Of your neighbors will follow suit.
Liberty is beautiful street with its
over-arching bowers and broad thor

also notice much needed sidewalk be-
ing butt on Orrick street. Canton is fast
becoming a city, and if every citizen
will aid in adorning the town we will
soon have the most beautiful city in
Mississippi.

the negroes and infiicting severe injn-

value and also see that the representa-

delt with by the Railroad Company.
