CARTERSVILLE’S STREETS
ARE BEING OILED.
The city commissioners are this
veek oiling the many business streets
ot the city and it is contemplated also
to oil many of the residence streets.
Tile streets around ilu* public square,
together with Main, Market and other
streets, have already been oiled. This
has been done for several years and
the plan now is to include a number
of residence streets and thereby to
further allay the dust nuisance. Inas
much as the city has adopted the
water meter system of charging for
the use of water, private users will he
less inclined to sprinkle the streets
abutting their property, but with the
streets properl* oileth the dust nui
sance will become gradually less and
there will be little need for sprinkling.
The further advantage is the
smoothness all streets art> more likely
to maintain.

In Georgia, sell or eat the pullets ;

never makes large increases in the
number of chickens kept on the farm
it is of utmost importance that only the
cockerels he used this spring for fry
ing chickens and till the pullets be
kept for Ikying next winter. The
South will need for all the eggs
