 The ladies of the Congregational church wish to call the attention of the i public to the condition of the church i green. Some people, who evidently think 1 it is public property, have converted it i into a highway, cartiDg heavy loads over l if, so that now there iS little left to dis : tingush it from the public road. Those
 persons who persist in using the green, ] when there is road, should remember
 it is not public property but belongs to ] the church and should be respected, not
 only for that reason but also that every heavy load carted over it is making it more and more unsightIy.
