The town council has gone to a great
deal of trouble and considerable expense to
procure shade trees for the town, and 1t IS
a shame to see how little their efforts are
appreciated. In front Of both of the colored
school houses the children use the newly
set ont trees as climbing posts, thereby tear
inc them out of the ground. The town
council should have these brats ar
rested and put into the guard house,
and perhaps it would teach them
that they have no more right to de-
stroy the trees on the streets than they nave
to destroy the property Of private individu-
ais. The recent lot of trees put out
have been carefully selected and Set
out by experienced hands who are
anxious that the trees shall live,
as good part of their pay depends on
the trees living. The prospect is that the
trees will live if they are not disturbed, and
Manning will be the best shaded town IN
the State.
