prove it by producing any wreckage.
In the advertising columns this week
the Democrat is pleased to have the new
schedule of prices for light and power.
This is pleasing to most consumers as
reduction, even if not all we desired. To
the proprietors of the Democrat 1t does
not give the same sensation of pleasure.
In the shuttle of rates we got left. Care
full computation shows US that II for the
next year we use the same amount OF
light and power as for the past year, we
shall save 1851 on our light bill, and pay
s. 40 more for power. Net difference to
our disadvantage, $3.50.

they found everything fine among the

happy and cheerful, but it certainly Is
heart breaking to look upon that regi-
ment of about two thousand young men.

think of this cruel war they are prepar-
ing to enter. They are q nice, neat,
clean, respectable looking regiment, and
