A Few Wasteful Ones KesUle Here.

If water consumers were careful to use it only as permitted by their contracts there would be no danger of a water famine at present. Scores of persons sprinkle at mid-day, or any other time they choose, while many hydrants are carelessly or jjurposely left open, and some consumers waste more water in a month than others use in a year. Save the water fire.—New Castle Couri

They had already brought in a gcod well this snmmer. As the Citizens' Gas Co. has always had plenty of gas and to spare for their patrons, and are putting down additional wells this summer, Greenfield can look for a splendid supply of gas the coming winter.
