WeMa, pastor of Uie Taberuacle church, at Erma, when Mias Elisabeth Woolaon, eldest daughter of Captain and Mrs. Swain Woolaon, became the bride of Mr. Socrates McPherson, ton of Mr. and MrsT David McPherson, of Cold Spring.

MOKK LIGHTS XfCKDKD. 1 mx>oreiilence Caused by Tbelr l-u-rten Distribution. Tbe recent highway robbery of Mrs. Maris, which is alleged Co hare been due to having some dark places in the city, call to mind tbs fact that there is a very uneven distribution of lights. borne places about town have an electric light and a gas lamp directly under each other, while other places for long stretches hare neither kind of light. As long as the city will pay for the grs lampe in tbe end and is paying for a number of electric lights along Madison avenue and up Beach avenue, it might Just as well pay for a few more and have some of of the dark spots illuminated.

Why Don’t They Heed? Council has yet done nothing with the dump at the corner of Columbia avenue and Jefferson street and the people of the neighborhood are becoming highly indignant at tbe criminal negligence of that t^ody. Tbe street committee, it seems, attempted to take the matter In hand, but have done nothing. One citisen offered his services to superintend the burning of the trash provided the city would take two or three men off its street service to dear upthe eyesore. This would toe money well expended and would be just as good an advertisement for the town as is money expended on other things. A dean town is much better than lota of noise and too much diit.
