AD0RN THE TOWN.
Well Paved and Neatly Kept streets
show public Spirit.

A towns streets should be the
lawns and public parks. They
should be to the corporation, as a
whole what the grass plots in front
of the house is to the individual res
ident There is no higher evidence
of the taste, refinement, enterprise
and intelligence of a community
than well paved streets bordered
with handsome shade trees.
Ill kept, badly laid out streets
speak of public poverty and narrow
ness, an absence of that spirit which
every shows citizen loyal to his
towns interests and wisely attentive
to his own. Public streets, substan-
italy paved, will in turn encourage
a similar treatment of the private
property adjoining them. There is
no departure which would so instill
patriotism and love of home and
country as perfecting our streets
and highways.

THESE two items are taken from
the Wetzel Democrat They sound
enough like conditions here to have
been written for publication in this
town:
About this time of the year the
annual spring mover is on the road
with his furniture, his cook stove,
his washtubs, his shotgun, his hound
dog and his superannuated COW, on
his etsrnal march from no place to
anywhere.
The street commissioner opened his
eyes last week and beheld mud so
deep it would even cause duck to
stand aghast; and as surely as the
grounding awakens from his long
and dreary sleep, the commissioner
taught our people the lesson that
life is yet in him, by the use OF
shovel and hoe. Let us keep ouI
eyes open and our streets in re-
spectacle condition.

First-HandsOme Business Block,

Workmen are at work on the rear
part of the building on the corner of
Main and Walnut, which is owned by
S. A. Posten, and they will demolish
it is rapidly as possible. The front
part is under lease until the first of
April, and nothing can be done on it
until that time when it will also be
torn down. This is done to make
ready for the building which is to go
on this lot.
1t is to be one of the handsomest
business blocks in the town and will
be great ornament to the city.
There will be no general contract for
the building but the various parts will
be let to small contractors and the
Colonel will look after the construc-
tion himself. The plans are not quite
ready yet but they will be in time for
building to begin in earnest on the
first of next month.
The plan and arrangement of the
new block have already been given in
this paper at the time it was decided
to build it, so there is no necessity of
giving it again.

direction of the efforts of the stu

most attractive features of the an

there has been an effort to have such
a day but the students have not
taken the proper interest," in it be-
cause they did not think that the

The appointment of Geo G. Baker
as executor of the estate of DR.. Geo.
B. Morris with almost absolute au-
thority to manage it and dispose of
property entrusts Mr.. Baker with a
very great responsibility. The es-
tate will no doubt foot up near $3.50
600 and will require skill and fore
sight to keep it together and make
it profitable. This we believe Mr..
Baker is abundantly capable of do
ing. DR.. Morris was man Of rare
judgment and seldom made mis-
takes. Had he not first carefully
weighed the matter and drawn his
conclusions accordingly the appoint
ment would not have been made.
