The city fathers have done
passed a resolution prohibiting

It's a wise resolution. Most
every town has some such or

Ordained by the Board OF
Commissioners of Hendersonvllle
that it shall be unlawful for any
person to expectorate on any &C.

Just why the city fathers de-

ordinance to the cement walks
we see not.
If it's good for Main street it's
good for the side streets, too, and
the residents of the side streets
are entitled to the same protec-
