prize of $5 for each section. The as

council to offer a prize Of SIS for
the best kept premises In the town.
Following is the petition, which will
be presented to the council tonight:
"To the Mayor and Aldermen of
Seneca: AT the last meeting of the
Seneca Civic and Improvement Asso-
citation 1T was decided to petition
your honorable body to appropriate
the sum OF $25, to be used as cash
prize for the best kept premises in
the town. 1t was thought unnecessary
to call your attention to the benefits
arising from an offer of this kind, as
1T must naturally appear to you that
such prize will make the effort on
the part Of our citizens worth while,
and will doubtless appeal to you from
a sanitary, as well as an aesthetic
standpoint, the results being natural.
ly q town healthfuI as well as a town
beautiful. Respectfully, ~
Mrs. T. e. Stribling, Secretary"

We want to impress our country
friends with the fact that the pro-
posed flower show, which will be
held next fall, is intended for all
flower lovers and flower growers, and
not exclusively for the members of
the Civic Association, under whose
auspices the show is given. Nor is 1t
confined to the citizens of Seneca.
The main object Is to encourage the
cultivation Of flowers, and it is hoped
that flower growers throughout the
county will be interested and will be-
gin now to grow plants for the fall
show.
We don't know, but we think the
signs point to a lively contest for the
$25 prize the council is going to give
for the best kept premises In Seneca
We can almost count new lawn for
each finger, to say nothing of the
pleasing absence of tin cans and
other debris from the back yards.
And, finally, brethren, the very
fact that you say you are not COM
peting for any prize doesn't do away
with the fact that your premises are
inspected! M. ". s.
For Constipation.
