See advertisement in another column, Aaron Miller, of Lockhart township, was assaulted last Sunday about dark by some unknown person. He was struck on the head by a boulder, while going to his home. From what can be learned he lies at this time in a very serious condition. There is no possible clue as to the identity of ‘he person committing the act. If Petersburg has no health officer one should be appointed at once with power to act. The town needs cleaning up and the officers must do their duty. The Marshal should see that all obnoxious weeds and debris is cleaned from the streets. If Petersburg has officers they should do their duty and that at once. This kind of weather and with the rubbish and decaying vegetation is a disease breeder. Clean up.

Hicks Coleman is an old veteran and a member of Arorgan Post. He was fifty years old last week and on Saturday eveniug at the meeting of the post Hicks was present, as he generally is, and the program was materially changed from theresrular routine of business when he was ordered to “strip.” He obeyed the command as in the days of ’61-5, when he was presented with a 6. A. R. suit of clothes. It is not necessary to state that Hicks is one of the proudest boys iu the city, but that he will always remember the boyB in blue and the cause for which he will wear the suit presented to him. William Liihe will not be outdone. The yeast which he uses in the manufacture of bread failed to arrive Tuesday, and not wishiug to disappoint his customers he took the evening train for Washington to secure yeast for the next day’s baking. He had made arrangements for some person to meet him at Kinderhook. He started from Washington but not arriving at a late hour the waiter r< - turned home and Will was compelled to walk the entire distance, riome of the boys hint the^fact that he took t!>»* wrong road ajfd got lost But that makes no difference Will is quite a pedestrian just the same and supplied his customers with bread Wednesday as it nothing had happened. And as Charley fipes says “he had a hard time.” ' ’
