One OF the largest crowds of country
people and phosphate miners sem in
/ Mt. Pleasant for many weeks, was here
Saturday, and as every one seemed TO be
! flush with money, trade for the mer-
chants was unusually brisk. 1t does
one good to see the signs Of prosperity
whioh are always so much in evidence
in and around this little city.
There has been a very noticeable i'm
provement 10 Mt. Pleasant within the
past several weeks, since the ordinance
against throwing trash on the streets
and piling boxes. etc, on the Sidewalks
has been enforced. The mp town streets
present much heater appearance, and
look much more business like. The pres
emit city administration is to be highly |
commended for the improvement they |
are making, and we hope the good work
will continue.
The list of. attractions and dates for
each of the coming seasons lecture
course under the management OF the n |

cursion on the 9th.
A sanctihed preacher attracted con- /
siderable attention with street sermon

notwithstanding the unusually large |
crowd in town Saturday, there was but
little disorder, and few arrests were
made.

ia IN tho |
streets over town are very noticeable,
and the coming of fall and winter wealth
or will find the tboroughfares in a much
better condition. Manv streets are be-
ing covered with crushed rock and grav-
el, sud quite good deal Of new brick
paving has been laid The brick side
walk has been extended to Bay Long
avenue, and sidewalk will soon be laid
from Hay Long avenue up Pleasant
Street.
Very little doing around the Record
er's Office Friday.
A fairly good week for phosphate
business.
A brick pavement is being laid from
Cooper's store to the Joe Winterich resi-
dence on Hay Long avenue.
The fences OF the Howard Institute
property are receiving coat Of white
wash.
On account Of the narrow width OF
Hay Long avenue at its junction with
the square, the street overseer has about
decided to put an underground drain
from the square to the little bridge q
the base of the slant. This is good
idea, and it would be beginning OF
what we have advocated for some time
as the proper thing to do where the flow
OF water lie great. and where the streets
are so narrow and bitches deep.
The readers of the Herald were told
that the editor of this department was
back. So he is. back in town, but has
failed to show up at his desk, leaving
the manager to tough 1t out as best
he can by himself. We have his word
however, that his pencil pushing will
show up in good earnest in the next is
sue.
