For the Port Tobacco Times.

Mr. EDITOR: The citizens of this town,
it seems to me, have been very remiss to
the gentlemen who were some month or
t~a ago appointed committee. to have the
town cleansed and purified, for their very
prompt attention to their duties! They
certainly deserve to have their names hand
ed down to posteri,y as the very model Of
good, public-spiriled, energetic, and health
preserving citizens! Now, sir, If we take a
walk around the town, we at every turn see
the effect of their public-spirted devotion
to our comfort; we inhale nothing now but
sweets as pure and as wholesome as the
otto of roses. The citizens need not give
themselves any uneaslness about billions
fever, or ague and fever, when they have
such guardians TO superintend their health
and the health Of their lovely wives and
dearly beloved children. Strangers visiting
this town will not fail to notice the altered
appearance of lis streets, its alleys and lis
by-paths. ] therefore say, we have been
remiss In oUr duty to the gentlemen com
posing that committee, but there is an old
saying-"lt is never too late to do good"
would endeavor to repair our neglect, by
recommending that a meeting be called at
the Court House at some convenient day,
COR the purpose of returning. in public
manner, the thanks Of the town to those
most worthy citizens, and recommend their
example to the rising general ton.
Yours respectfully,
HOMO.
