sweep the street in front Of their
premises was acted on last Friday by
almost everybody in town, and as a

manner. The streets have seldom
been cleaner than they are now, and
it will take very little trouble TO keep
them in this condition. Let all of our
people take pride in having public
and private property cleaned and
well-kept and attractive.

it very wise in the committee to select
