If you have no word of com- mendation to sav for Your town, its institutions, or people, emigrate. You won't put the place out of existence by going away. The town bell will ring out its calls to dine and work just the same and the church bells will have the same musical ring on Sundays. The birds will sine and childreh play just the same. The pure air and bright sunshine will retain the same health-giving properties: Speak a good word for your neighbor if_yon can. If you can't, don't be everlastingly enlarging on his faults. If you have become thoroughly dis- gusted, move away and go where things will suit you better. -------------- Police To Get Keys. Asked as to what would be done re the market this morning, Ald. H.
