1t is not known with any degree of cer-

and adorns town more than another, or
shows Its inhabitants to be possessed of

respective domicils, but again there are
many who have not. Those who have
not yet performed this duty, should not
suffer the coming season to pass without
making amends for their neglect. Ebens-

in the way Of beautiful location and ro-
mantle surroundings, could and should
be made one of the handsomest towns in
the State. Plant a tree
