We do hope the people will keep the
grass and weeds down from around
their premises. Cut the weeds and
your property will look much better.
1t will only take a few moments with
each week. Strangers coming to our
city will think we have no pride in that
line. 1t looks fearful to see the weeds
take full charge of your lots and in the
streets. This fall when the frost nips
the weeds it will make lot of rubbish
on the ground to rot and decay. Rot
tan grass and weeds are breeder of
fever. The damp weather of late will
make much sickness, but the rotten
weeds will help the matter along. Do
for goodness sake take more pride.
When you see business house with
weeds growing all around it, it looks as
though you were long on weeds and
short on business. Our people had
orders not long ago to trim their trees.
Some of the people obeyed the order
and some did not. It's not fair shake,
Have all the trees trimmed. Have the
proclamation enforced.
