score of so to |. The game was

them being two and three base

A Word or Two About Guide Boards.

The town board this spring pass
ed resolution providing for the
erection and maintenance of guide
boards at all cross roads in the
town. This is very commenda-
BILE action on the part of the boar d
and one that should have been in
auguratcd long ago. 1t is some
time since this action of the board
was taken and now every cross
way and fork of the road is orna-
mented with a neatly inscribed
sign board proclaiming to the
weary traveller the distance he
must travel to reach his destina-
ton, that is, providing it is any
other place in the town excepting
Eagle River, While the distance
to all points reached by wagon
road from this place is correctly
given, still, through some mistake
no doubt, Eagle River does not
appear on any of them. This, TO
most people may not appear as a
very important matter, but to those
who are using the country roads it
is a matter of great importance,
especially strangers, Only few
days ago travel stained indivl-
dual stopped one of our citizens
at fork Of the road within sight
of The town, and after scanning the
the three guide boards by the side
of the road, turned and asked
how far it was to Eagle River and
which road he should take. This
is only one instance. Many SINH
liar ones have occurred, and it
seems to us that something should
be done to rectify the mistake,
which evidently has been made
in omiting Eagle River from the
boards.
