stuck one on a bill with which [ paid my
rent. [ licked a stamp to paste upon

respect my country's WILL and now I'd
like to lick the man that introduced the

In the way of mercantile trade this
has been one of the dullest weeks for
Edgerton in many months. A large
number of the hands employed in the
warehouses are through with the work
and have gone to their homes. The farm
ing community have been too busy get
ting in the spring crops to admit of
coming to town, and the town people are
buying only what necessity calls for, and
hence the merchants and clerks are hav-
ing short breathing spell' after long
winter of brisk trade.
People who have rubbish to cart
away will do we'll to consult the street
committee before depositing it on the
roadside in the outskirts of town. Sew
eral parties have been in the habit of
drawing refuse matter up past the Driv-
ing Park and leaving it on the side of the
turnpike. This is all wrong, as it fills up
a drain which the street committee are
trying to keep open. There are several
good places to deposit rubbish where
filling is needed and by applying to the
street committee you can learn where
they are.
There is tendency to clean up and
beautify the lawns and yards all about
town, and many are putting in city
water for sprinkling purposes. The
price per season for the water is so low
that nearly all can afford to use it, and
it adds hundred per cent to the looks
of a place to have a lawn kept green
through the entire season. Those who
have thus far put in water or are going
to pipe for it are: Frank Hartzheim,
A. & 0. Voight, Royal Maltpress, Theo.
Clarke, Will Whittet, T. S. Raymond,
Thos. Porter, VIM. Butler, .Chas. Starks,
and Robert Attlesey for Whitford's livery
