Our
Public Square a
Disgrace
We do not know the keeper of
our court house and public square,
neither are the things we are
about to say chargeable to him,
for the responsibility lies higher
up. But if its possible to present
a more unkept and neglected con
dition than our Public Square, it
doubtless is because carelessness,
don’t care and indiference can
not conceive of it. Grown up in
broom sage, piles of cinder, uncut
grass, washed and dirty walks,
ditches-, unshapely trees, bricks
lyiug around loosely; and, well so
many tilings we wont undertake
to name them all, but taken as a
w hole, it certainly is very shabby.
Now these things indicate to
strangers the kind of people that
live here, and we want to enter
our protest against such a slander
as this unkept park throws upon
our good people. Surely the
task is not too much lor one man
to handle and then only work in
the cool of the day and have the
park beautiful, as it should be. If
somebody will just give a little
thought and direction in this mat
ter, it can not help from calling
forth praise from every one in
terested in the progress of our
city and county.

Moral character—honesty,

The Bible is recognized as the
