Your townsman, Mr.. o. w. Craw-

The first thing noticed was the scru-

everything, even to the minutest,detail,
from the dwelling house down to the

were all swept and scrubbed,
making them as clean and
sweet as frequent scrubbing
and even scaling can make them. The
attendants do not seem to be satisfied
TO stop AZ this but carry the sweeping
mania out into the COW yards, and
beyond the pen fences and out on the
prairie the distance OF several rods.
So much 80 that actually asked one
of the men If he had the contract OF

clean in this section of Texas.
