I After the ladies have labored so
vigorously in planting flower beds
(and transforming many vacant "eye
sores" into gardens of attractiveness,
'Saturday afternoon witnessed a most
1 discouraging happening, when one
'of the members of the Association,
who took pride and justly so in
two large flower beds, she had per
sonally supervised the const met ion
'of, at the south end of the Court
House grounds, chanced to pass by,
and found to her dismay, that two
' mules had been hitched right at
the side of tho bods, and in their dis
satisfaction at having to remain
standing in the one place so long,
had pawed great holes in the beds
'and mutilated the new buds and plants
almost beyond restoruation. This
' should never have happened had the
City officials after the ladies used
their efforts to help beautify the Court
House grounds attended .to their
duties anil insisted that those who
are in cliarge ot Keeping up iiiose
premises look to such instances.
These things are liable to happen no
doubt, but not so, if those at the
head of these affairs are attending
to their business and see to it that
those under them are doing likewise.
Then, too, there is the same old
'chicken question arising again. The
1 Association does not wish to have to
kill these valued yet disturbing
fowls, but if they are permitted to
I continue to run loose and destroy
the gardens and property of those
endeavoring to not only assist the
Civic Society, but perhaps their own
personal desires to have an attrac
tive home, measures will be taken
which will undoubtedly keep the
offending birds from doing any more
harm.
Another subject brought up was,
how to get rid of tho unsightly old
buildings that tre doing no good
around town, except to be used as
signboards for the various advertise
ments, that certainly do not help
to make a city attractive. Other
cities have taken this particular
question in hand and in a short
time, the disfiguring sing boards,
and ramshackles have been replaced
by email parks, and many pretty
flower beds, that are very good evi
dences that the town is going ahead
instead of remaining satisfied with
such conditions. Why not endeavor
to make this a city that can lie truly
spoken as going ahead, and begin
right now to have these obstacles
of progressiveness removed.

fining and for tho purpose of improv
ing the condition of his health, pur

has recently developed a most severe
case of rheiiniMt ism, which lias rapidly
grown worse. II has been forced to
abandon his labors n order that ho
night receive medical treatment. The
joints of his body, and es ially the
knees have become badly swollen
ami cause him a constant excruciating
pain. His doctor has advised him to
forego any physical effort ami to re
main as nearly perfectly quiet as

great care. Frank dislikes very
much the idea of ceasing his activi
ties, and it was with much reluctance
that he obeyed the physicians direc
tions. It is believed that if he does
not suffer a relapse, that he will
probably be able to resume his
labors within tho next few weeks.
