NUST FURNISH GAS.

The City Dads Serve Notice on the Natural Gas Company to

that Effect.

The natural gae question was the magnet which tilled the couucil chamber and made standing room at premium Monday night. The citizens grievance committee presented the citizens' side of the matter, while Supt. McAlevy looked after the gns company's interests. The argument waxed warm and was along the line of that tuiide atthe indignation meeting at the court house two week's ago. At the conclusion the gas committee of the couucil withdrew for a few minutes and upon their return Councilman Bintord submitted the following resoulutions which were unanimously adopted:

For the past few weeks

the supply of natuial gas in the city bas been utterly inadequate tr the reasonable and necessary demands for domestic purposes, causing suffering and inconvenience to its citizens, and

WHEREAS, The per vice rendered by the gas company in maintaioiog any uniform or reliable pressure, bas been such as to render ihe use of natimtl gas unsafe and dangerous, smd

WHEREAS, We, the common council of the city of Crawforusville, believe and maintain that our city as a corporate body and its citizens collectively, by virtue of the laws of this state, of franchises granted and accepted, and of contracts made, have become invested with undeniable rights to a suf ficient and adequate amount of natural gas at least for domestic purposes.

WHERHAS, We believe that such rights have not been properly recog•ized and protected by said company, but that the gas bas been diverted to other uses!

at other places aloiu

and adjacent to its line of supply, and by other acts, and WHEREAS, We believe that the said gns compauy has sufficient gas and are able, if thoy are so disposed and will take the proper steps, to furnish to all the citizens of this city a supply of fuel gas fully adequate to the demands for domestic use, therefore be it

RESOLVED, That it is the will of this body as the legal representatives of this city and its citizens, that an urgent and positive demand be made upon the said gas company to immediately adopt Buch plans and methods, and to put the same in operation that will furnish to the citizens of this city a sufficient and ade quate amount of gas for domestic purposes and Jurther, that for the security of property and lie that such regulations as to the control of the pressure be immediately adopted and put in force that will guarantee to the consumers a comparatively uniform prpssure, within the bounds of safety at its maximum, and that for this purpose, a committee be appointed and instructed to make eueta demand, either in person or otherwise as they may deem best, of the proper officers of the said gas company: and to request that their reply, if an\ IH desired to he made, should be made cither to this common council on or before the 5th Jay ot December, 1808.

Dinr* n, rpct-ir of St. Mary's yesterday announced to his congregation that he will said for Europe or February 1, to ln ah ent three months, lie wi'l reach Rome in time to attend the i!aborate services held during the holy week.

HOG HEAVEN.

Hurrah! forLottand crossing.

Frank Miller ate oysters at Alcano's last Sunday Mrs. Emma Stout returned from Mo lotte last week.

Walter is happy once more. He says' "Two is company, three is a crowd." Owing to the scarcity of gas iu the city, the Black Creekers are tiliug up their saws and grinding their axes.

Fiank Stout says those sweet potatoes he bought of Bill Stout were exceptionally sound, not a rotten one in the lot—metaphorically speaking.

Harry Stout is the champion corn shucker of Black creek. He shucks ninety bushels per day, and one afternoon last week, be yanked the shucks off ot sixty bushele.

Billy Viers shoved me some strawberries, last Sund »y, growing in flower pots in his cellar, some of them being half ripe. Mr. Viers raises the largest and finest berries in the county.

Miss Verna Viers returned from Illinois on Wednesday, having concluded not to remain until Christmas. She brought back with her two large Shanghi roosterd that can out-crow any bird on the place.

Miss Ivy Zook, who has been rusticating at Wingate for a week, at the home of her uncle, Dr. Will Swank, passed through llog Heaven, la6t week, on her way home. Ivy captured a number of hearts in Wingate and made "mash" after "mash."

George Shanklin, living near the crose roaas, had a narrow escape last week While out hunting he attempted to set bis rifle in a fence corner holding his thumb over the muzzle, when the gun was accidently discharged. The bullet tore off the end of his thumb and passed through the rim of his hat.

Some time ago, old Sandy purchased a bouse in Prairie Edge of Colon Blankenship. This week he had it moved to his place, just east of where the old Black Horse tavern used to stand Eli Chadwick, of Mace, had the con tract of moving the structure. Quite a crowd collected at the Britton ford to see the house cross the bridge, which was quite a sight.

Wide Awake, you old parrot, you may talk about my "false teeth and yellow wig" all you please, but don't copy my items and p«loi them off as original. Oh, you miserable plagiarist You try to make me out a liar by saying that the lady who took thd prize at Black Creek, is not of Wide Awake It is evident that you don't know the boundaries of your burg. The lady lives in the heart of Wide Awake, and if you dispute my word again, I'll have Sandy hold you while I rawhide you.

A couple of years ago a man, not fur frorr. this locality, bought two fine twin pear trees of a fruit tree auent. They were both vigorous, healthy-looking trv't-e. One of them he named "McKmley," the other he called "Prosperity," and planted them sif'c by side in his garden. Last spring their branches looked like billows of snowy bloom and eave promise of a large yield, 'lhis fall the man went into the garden to see how his trees were getting along. He found "Mac," teeming with fruit, but poor "Pros." was dead as a door nail. This is co fable, but the application is plain.

Last Sunday night, as Sandy ami I were returning from Billy Viers'in the hazy light of the moon, we had a desperate tight with tire. Near the railway crossing, close to the John Shanklin farm, a spark from a passing train had ignited a large heap of withered leaves. The tire spread rapidly. The flames, fanned by the breeze, blazed ami crackled till the leaves looked like golden ferns. They licked up a pile of dry twigs and wero leaping for the fence that runs down to the cattle guard. Sandy and 1, seeing something had to be done, jumped on the tire with both feet, and after stamping and pawing for about fifteen minutes, we had the fire under control and saved the fence. scorched by petticoat and arid burned a hole in my new stripped hose.

On Sunday last Mr. and Mrs. Williiiril Paine. Mr. and Mrs. Sandy Morrie, Mr^. George Stout, and your humble servant spent a delightful day with Mr. and Mrs. William Viers. at 1ln*ir pleasant home, near Pine Grove. Mrs. Viers, like all her sisters, Itnons lnnv lo pii-as--the palat ). She not only a ciever cook but an excellent woman, genial and generous. here is an old and true saying that, "The sum of all that rnak-s a just man happy consists in the well choosing his wife." Judged by this saying Billy Vloiv is a happy man for he made

good choice.

My land, Saudy, who is that beast of a man you spolfe about last week? I think any wothan that will tolerate

BUCH a mean man is a darn fool. WHY, "I would rather be a toad and live opon the vapor of a dungeon" than endure such treatment. The very idea of being kicked out of b- on a Sunday rooming, and competed to curry the cows an milk the hor—I mean, milk the cows and curry the horse*. Why it's just monstrous! He wouldn't kick me out

of bed more than one** I'd scratch his eyes out. Some men think that a wife is only tit to be a drudgo, a menial, a sieve. A selfish and brutal husband is he most despicable thing cn the earth. A wife mHy have patio ce under her trials, which may uphold her for a time, but she can never feel truly herself except in an atmosphere of sympathy and and affection. There are too many hasty marriages, too many false promises on the part of the men. They get married just for the novelty of getting married. They know not the meaning of that sacred word, love. You bet, the man that weds this chicken must appreciate me, and from the center of his heart must come these lines from Shakespeare: "She Is mine own

And I as rich In having such a Jewel, As twenty soag, if all their sands wore pearl, The water nectar, and the rooks pure gold.''
