Joseph Barrett, city bill-poster for Carthage, was in Scott posting up some handsome bills for the cjming Fourth of July cele-liration at that place.

Thirteen years ago he came to Bourbon county, and has a well stocked and well improved farm near Uniontown, which is the result of his labor here. He will return to his Kansas home next spring.

The complaints of the people on the North side are loud and bitter against the men who dump the refuse of the city into the river west of town. They have just cause for complaint, as the current washes this refuse down stream and lands 'a portion of it on the banks near the bridge. The heat of the sun upon it soon creates an intolerable stench, and the breezes that pass over it are freighted with disease and death. The Board of Health, if we have one in the city, should take the matter in hand. We are given to understand that "just o'er the Kansas line," about four miles east of Fort Scott, thero is is a place where old topers and any one else can procure fceir "morning nips," their "resuscitators," their "social glasaes," their "appetisers," their "stem-winder," their J' cock-tails," and anything else in the liquor line It's a nice little walk before breakfast, you know, boys, but oh, how long it takes to come back your legs don't work well and the sun pours down with unusual severity its most efful gent rays, but don't mind that; you can get a hovne and buggy next Sunday to ride home In, only the expense will be foolish; you will need all your money to buy whisky to pollute your breath with, to betoul the air ana des ecrate the Sabbath, -The old contract for lighting the city with gas, expired yesterday, and not being renewed the streets were left in darkness last night, for the first time in many years.

This move was intended as a stroke of economy. on the part of the council. It is certain, however, that it does not meet the approval of the citizens, there are other expenses that can be curtailed without half inconvenience that doing without the gas will be. The luxury of printing the coun cil proceedings in the morning paper cost the city, last year, nearly 5300, and the Monitor's for Ihe same work, tins year; if accepted, will cost the. city, at least $400 not an exorbit price if the city had plenty of money, but it is $326 more than Heckman offered, to publish the copncil proceedings for in the Herald.

These proceedings are important, only matters of record. As 4 terns of news thev are not thrilling. The only per- soMs'who read them, are the council-men, who merely glanee. oyer them, to see if their names are spelled right. It is important that they should be legalized, and, this can be.
