THE MUNICIPAL MACinyE.
Lumber for tho sidewalks cannot bo
be obtained ns rapidly as it can be used,
and, as a conHoquencc, the work of repar

guilty ,of this Imputed shortcoming!
We appeal to .Munn to sustain us in this

Sometime ago wu published from th0
Mah.ac Journal thu peculiar plan adopted
by Mrs. l)u Gcer to Induco .husbands to
sign uic tempetanco pledge, and a report
that she had bribed an oldish man with a
kiss to sign. Who kissed tlm madame? is
a question tho answer to which wo lone
have sought and mourned because w
found it not. Hut here comes a prominent
citizen of Mound City-, doctor-and outs
ho can enllghted us; that tho kisser was an
oldish man, rather heavy set, an inveterate
smoker and joker, and the doctor's very

kissing and took the pledge a stated, ho
