A Show of English Egotism

FTOH tHe IOndon ChrOnIc1e.
 The little differences between life in London and New York are by no means all to the credit to the latter Our let- ter post crosses London in a couple of hours; theirs often takes couple of days to cross New York. In London ths goods you purchase in the morning may be sent home before the evening: in New York you are lucky if they arrive next day. The parcel post. too, is quite a new thing in America, and the telegraph de- partment has not vet advanced to the stage of allowing prepayment. Add to this such facts as the absence of "boots' in the hotels-the guests having to re- sort to the street corner "shiners"-and the display of dustbins even in fash ionable streets, long after mid-day, and 1t will be seen that the smart and "slow" of which the American is SO fond when comparing himself with us. are not always to be applied as he applies them.

Wilson is clamoring for a concrete
walk from the Campbellsville pike to
the college buildings. He says that
the walk is badly needed and if the
City Council has authority to have
the work done, it should act; if it is
the duty of the property owners, llv-
ing on the street, to build the walk,
then they should be forced to do it.

should take up.

A spirit of improvement has struck
Jamestown which we believe will ulti-
mately build up the place. There is
no good reason why Jamestown should
not be a lively business point-a little
more enterprise is all that is needed.
A number of residences have been
built in the last six months and 9TH
ers will be erected, and many will be
improved The public square is about
one-half rocked, and it is believed
that it will be completed during the
coming year. Concrete has been put
down at several residences and partly
around the square walks. To invite
new corners, town must be made in
viting. While improvements are in
progress, property will advance.
