The rules of the water department. In
relation to the hours for sprinkiing
lawns are not being very we'll observed, !,
and as a result the pumps at the station
sre kept busy nearly all of the twenty /
four hours. A citizen who secs his neigh I
Dor sprinkling out of hours thinks he
mas as much right TO use the water as
the other fellow and does so, and so it
goes. The rich and the poor alike are
guilty of the violations OF tht. rules, /
which fix the sprinkling hours between
and a. m. and and 5 p m.
While MIR. FiIlkle seems to know how
to conduct a successful race meeting,
with the possible exception of providing
comfortable weather, but to one Who
doesn't know the difference between a
bookmaker and a poolseelsr it looks as
tho the patronage and friends of the
races might be increased by the erection
of a new grand stand The present am
phitheater is a relic of the palmy days
Of county fairs in Marshall county. IL
is gray with age and is a mere skeleton
Of Its former self; it is as bare OF shin
giles as the head of the average man OF
sc years is of hair Its form
is bent by the ravages of time
and the hard duties II has per
formed when it carried its load of hun
d,eds of souls. II should be retired from
active service. The people who patronize
not only the races but other attractions
the the grounds would appreciate
change.
The aiscontinuance Of the use Of the
two city scales in the dept district has
raised among the merchants are CON
PEELED by ordinance to use them thu
question as to whether or not the action.
Of the council does not inyalidate the
whole scales ordinance, and trouble is
expected to ensue as result.
Up to this time the corn crop has not
been materially damaged, but If the hot
weather continues another week without
rain the loss TO the farmers viii be
! great. The early oats fields which We're
| maturing, have been damaged by the
| d.outh and in number of Instances the
/ fields are being cut for fodder Negeta-
| BILE gardens and the late small fruit have
\ suffered most from the not ana dry
I weather.
So.
THO io,se is IN ono of tho members Of
no sra,sball county Humane Society

n;e.bt n, from Of his home.
