TO TlIK ESTKKMF.1I GKNTMCMKN OF THK
Cmracir.:
Most Worthy Sirs Pardon me If In thus
breaking in upon your quiet every-day life
In any way disturb the methodical regu
larity of your actions, but I cannot restrain
natural desire to make a few suggestions
which Your Most Worthy Body has over
looked in the rush of business affairs con
sequent to the macadamizing of First street.
The latter a worthy Improvement, but, by
the way, a very slow one. First, the con
dition of the ParkshonM be Improved; the
Cauhon Advocatk has frequently called
our attention to this, but you a t wisely In
paying no attention to it. Always remom
ber that "WE aro the Council," and that
public opinion Is naturally rebellious. Last
year several hundred dollars.were spent In
laying this beautifully located plot of
ground out In walks; this year a Commend
able Economy causes you to save about
twenty-fiyc dollars by letting tho grass grow
knee deep In those walks. The point
of this is, that next year or the year after,
the Surveyor and A Hundred Dollars will
be required to uncover the same walks.
This is certainly yery creditable and will
reflect splendidly on Your Manaccmonl.
Secondly, The walk from the Valley
House to the new bridge Is a splendid piece
of work, at a very low figure. I don't feel
like contemning this, because it is about on
a plane witli numerous other things done
in this town for the last quarter of a cei
tury. The Intention is well, but the job is
devilish poor. Thirdly, First street is
obstructed with porches, boxes, Ac, Ac,
over which pedestrians stumble on dark
nights when tho moon don't fill Its required
duty and tho street lamps are not lighted.
Willi these matters you, of course, have
nothing to do, I only refer to them as a
means of showing how careless somo people
really are. Again, I would suggest that
you continue to pay no attention to public
criticism, as a rule, It is only engendered by
people who are jealous ot the position vou
hold as leaders In shanlnc the improvr
ments of our flourishing little towu. In
after time the wise and judicious court e
yon have always pursued will be recognized
In some filling and eloquent manner, and
your enemies will "cry aloud for shame.'
there aro some people in town mean
enough to object to the erection of a hose
house; now this Is a very necessary thin;
and I believe has your approval, and very
wisely so, too. The suggestion that the
hose be kept In somo burn or stable Is tie-
grading to the town and the Fire Company,
and arrangements should be made to erect
a building suitable for such purposes.
again ask your pardon, If I have in any way
disturbed job, and oonelude with saying
that you shall hear from me again, and
that I am
i our Humble Servant,

Il will be gratifying news for the many
friends of Prof. F, J. Stealer, who for two
years so ably filled the position of principal

The complete novel in Lippiucott's Maga
zine for September Is contributed by Kath
arine Pearson Woods, author of that re
markable book, "Jctzerott, Shoemaker."
Miss Woods, like Mr. Edward Bellamy, has
won sudden and wide fame by the advocacy
of .certain forms of socialism, and Ibis, her
latest novel, Is directed against tho "Sweat
ing System," a system which has been ex
citing n great deal of antagonism both in
America and England, and which stands
greatly In need of reform. The story Is
entitled "The Jark of the Beast," and has
that power about it which springs from an
earnest purpose, while It Is crowded with
strong senecs and dramatic situations, it
Is a story that eyoryboily will want to read.
A sketch of Miss Woods, by Hester Craw
ford Uorscy, appears In the body of the
magazine.
