This has brought two disputes forward: on which side of the street is the walk to be built, and who should pay for it. property owners on the east side should do it, others that it should be along the creek and the Hale estate, who own the creek, pay it. The boro attorney says in that event council would have to pay the bill. At the council meeting the situation was discussed in every phase, and nothing was determined. The man who can properly adjost this matter and will clearly point out to is, will be entitled to a chromo. - - Another Warning Ham Otte, the cigar man, recently | purchased a shot gun and while band- ling it bad & surprise.

Even in | the area of anthraciie coal she barely | exceeds the state of Rhode Island and Massachusetts, while in point of extent of bituminous territory, not Jess than eight states exceed her area. with the possibility that some of the Roexy mountain states and territories may prove to contain larger areas when com. | | {expect to hear of trouble on the Nile | when the donkey boys get back and | find that with European familiar with | | plete geological information shall have | been obtained.
