There is growing complaint because
of the lack of sewer system in this
city. OF late, the town has taken to
growing, and as the population increases

Captain Day thinks anent the recent
refusal of the G. A, K. to admit the
veterans of the Spanish war to their
membership, that such admission will
be secured later on. The veterans of the
Spanish war have organized an associa

rather believes there will be IA union be-
tween the G. A. X. and the new associa-
tion in the course of another year or so.
The healthscekers in the city are
complaining that so much water is used
on the grass and walks in the plaza that
they can no longer spend their time in
that beautiful place because of the
dampness. Now that the heat and

the w. b. ~. should see that the cause
of complaint is removed. The grass and
trees in the plaza do not require much
water this season of the year. and visit
ors in the city ought not to be deprived
of the pleasure derived from spending
the time there.
