We would like to see our beauti-
full shade trees whiteWashed-that il
to say-the body Of the trees. Il
would not only lS5k nice but wouIu
tend to preserve the trees by killing
out the insects which sometimes de-
stroy very beautiful shade trees.
What 1Say our Board of Aldermen?
There is no more beautiful or in
Viting place in the city during these
hot evenings than under the shade
of the giant oaks on the court house
green. This place has recently been
cleaned up and beaUtifei and is ii
nice place to cool Off at and rest. But
the addition Of a number of nice
seats would help the looks of the
place and makeiJ8tlII more inviting.

We are reliably informed that
there is q movement on foot among
the truckers Of this city and section
to sign z contract with The Southern
railroad to urn yer all their truck
to them hereafter, provided that
they put on a special truck train to
handle the vast amount Of truck Of
this section, which viii have the
right of way and deliver the truck
without delay. The truckers and
shippers of this section have suf-
fered considerable loss from the
poor transportation facilities which
have caused a decided d8lay-from
the time tho truck was loaded on
cars IN this city until it reached
the marketing place-from 24 hours
10 . day5, q III many instances,
when finally it did reach its desti-
nation it was rotten and unfit for
sale and was a total loss to the
shipper. A letter received in this
city by one OF our SHY yer5 from
Denny d Wight Commission Mer-
chants of Philadelphia dated May
18th, says that 3 car loads of perish
able goods were thrown up the day
before, on the hands OF the railroads
as they would not have brought
enough to pay freight. They also
advise that our truckers use refriger-
ator cars TO ship their beans in, IN
order that they may get something
out Of them, which is more than
they did from their peas
Fire at Dudley.
