As we have lived away from Salisbury
long enough to be almost a stranger to
you again, it may be well enough to give
& sort of an account of our stewardship
in the west, and being naturally bashful,
we will let others do the talking. By
reading this column you will find some
sparkling compliments, and some from
very high newspaper authority. We do
not publish theseunsolicited compliments
becanse we are vain, bul in order that
you may be able to form some idea of
what we will do for Salisbury in the
newspaper line, if a liberal patronage is
given us, all of which we intend to mer-
it... We could publish many more such
notices us the following, but space will
Hot permit.
From the leading paper of Nebraska.
Mr. P. L. Livengood, who has heieto-
fore conducted in an able manner the
CARLETON WEEKLY Times, will remove
to Salisbury, Pennsylvania, aboat Octo-
ber 1. Mr. Livengood has made a good
paper of Tae Times, and ‘through its
columns has rendered good service in aid
of the growth and development of Carle-
ton and Thayer county and his removal
from there is to be regretted by the citi-
zens in the vicinity.—Nebraska State

From the Daily Nebraska State Journal of Sept.
18th, 1891.
The Journal notes with regret that Mr.
P. L. Livengood, publisher of Tug TIMES,
at Carleton, announces in his last week's
issue that he has decided to suspend THE
Tinks and will move the plant to Salis-
bury, Pa. {I'ng TiMrs was one of the
most sprightly and interesting local week-
lies'in the state. and we believe the citi-
zens of Carleton will regret that they did
not furnish Mr. Livengood with a sup-
port that would justify him in remaining
in that eity. A live local paper is a tower
of strength to any community.

man of Carleton.

The CarueTox TIMES in its last issue
bid adieu to its many readers, folds its
tent, and in the near future ‘will move to
Pennsylvania. Livengood’s former home.

to our office for about three years, two
here and one at Byron, and we must say
that although we did not agree political:

From Rev. E. J. Bird, M. E. minister of Carleton.
FRIEND LiveNaooD:—The removal of
your paper will make a larger hole in
Carleton than six brick blocks can fill ap.
From the Hebron Journal, the leading paper of
Thayer county, Neb,
In his last week’s issue, Mr. Peter L.
Livengood, the able editor of the CARLE-
TON TIMES. announced discontinuance of
publication, and the contemplated re-
moval of himself, family and newspaper
plant to Pennsylvania, where he will
start another paper at his old home town.
Under his management,
has been one of the best and brightest
weeklies published in the state. It has
been fearless and outspoken, and what-
ever faults its editor possessed (and no
one is perfect) cowardice was not one of
them, 3
It really seems too bad that a paper of
the worth of the CARLETON TIMES should
discontinue, while so many things. wrong-
ly posing as “newspapers”, disgrace the
fair field of journalism. :
We hope Mr. Livengood will realize
his fondest anticipations: in his ‘eastern
location.
From W.J. Green, ex-sheriff of Thayer county,
Neb.
DEAR Str: —I am sorry you are going
away. I havealways felt that you were)
a’‘friend of mine. We shall miss you in
many ways. My wife says she does not
know how we can get along without your
paper. Well, we wish you success. Ac:
cept our best wishes for your welfare.
Yours truly, W. J. GREEN.
From the Oak Citizer.
P. L. Livengood, editor of the CARLE-
TON TIMES, gave his farewell bow to the
people in his issue of Sept. 2nd, in which
he gave good reasons for quitting and
some sound adyice to his patrons. Mr.
Livengood has published Tee Times for
nearly five years and will be missed by
the community in which he has dwelt
during this time. He will go to Salis:
bury, Pa., where he will run a newspa-

"The editor of the CARLETON TIMES has

ton the best paper she has ever had. and
one that will be greatly missed in this

what they have lost when the paper is

better openings where their services are

It is, in the main, inhabited by a good
and intelligent class of people.
It has the satisfaction of knowing that
there is more money paid out every
month in its immediate vicinity than
there is paid out in six months in all the
rest of the county combined.
It has excellent opportunities “to boom
a great deal, and if it don’t it will be its
own fault. :
It has a printing office that can turn
outmost all kinds of fine job printing

office.
It has lots of Bandioine widows and
pretty girls, to say nothing of its genial
and goodlooking young men and bach-
elors.
It has very few old maids, but what
few it has, are far from being homely or
being dead stock in the matrimonial
market.
It has several good lodges of secret so-

SOME THINGS THAT SALISBURY
NEEDS,
It is sadly in need of a good opera
house and town hall.
It needs a good drug store. It isa
shame that a town the size of this has no
drug store.
It needs a good furniture store as bad-
ly as any other one thing, and there is
undoubtedly a bonanza here for some
live man in that line.
It needs a good policeman to look after
its numerous mischievous youngsters. =
It needs better lighted streets.
Ic needs mole new pavement and re-
pairing of old pavement. If this matter
is not speedily attended to, the town may
have to pay heavy damages some day.
Some of onr pavements are really danger-
ous to life and limb,
We need better passenger accommoda-
tions on the Balisbury .ailroad.
We need 4 little more public enterprise
in our town, and there is no use to deny
it. We must admit the truth, even .if it
does hurt a litle,
We need an ordinance that will pro-
hibit this fool tin can serennding when
anybody gets married. This town is get-
ling too big fo tolerate that kind of fool-
ishness and hoodlumism, We have a
good band that can attend to the sere-
nading act.
We need an ordinance that will puta
stop. to boys loating and y elling about
town at neatly all hours of the night.
We don’t suppose the boys will like this
item, and doubtless we wouldn’ t, either,
if we were a boy, but all the same the
welfare of the town, their own welfare
and common decency demand that some-
thing must be done to abate all such nuj-
sances. 4
We need better discipline and deport-
ment among the school children When
the schools are dismissed.
We need fewer loafers about the church
doors of this town when religious ser-
vices are dismissed. For some reason
this seems to be a nuisance that every
small town is cursed with, Why
Why not put a stop to it?
We need fire brick works, for we have
oceuns of the best kind of fire clay.
We need a good foundry, as ourold
one is about played out.
We need more manufactories of alld
kinds, and it will pay the people of this
vicinity big to rustle hard and offer big
inducements to secure all legitimate €n-
terprises that can. be secured.
We need water works and electric light,
but the latter had perhaps better be de-
ferred until some time *‘in the sweet by
and by.” However, the eledtric light
plant at the extract works might possibly
be increased and the town supplied with
light at a very moderate cost. -
We need more boxes in our postofiice,
and good fock boxes, at that.
We need one and the same name for
our town, postoffice and shipping station, «
This thing of the town being called Salis-
bury, the postofice Bik Lick, and our
shipping station West Salisbury. is a very
awkward and bunglesome arrangement,
It causes an endless amount of annoy:
ance and inconvenience, and it is 8 won
je it?
i mmanity did not bring about s a change
n this state of affairs long ago.
The town also needs a few other things,
of which we may speak in the future.
And all these things are also true, even
as they are recorded. ete. Therefore, let
us all work for the necessary changes
and improvements. -
