It has probably occurred to every person that has tried to get a drink at either of the founts at the court house that it is almost impossible to do so in the absence of drinking cups. One has to crane his neck until he almost breaks it and then two-thirds of the water goes down his shirt bosom. When the weather Is cold and a slight wind blows the water freezes about the fount until it is next to impossible to get up to it'without a pair of neverslips on. The city should establish the new dringing founts without delay. It would not be a bad idea if one was placed near the postoffice as well as two at the courtRouse.
