about noon on Wednesday OF last week
did good deal OF damage to growing
crops. Fruit trees also were damaged.

mover. The streets for awhile were cover
ed with running ST. cam of water The
volume of water was so great as to wash
a large hole at the filling on the newly
constructed Cemetery street The work
does not provide for proper conveyance
, of water during heavy rains The water
rushes on the sidewalk and carries de-
struction along with it.
Why send away to buy what our own
merchants keep tor sale at home? These
. men pay taxes, sustain the trade, keep up
the town. If our people would have the
} city grow and our stores filed With the
best line of goods, where things may be
procured easily and cheaply, the best way
te do is to pstronize the men who keep the
stores. That is the best way to build up
city. The best economy is the support
of our local dealers. 1t will help the
town and help you. Patronize home en-
terprise. Trade at home. Talk up your
home dealers. 1t is the most hopeful and
helpful sign of a growing city.
AS the dull summer days come upon US
how does music in the park tor about three
afternoons in the week impress you 2
Music is most delightful form of pleas
ure, and we seldom look upon prettier
picture than that presented by the park
and it's surroundings when music is being
discoursed therein. Napoleon Bonaparte,
certainly understood what it took to maks
d coed government announced it as his
settled purpose to encourage the opera as
much as possible when he got through
with his wars, on the ground that music
! made better citizens of the French. The
refining influence of music does not find
an exception in our people, so let's see if
we can not once again have music in the
park, and thus draw our people cut in the
cool shades Of evening to drink in its
pleasures
