VIM. SMITH, John Hambly, Hiram

The city council, of Monroe, has
inaugurated as method for improv-
ing the streets of that city the use
of the harrow, the scraper and the
roller with the hope of keeping the
roadways packed so hard that water
will run off them like it would a

about Mineral Point we are inclined
to think that heavy hauling will
stand in the way of the success of
this plan.

paper that mentions the thousand

pair and death lurk in the ethereal
mildness of May for the man who
wants to get into summer clothes
before summer comes.
