Now that election is over busi

better, so far as business in con
cerned, if presidential plcctioiiB oc

No one in town has taken more
tun out of this campaign than J. B.
Scanlan, who is a democrat but
not a Bryanite between which
there i& both a difference and a

We voice the sentiment of all
good citizens when wc &ay that
their is no excuse for the alleys of
the city, and especially those in the
business part of the town, being in
such a filthy condition. They are

health of our people. The city
council should take measures ..to
have the alleys cleaned, and this
without delay.

The month of October, compared
with former years, waB an execp.

age rainfall for October for twenty-
seven years has been 1.04 inches,
so it will be seen the fall last
month was but little over one-third
the average. This haB been a very
dry year throughout, the accumu
lated deficiency in precipitation
since January 1st being 4.46 inches
aB compared with the yearly aver
