Ye editor having come in contact with something real fresh recently many of our readers are anxiously looking for the News Item to some what represent a live wire with i full current turned on a harmles assailant. We do not choose to us< our columns to fight personal matter of no consort to the public. We do however, insist on being treated witl due respect by public servants and when this is not done the public wil hear in quick order and short metei of the kind of officers they place al our service. This we propose to do in any event. We read and hear much of the mistakes made in high life, but re cently a mistake was made that will interest tbe people of this commu nity. When the furnace was put ii the cellar of the Episcopal church last winter, part of the contract made was to repair the chimney. Fully a year has passed and the chimney re mains as intact as ever. Only three weeks ago a mason was sent here from Dushore with the explicit di rections to fix the chimney of the church above the hotel, with a scaf folding on. Now it happened that the Methodist church was being painted and had a scaffolding on while the scaffolding on the Episco. pal church had only been removed the day previous. There seemed to be no doubt in the mind of the ma son that the chimney of the M. E. church was the right one, and straightway he informed the trustees of that church of his intentions, who were willing that the work should be done providing no bill be sent in Hard and long the mason worked in the cold, and finally, with a sigh of relief, finished his job and decend ed to the ground only to be inform ed by a trustee of ,the church that possibly it was the Episcopal church and not the M. E. church that need ed the chimney repaired. The poor mason after paying his hotel bill took the next train for Dushoie. The situation now stands as follows: • The Methodist church is in a new [ chimney; the chimney of the Episco pal church is as intact as ever; a contractor is still out of his money and a job is awaiting the first mason 1 that comes along.
