X Citizen Suggests Former City Clerk and Treasurer, Who Discharged His Duties Ably and, Faithfully, to the To the Editor of The Observed v , J Since John T. Rlgler has shown his good Sense and judgment by declining to fill tha position he recently receiv ed appointment to, viz: City clerk and treasurer,! and as the work is not arduous,- requiring neither youth nor physical perfection, nor, can it be con sidered a stepping stone to soma high political office, therefore, why .not once more, and I hope for life, , give the appointment to Captain Fred ' Nash, who so long filled th position without the slightest reflection as to his hon eety. a war-scarred veteran advanced fin years, physically unable to get out and hustle . In . this usy world, but mentally, and in every way as compe tent to. hold down the position- hon estly and satisfactorily as any to be rouna. I am' one of many, no doubt, that was really gral when Captain' Fred Nash lost his position, fts ha had held it so long he thought, and unfortun ately, sometimes acted, as if he own ed it for life. ? am one also ot many, I hope, that would1 be- trrwitW pleased to see hfm reinstated after he. has re ceived his lesson of disapproval, which I think he has well learned. i I am sure. I am voicing the request and approval of a very Urge majority of tha voters, : also, the y ladies and children, when I ask the gentlemen now In power to appoint one more Captain -- Fred Nash to be city clerk and treasurer, and at a salary, no less. should be more, than the last encumb ent received. . FRED OLIVER. DECORATED UNION GRAVES. A Pretty Incident in Connection With the Memorial Day Exercises at ' v Loulsburg- An Exciting Runaway Movement on Foot to 'Abolish Dispensary. . . " ' Special to The Observer. ' Loulsburg, May 12. -Apropos of the Memorial Day exercises here a very pretty ' Incident occurred and one well worthy of recording. In the local eemetery are the graves of two Federal soldiers and while tha graves vi ine unieueraios were oeing aeco rated with vflowers and Confederate flags , the Daughters literally covered the graves of the two lone Federals with beautiful blossoms and .' Union colors. Beyond . any doubt the bid soldiers took charge of this town Fri day. Everybody took palns to see that they had good time and they had It They had mora good things to eat than they could dispose of, in fact no such Memorial Day was ever seen In this town before. The horse and buggy of Mr. DC Strickland were, standing In front of the drugstore of the' Bpddle Perry Drug Company yesterday! afternoon when the animal suddenly took fright and,' j-unnlng .,. at break -neck , speed, crossed tha court house green, swing ing the buggy against a tree and leav ing the shafts, there v continued - on down Louisburgs Broafdway and turn ing, up Spring street finally stopped at the Strickland residence. It w$s a miracle that otjier vehicles "were not run into and much damage done. The railroad company has put in a safety awitcb at the station here so no more runaway engines will topple over into Main street. Trains now have v to stop , and have - the switch changed before they can come down to tha station. - - v s ; A ; lecture of .interest will be de livered by ! a speaker of a certain sect having headquarters at a Penn sylvania point' at this ' place to-night These: people do not believe : in ' the orthodox hell and this is not .thA rt time their, lecturers have appeared nere; - uney nave several believer In this 'section and always have good uuuiences, wno attend tnrough Dure curiosity v :. -j ' ; ; v . t?- fi , k ; . . , It is understood that a movement is on. foot to abolish the dispensary and a petition is now or will ,be soon going the rounds to call an election to . this end..
