SAN1TARY.-The writer does not
wish to be. found in the position of
a chronic %grunbler, but there is
something in Elk Point that de.
mands the attention Of the citizens
in general and the aldermen in par
%ticular. This something" to which
| refer, is so odious that it is brought
to the notice of every stranger who
visits our little city, and in conse-
quence is a stigma upon her adj
vancement. A friend of the writer
was in Elk Point a few days since
and was So attracted by her beauty
that he thought very strongly of
purchasing a residence and making
this the home Of his declining years.
He il a gentleman of considerable
wealth, is enterprising and public
spirit d; and is Il man who always
aims to make lis personal interests
identical with those Of the town in
which he is located. But on look
ing about him he expressed his sur
prise and regret at the condition OF
many of our back yards and alleys,
and as a consequence he concluded
to look further before locating. At
the same time he admitted that for
beauty our town was far ahead OF
any thing he had seen in the west.
This is only one of the many instana
ces wherein the slack manner in
which our municipal Officers dis
charge the duties devolving upon
them. IT'S true that it is not in
tifely the fault of the officers, be-
cause it is the duty Of every citizen
to clean up his premises at least
once a year, and no one should wait
to Ire urged by the officers to dis
charge this duty. But when they
fail to do this the officers should
perform their part witt out tear or
favor, and soon the entire populace
would be educated to the fact that
these matters must be strictly at
tended to-. II for no other reason,
this should be done in the interests
of health, because all must under
stand that tile odor arising from
this vile accumulation il the very
foundation of malarial disease, and
why it has been SO long neglected is
beyond my comprehension. Many
of our citizens have set excellent ex-
amples in clearing up their premises,
and il all would follow this example
Elk Point could easily sustain the
enviable reputation she hears-that
of being tile handsomest town in The
west. Let us all work to that end.
With malice toward none aud good
will to ali, am your most humble
