The sidewalks are in a dreadful condition and il is very diffi cult for one to walk on them in wet weather. The sidewalks are too low, the water does not run off of them. It is there to stay, until it is dried up. Besides looking bad it is very un healthy for our streets nnd sidewalks to be in this condition. Just such mud- holes ns wc have in our streets bring , on fevers that cost so many people their lives, when a little care, and money would have prevented it. So let our town officials look after the streets nnd then when a stranger enters the gales of our city we will not be ashamed of what we have not done. | Clothing, Hats, Shoes, |l)ry Goods, lotions, Etel' Wood’s Seeds.
