I will say in the first place, from the ime Mr. Walton took possession the time of his deDarture. we made a full and complete arrange ment by which I was to conduct he business of repair on the bridge, and I have made every effort in my power, to procure lumber, and so far have succeed ed only in getting a sufficient amount to keep the bridge safe, and I will say to the citizens oi the two townships, that Mr. Wal ton has been in no sense to blame, and I have done the best I could, and the charges made have been both false and malicious, as the cowardice of a man who makes charges against a public officer and conceals himself. The public public, I think can understand that.

Its twenty per cent, higher than they are worth at Kansas City.

Many of our people yet fail to realize that prices have declined and must remain low for a long future. Go from home and observe how the world moves and you will soon observe that a dollar to-day has a much greater purchasing power than the dollar of 1877. Editor Traveler: I wish to ask whether there is any city ordinance against ringing bells at improper hours? Last Friday evening alter the Literary the school housu bell was rung some fifteen minutes. It was at a late hour and it was enough to startle any person. For my part I took a good deal of trouble to go and look to see if there was not a fire.

If there is no ordinance at present ought not the Council to pass one imposing a fine and imprisonment on any person ringing any of the public bells when there is no occasion for it? Citizen.
