monotony.
Watermelons and cantaloupes cabbage
and onions, tomatoes, potatoes and all the
various vegetables that make doctors bills
and call for undertakers' supplies are with
us, and where is the monotony? The busi.
ness ofour physicians tells, and the mortuary
list as has been published in these letters
and follow in this, show that at least, in the
death rate our community counts.

ed to the numerous trees where branches t-,,
g so low that it is impossible for pedes- 40,
to pass in rainy weather without tele-
'ing with the branches. The authorities
aid see to this, and il the owners will not
owe the obstruction, it appears that our De
ials should be of some account. To
