Frank W. Babcock, Auditor of Jasper County. Willky Harding, at Harding & Chesnut’s drug store, is selling a ifire-kindler that is said to le just a little the handiest thing to have About the house on ■ a oold winter morning, or any other time ‘ when it ia desired to start a fire quickly. Go around and buy one, thus giving the lad encouragement to earn a living by the sweat of his brow and at the same time winning the everlasting gratitude of your poor wife who has shivered over a cook-stove filled with green wood every morning this winter, while yon snoozed *way in the warm bed with the f>aby untit breakfast was ready. A petition, signed by a majority of the property-owners, will be pre- . sented to the Hon. Board ot Town Trustees at their meeting on the first Monday evening in March, praying for the passage of an ordinance to require the construction of a plank sidewalk on the north side of Washington etreet, between «Vau

Rensselaer and Front streets. This Is a step in the right direction, and we earnestly hope the prayer of. the petitioners may receive a favorable answer. The experiments of more than twenty years prove conclusively that the gravel of this region will not make good walks when thrown on the primitive soil, where there is much travel. The attrition of boots and shoes soon grinds the surface to dust, which is annoying in dry weather, being blown about by the eofest zephyrs; and which becomes a bed of loblolly mud whenever any considerable of rain falls. Then when spring approaches, thawing out beneath, whatever gravel has not been worn out sinks beneath the spouting clayey “quicksand.” On account of this tendency of our soil to “heave” when the frost leaves, such flagging as has been laid did not prove altogether satisfactory, tho’ it makes better walks than gravel does. For Sale. — A Novelty clothes wringer. Has been used half a dozen times, but is as good as new, aud is an excellent machine. En-; quire at this office.
