 pistol. AS IL the other
the robber does not seem 10
want goods. he is after the cash and in
each case he attempted 70 ROB the cash
register The entry into the JeukinSon
store was made through window in
the millinery department.
The carnival is soce. and 30 tears
shed. This was decent set so IL: as
we were able TO see and hear, but it was
3 carnival all the same. and carniva!S
stuck in the main thorough-fSces are
nuisance-;he best o: them. We do no:
believe council has any right 10 cen: OUT
the public highways, these belong 10
the public ia and out OF the town, and il
another carnival is licensed 10 come
here they should be required 10 stay of
the public highways. Il is q socegone
conclusion that council would not con-
slider for g moment the renting ouc OF
the streets in The business part OF town
70 local people, then wav 10 Strangers:
Every fellow that paid MS town tex
brass OF the make ug Of couoc!! aS
though the council deserves all the cred
it for the double taxation. The council
is entitled 70 credit for some things, for
instance, it deserves much credit for
the manner in which it keeps the streets
clean. and 700, it deserves credit for Civ
ing the people an opportunity 10 holr
the barker of the snake show, and have
their palms read by the fortune teller.
they also are 20 be praised so- being able
70 squeeze money out OF the tight wads
Of tie town. Council IS the only source
some our property holders
dump their hoardiuSs and part with the
lucr,e with vain regrets. For these aud
other blessings let Us all be thankful 10
the gentlemen who sit on the lid OF the
towns treasury.
