The citizens of the Town of Union are hereby invited and requested to meet with the Mayor and Council in the Court house at 7.30 o'clock Friday night, the 15th, to eon sidor the subject of water works for the Town. J. A. Funt, i Mayor. ' The foregoing notice was handed us for publication one day this week. ? c were more than glad to receive it. As a town we arc making rapid j progress. 3/uny store rooms that ' wore empty last year this time, arc } now full of goods, and what was last 1 year a barren hill side now sustains the first floor walls of a huge factory. ' Our progress too, is permanent. Our 1 population is increasing rapidly and 1 the town is growing. Let our public institutions keep pace with the indi" * vidual and piivate improvements. We already have one of the best Graded Schools in the land, and with- j out doubt the next tiling is water J works. Let every citizen attend the : meeting to-night and help consider the matter. The Council wants to get the sentiment of the people and they have taken this method to do it. It will be a free meeting where everyone will have a right to express > his opinion. jr Llta Jane. j 1, Nov. 9?Last Thursday night we had ! v li.vivincf i'jiii 111,?fr l>.>< i-.il.ji, lwi'ii I 'I since lust July.
