 Much improvement has been noticeable of late years in the appearance of our streets. North and South streets are kept closely mown and West street can now boast of some of the finest lawns in the village.

 The 2d Nine Nameless played the Et- mans of Milton on Saturday, beating them 21 to4.

Of the Milton's, Hurley and Brown deserve the highest praise. Bidwell, of the Nameless, got bad hit in the eye from a ball that bounded from his own bat as he was striking.
