The rain of last Tuesday night followed
by the warm weather caused the river to |
rise rapidly, and overflow its banks in |
many places. On Glover street the cellars |
of many of the houses were flooded, and |
near the VIM. Brown bridge the water ran |
over the road for several days. Several |
small bridges were carried away and in |
many places about town the roads were |
badly washed. +
We would suggest that the village I
fathers or the park commissioners slick up |
the park and have some flowers placed |
there to add to its appearance. 1t is also |
time for the people to clear away the bank
ing tabout their houses, clean up their |
yards and improve their premises as much |
as possible. Let each citizen do his part |
in this way and it will add greatly to the |
beauty of our village.
A paper is being circulated to raise |
money for the baseball association in |
order to maintain ball team during the |
coming season. Last year the team from |
this village was one of the best in the |
county and the sport afforded much |
pleasure for both old and young. 1t will |
be impossible to maintain a first-class |
team unless it is to be supported financial
~, and we believe the eopIe will be will |
ling to do their part toward furnishing |
the money providing the boys show a |
to put in the time in practice |
which will insure some good games.
