Holden Enterprise: Compliant
has been made to US, and with abun-
dant cause, of the way ladies are
grossly insulted by course hoodlums
on the streets after night. Some
measures should be taken by the

count for their vulgarIty.

Hill and Butler papers are likely to
have as lively a row over the coll
lapse of Walnut as they aid over its

to blame.

Bates County Democrat, we learn
that Walnut is not so badly crippled
as we had supposed. With the COM

Walnut to become the leading city
in the Southwest.
