A Slight Kciniinkr.
Just a little reminder lu re may not
Is- out place. There is not anything
that will attract the attention of a r-
son going into a strange pla much
as the general apH-aranee of the place.
Should the town be neat and tidy,
street, alleys and drains clean and
well cared for, it denotes thrift and
efficiency in those having charge of
such matters. If on the other hand,
KMir walks, no walks, ditches full of
foul and impure water, weeds and
brush in vacant lots and along walks,
it denotes a spirit of slothfulness and
"don't care," which is certainly a det
riment to any community in which it
exists.
