GROVE ROAD.
Prospect of its ImprOvcmcnt-Ths
Ladies' Invited TO Agitate
the Matter.

4 few facts delivered from the rostrum
OF truth and aimed in the right direction
rarely fail OF consequence, and so those
who feel IN interest in the Improvement Of
the Grove-ayepue drive have had activity
put into their efforts by the recent discus
sion OF the necessity OF the work. 1t is 4
necessity, aud the facts plead eloquently
for immediate attention TO the needs OF the
case. Every day witnesses numbers OF
our most fashionable people in SNOWY
vehicles dashing along Grove avenue.
They are people who are i'm search of
pleasure, and who really can afford to not
only pursue the phantom, but possess it.
They drive sleek horses and wear costly
costumes; but while the shade-trees are
pretty, the road straight, and the prospec-
tive pleasing in every direction, yet II the
laws OF the State were rigidly enforced the
overseer OF the very road over which the
pleasure-seekers drive, would be answera-
ble before a grand jury for its condition.
The slumbering vale, the waving limbs on
the trees, the green fields, and the blue
dome OF heaven are all mighty nice, espe-
cialy to such folks as live within the pent-
up limits OF city; but these attractions
can never be enjoyed as they should be
while clouds OF dust are sitting in dense
columns into your shirt-colar, up your
sleeves, and into your eyes, ears, and nose,
while at the same time YOU are being liited
almost out OF your seat by being dropped
suddenly into first one hole in the road
and then another.
One must possess an eye OF peculiar
vision and a heart OF peculiar organiZa-
ton IL he can see and feel the beauty OF any
OF Natures pictures under the forbidden
circumstances mentioned.
The remedy Is in work, and the work
will cost money; but the saving in clothes,
horse-lesb, and vehicles will pay the own
ers of the same, in very short time, "a
say n thing OF the added enjoyment grow
ING out OF a smooth road, free from dust
and danger. The pleasure-seekers ought
