HAD BETTER BEWARE.
The chances for a man who is building
a fence on Harris avenue OF getting h hur.
are exceedingly good. Those VINO a.o
apt 10 do the hurting do not OBJECT 20
TO the builder getting at work at day
light and keeping them awake Tor NO
less than five OF the persons interested
do not get an opportunity TO go 10 peu or
called upon to arise until after 10 O'Clock,
go the man who is hammerng away az
the fence keeps the men awake when
they want to sleep. and one OF them
etarted out TO do something harsh to the
fence builder this morning. but was
stopped by his family. IL Will take about
ten days more to complete the fence ano
II seems TO be a question whether or not
will put up with the racket that long.
