City Fathers
At the municipal election held last Saturday the following Aldermen were elected by handsome majorities: Alvin WARREN, G. W. NEWBERN, John KENNY, Martin PIRTLE, R. S. HARDY, R. G. CRAWFORD, who upon first meeting will proceed to elect a mayor, recorder, and town constable. It is hoped that the new board will make some improvements upon the streets and sidewalks, and thus incur the special favor of all who are opposed to wading shoe-mouth deep in mud and slush. Arrest offenders, pile on the fines, create a fund and go to work like “city dads” of the good old kind!
