Prlct reasonable, oabtcriptlon Price, S2.00 a Year FLY TIME I,S IIHRR Right now Is the time to swat 'he fly. The most effective way Is 'o rid the premises of every particle t filth and trash whatsoever. Ma sure piles are the greatest breed- ng places for files but that Is not he only place they breed. Toilet -aultr. garbage dumps, pig pens. ow lots, etc., are breeding places is well. Greatest care should be .zsed in eliminating all these evils hen see to the screens. Next time a fly meanders around on your lining table, walks over the dishes and perhaps the food you are about to eat, stop and medltalt upon Just where that fly may have been be fore he graced (?) youi dining tt.yAe. It won't take an unusual Imagination to picture his flight from some llthlest of filth direct to your food and ten chnnces to one, yes, nlnety-nlno chnaccs out of one hundred, you eat the filth he deposits. This Is a "beautiful little thought" and not exactly the fort to Induce a ravenous appetite, but it is th( truth Just the same. Swat the fly. He Is one of the filthiest little beasts that live and Is no respector of persons. Swat him now.

With the Installation of this big fltimo the high street north of the court house will be cut down, the court house square curbed and walks laid connecting the business district with the court house and connecting up with the line of walks now leading to the Methodist church and the grado school build ing. With this work done how about a, little effort toward beauti fying the court house grounds. That location Is a most deslrablo one nnd might well he transformed Into n beauty spot. In tho present unkept condition It Is an eye sore. We know the county Is short of funds but whero could a few hundred dollars be spent to bet ter advantage than right, there?
