Some people Bay we ask too much of the County Corumisnionorp, others say we ask too much of the Town Councelmed. U we do, wo wish to maka an opology, but it is our opinion that we do not, Wo do not at any tune ask for anything from either of thebe bodies whicu will not be of benefit to tho town or county. We are not herd to try to lorce any one, but we am here to ask for those thing most needed for the welturo and promotion of the interest of our people. The article expressing a desire for the publication of the proceedings of the county commissioners, caine from a tax payer ana not from us, as will be found by refrence to the Ureswell letter under cUto ot July 19. We think it right and just to the tax payers, that they should know what is boing done in the county. , More Houses- To the citizens of our town who own vacant lots, we say build houses thereon . If you are not able to build a bouse do not stick up a shanty bat sell the lot to some of tho new comers who are able to build a nice house. Do not let another year pass without having all tho vacant lots built up. Just look at the nioo lots in tho town which instead of having houses on them, presents the appearence of a corn field. If you have a house to live in build one to sell or rent, do not disgrace "Fair Plymouth," by trying to farm upon her peaceful bosom. The capitalist who are now seeking places to locate in our State will not stop in a town whore they can not get houses. We gay build up the town, build homes for employer and employoos, . Tlin Lead Dltoh- Cnief Police Tucker has at last persuaded tho Councilmen to let him have the lead ditch cleaned out, and with a gang of hands ho has boon engaged lor the past Week, doing that much needed work. He informs us that this ditch had filled up so that he had' to take out about two feet of mud to give the water free access. After the ditch is put in thorough order, as it will be when Mr. Tucker gets through with it, the mud should be scattered and sprinkled with lime or copperas, to keep the malady from rising tuereirom. All Police Tuokor wants is money to run the town and he will keep it iu a sanitary condition, if any man can, so wo say give liim all ho needs. Mr. Tucker has been the Chief. Officer of the town for several years and knows wore work is most needed and if given the means he will, beyond a doubt, keep tho town clear of all nuisances and in a good condition. No unnecessary expense will be imposed upoa the town by him, but if aided he will do his duty for tho welfare of our people.

Mr. Eborne was requested to present the medal which he did with ap. propriatcly remarks. ' ' : ' Two gentlemen friends of tho school offered a medal to the girl who , had stood highest in her class during the session and who should best recite at tho Commence ment.

" Miss Ella Wynn was the happy " reoipiont of a lovely medal presented her by Kev. R. B.Collier. Thus ended a most excellent, session of Columbia's school. ; It is the universal desire of patrons and people that the Trustees will increase the Professor's salary and thus induce him to remain with us another session. An excellent baud of music played at intervals, and all left at a late hour, feeling that tbey had been amply repaid, though the weather was uncomfortably warm- and rainy. - . '. Ben.
