As the eity election will soon be here
It behooves our citizens to look around and
select men who will when elected have
the Interests of tlie city at heart good.
common sense business men who will con
duct the business of the people as they
would their own. The city need a Coun
cil composed of liberal, progressive men
who will see that our sf reets, alleys, side
walks, etc.. are not neglected, and at the
same time will not be too prodigal In tlie
use ot tin people's money. Our outgoing
Mayor, as we have before said, made a
most excellent officer, and we are sorry
(hat tvec-in not have his services far at least
another term ; for when we get a good
officer It Is well enough to press him
Into tlie service as long as he can be kept
there . with his own consent. One man
held tlie position of -Mayor ot Providence.
R. I., for sixteen consecutive terms, and
would have been nenlti honored with the
position had he not positively declined
Ettt as Mavor Chirk can not serve again.
as li expects to be absenf oiuch1 of the
time during "the coming year, we 'must
fill his place with another. V There are
a number of citizens who would grace the
position, all of whom, however, after br
ing .interviewed, as we are informed.
positively refuse to serve. Among tlie
names mentioned is tlat of Judge Black
burn, a man specially qualified, by his
legal attainments, good solid Judgment,
and an uiitimitel amount of nerve to
stand for his conrktons of rlj-ht, to fiil
the people. The Judge will doubtless
objict to receiving tlie r,omlnatlotit but as
a gotid. loyal citizen lie sliould not ortjit
when his services are demanded. As to
the pBtee 'oL Recorder s Tlie present In-
cttmpent desires to be reelected, and we
ran say that our greatest objection to him
Is that lie belongs to tbe party of iion-pro-
gresston a pnrty tlwt lias always stood
In the way ot every iiuportaut measure
calculated to Improve our country and
better the condition of the poor of this
Nation. Mr. Halter Intends to do. tlie
fair tiling, and ho has attended to his dit
ties during the term of office now about
closed, faithfully, and If tlie Republicans
can not pat up a better man, we shall not
grieve to any alarming extent If lie socce d
himself. But we do not wish to be eon
sldered as acknowledging for a moment
that we have not In toe Republican ranks
men who would not fill the office with
equal honesty and capability. But tt is
a fact that we sometime tail to pat our
best men forward, because of an unwill
ingness, sometimes, on tbe part of suitable
candidates to jooaoe to the front. We nave
no reason to complain of such a state of
aSalrsjin this occasion, as there are sever
al gentlemen, well -qua! nee to nil toe
office, 'who have expressed themselves
; willing to serve It nominated and elected.
A i none the nanus wo have beard men

suy comment from us. John Uanuon has

This being the case, and as Mr. Hnnt is
a candidate for re-election, there possibly
will be no serious opposition to bis nom
ination in the Republican. CouventlMi.
As to the Treasurer we are not prepared
to say whether Frank Redfleld Is a can
didate for re-election or not. One thine
we know is that he has made a eood officer,
and we Suppose if he desires tt he may ob
tain the nomination, although we have
heard hi name mentioned in connection
with the office of Councilman from the
First Ward, lie will fill the bill in either
position. We have heard tlie names of
several eetitlemen named In connection
with the office ot Cooiictlmen. but as tins
matter has not been as thoroughly canvass
ed as that ot the city officers, we refrain
from mention. If the Republican party
wish to sneered it must put up its best
men. The general leeiing seems to oe.
we want com!, active, business men in the
City Council honest men, of good sound
judgment, who will do the square thing
tor our citiaens.reganlless ot political bias.
And thU being the feeling we ttitist put
the best men on our ticket.

On Friday last, at Halsey In this county.
a boy named Thompson, aged about 15,
shot at Mr. W. II. Gaston, under the fol
lowing clrcumstnnees, as related to us :
Yontig Thompson hail been attending the
district school over which Mr. Gaston pre
sided as teaclier. It seems that his conduct
h:id been of such a nature that Mr. Gaston
could not tolerate, anil therefore on the
flay in qi estiitn expelled him from tlie
school. Mr. Giton handed Thompson hi
books and fold him to take his departure ;
T homn. in moved a tew steps i toward tlie
door, di ew a pistol, turned and tired at
Mr. Gaston. Some one standing near
Thompson struck his arm down, and the
ball Intended for Gaston entered the floor
of the school room. Mr. Gfon Immedi
ately seized hold of young Thompson, and
succeeded In holding him until the appear
ance of an officer, hut i-ot before Thompson
struck him in the five once or twice with
the revolver, bruising, his features consid
erably. Young Thompson h:id an ex
amination tlve next day. and was held to
answer in the tW sum of $300. which lie
gave and was released from custody.
Apologetic.
We really owe Ur.cle Sam" postal boys
an apology, and we now make it. We
ordered some colored paper, and alonir
with the ret came some deep blue. Well,
as it Is a color no one wants hills printed
on. we concluded to tie it for wrapping
up our mail, and the route agents inform
us that they have difficulty in reading.
in the dimly lighted cr. the directions on
these wrappers, wen. we promise you
we will discontinue the use of blue paper
for wrapper-1, for we know that post
masters and route agents have trouble
enough when, tlie directions on papers and
tetters are not plainly written, without
oar adding to them. Yon hear tis.

To the Editob of the Rl&istek :
Last week ice formed very thick for this
part ot the country.
W. C. Cooley, eldest son of Geo. Cooley.
was married to Miss Callie Sawyer last
week, and I omitted to state in letter last
week that Doll Brusha and Miss Emma
Irving were married the week before.
Rumor says flint several more young peo
ple w il: soon enter upon the great ocean
of matrimony.
The mill is still sawing out ties and they
are delivering them along tlie read bed.
Last night J. B. Montgomery, Esq.,
chief contractor of the narrow gauge, in
company with Col. Wheat, arrived in
tewn. The track is now across the south
Saiitiam river, and will undoubtedly reach
this city iu two weeks from this date.
By t he sudden rise in wheat In Chicago
it bt-gins to look as if there must soon be a
reaction in pi ices here, aud we are all
very impatient to see this much desired
thing take place.
Last night was tlie night appointed for
tlie Blue Ribbon Club to meet, and there
was a splendid programme gotteu up by
the Excutive Committee. There was a full
house, and Rev. Mr. Handsaker delivered
a short but telling address on the' subject
of temperance ; but towards the latter part
of tlie entertainment tbe hoodlu ja elemeut
began to show itself, and required prompt
action on the part of tlie President to have
the entire programme performed.
Last Friday night we came near having
a great conflagration that, once started.
would have wiped out nearly the entire
business part of our little city.- The
furniture shop had a sheetiron stove, and
it set trie floor on fire and bunted quite a
large hole in tlie floor, and nothing but a
lack ot wind to fan it into a vigorous
fl-tme prevented It from getting a start be
fore morning, when it was easily extin
guisfied. It this had once got underhead-
way the new buildings and most ot our
business houses would have gone. The
city marshal has visited every house in
our city since, and every precaution is
being taken to prevent any more such
accidents.
There is strong tslk of organizing either
a fire company or a book and ladder com
pany soon. B. it,
the rasssla Mill.
Mr. C. Klock, ot Wisconsin, recently
arrived In our eity. has purchased the
Cheadle flouting mill at tlie foot of Broad.
albin street, and being a first class miller,
will turn out an excellent quality ot
flour for all who desire, aa under his con
trol it will be almost exclusively a custom
mill. Bring on your wheat and get first
ctasa nour.
