causa srutia We Must be Sleeping. Our sister city to the north Sylvia-is a town of inii'di fmaller proportions than Turon, yet she is an incorporated city and her streets are constantly kept in good condition, and at a meeting of the city council last Thursday it was ordered that side Walks of brick or concrete be built in place of board walks as the old ones become condemned. Isn't it possible for our people to awake to the real situation of thing3 and take pome steps'toward securing better walks in Tiirtfn? If a thunder bolt from heaven would jar loose the clamp on some of our people's pocket books that they could not hideaway every penny they get and thus encourage stinginess and discourage public spiritedness, we pray for it to come, and come quick. With the steady growth and improvement which Turon isenjoving at the present time, it would certainly be in harmony to have nice streets and good walks, but as we can only judge the future by the pust, its a cinch that we'll never have walks until there is some means, provided by which we can compel! the people to put them iu and this can only come through Wake up, brethren, and let us get Turon out of the old rut in she has been standing for the last twenty-seven ears.

curs to convince us that men who have acquired a reputation for business sense tu shrewdness, are often just Vy as big fools as the ordiaary run of mor tals. You can't tell whether a man i3- fool or not uutil the opportunity arises which giyes him a chance to show that he is a fool. Sometimes the opportunity never comes and he goes. through life with a reputation for shrewdness he never deserved. This train of thought is suggested by the case of the Oberlin banker B)ck- with and the Cleveland lady, Chadwick.

Beckwith was the president of what was popularly supposed to be the soundest aud most prosperous bank in Oberliu. He enjoyed the leputation of being a shrewd but the first right good opportunity ho has he shows that he hasn't a lick of senfe. Mrs. Chad wick, is an appar ently smooth female who travels in the' first society of Cleveland. She needs, money and looks around for a place to get it.

She makes the acquaintance of the Oberlin banker. According to his story she found him easy. She; wanted to borrow vast sums and as security a note bearing what purported to be the signature of Andy Carnegie. The Oberlin bank president. and cashier endorsed these notes.

On one note to endorsed an eastern capitalist loaned Mrs. Chadwick Of course And denies having signed any notes for Mrs. Chadwick. Nobody-it seems to us, but a fool would mip-pose for a minutu that ho had and yet the note was taken without even taking the precaution to Andy to-find out whether he had signed it or' not. I'ei'kwith is now under arrest charged with wrecking his bank.

The-bank is wrecked all but Beckwith probably didn't intend to wreck it. The evidence will probably disclose that he was just a mighty ordinary tort of chump who had in some way acquired a reputation for wisdom. Mall Breere. At The Racket Grocery. Thursday, December 22, U.

The good people throughout this broad land oi ours will throw up their hands in horror when they ri ad of a prize rght in which only two pugilists. who have been toughened up for the occasion, enter the ring and hit a few-blows, only to knock out the man on whom the most money is staked yet.

these self same people will go out and witness a foot bnll game in which their own kin participate, and when the opposing side leads a little, or one of ns members is (low they will bawl out in shreaking tones, kill him! Mow does this really show good sense? Just the other day over here at Stafford the papers report the bieaking of one man's collar bone and the shattering of auother man's leg in a foot bali game, and venture that many of these tender hearted, christian ladies, were eye witnesses to the scene. You may talk about the prize fights, in America aud the Spanish bull lights at San Sebastian, but what we really need Is a little lestridion placed on the cruelty in foot ball games.
