Band Stand Surroundings.
While the city is engaged in beautifying and the council is di-
recting the property holders to lay walks, it might be in order to
direct attention to the surroundings of the band stand, which has
just been painted, and the fountain, which has just been erected.
A good walk on Meyers Avenue and Centre street at the band stand
ought to be erected at an early day. A good walk would remove an
eyesore and at the same time would harmonize better the surround-
ings of the new fountain.
WHO SHALL BE THE NEW
BURGESS?
Mr. Editor:—In reply to your arti-
cle of last week, as a citizen of the
town I would like to suggest a few
names that might be considered by
the voters of the town as worthy of
this office.jln suggesting these names
I do not§propose any particular name
as the party to be chosen. .I feel
sure that the people are wondering
who wouldgbe the best burgess. The
burgess should be a Christian gentle-

The people are hungry for amusement and this appetite must
be appeased. Times are changing rapidly, the home fireside, with
the family circle complete, association with the members of the fam-
ily or an hour with the masters of literature no longer satisfies the
people. The manner of life has changed. For the man to work
during the day and spend the evening with his family is out of date.
Respectfully Yours,
A Citizen.
