OyWe speak of the prosperity of Ev-
ansville, but the grass is growing in oui
streets. Folks who don't believe this can
satisfy themselves by looking at Main street
near the Journal Office. Here at the head
quarters of intelligence, business and Wing
principles, the grass is growing along the
sides of the street. 1t looks very green, to
say the least.-t Enqzirer.
