Trim the Trees.
There are a number of shade trees on
our streets whose low and spreading
branches make it inconvenient to navi
gate the sidewalks of the Magic City in
some places. At night they are espe
cially annoying. Now is the time to
trim them up, and we call the attention
of our street committee to the nuisance.
A dude walking the arm cluch with his
best girl under these branches, is liable
to loose his beaver and thus the thread
of his story is broken and the romance
of the occasion is ott times sadly inter
rupted. Let the trees be trimmed.

The Third party people, of Worth
county, have nominated Mr. Thos.
Lippitt, as their candidate for ordi
nary, to fill a vacancy caused by the
death of the former inenmbent. The

much weaker than it was * last year,

crats who hare been temporarily mis
led, and when they see that their old
party is fulfilling its pledges, they
will return to it. They will be wel
