There is some kicking from the residents
in the neighbOrhOOd of the Grove about the
noise that is kept up there on Sunday
nights. and last Sunday night especially
there was a crowd of young fellows and
several girls who made night hldeOuS until
about - o'clock by following, cursing and
dancing on an old platform. There was
also several revolverS fired of and in what
direction no one could tell. The police
should certainly look after this, as II IS not
only quite an annoyance 10 the residents OF
that locality, but also dangerous.

There is considerable complaint from
those that have friends and relatives buried
i'm the old Walnut Grove Cemetery about
some goats that infest that neighbOrh0Od
