"A. II. Dawson, of esMoines,
Iowa, was in the city this week sup
erintending the planting Of trees on
his property on the south side of
West Third street. Mr.. Dawson is
planting the trees on one block for
the purpose of making it into a park.
The other block is being set to orna,
mental and fruit trees with the idea
of making it a fine location for a resi-
dence some time in the future.
We would like to see the city
authorities make something of a
change this year in the matter of
keeping the streets cleaned and re-
paired. There are portions of the
residence section where very little
work is put upon the streets. In fact,
,ntl;,r g Inpn tho,, tha ,N,Nu, |
ing of weeds with a moving machine
once or twice during the summer, md
not an extra good job at that. 1t
would be no more than just to at least
take the poll tax paid blythe residents
on any street and expend the
money on that street alone. If this
were done the residence streets could
be kept in better condition than at
any time in the past ten years.
The officers of the Retail Mer-
chants Assn of this state are making
great preparations for the annual
meeting which is to be held at Yank-
ton May 10, IL and II. Men who
have reached the top in that voca ion
will tell their brother merchants how
to get there. The list of speakers is
now being made up and includes
some of the most prominent men of
the country. Much has already been
done by this association, and efforts
will be put forth at this meeting to
start several things that will be of
interest to its members, as we'll as to
remeve some evils that now exist. The
social feature promises to be a great
affair, and that will be ia the hands
of the ladies of Yankton who are not
ed as entertainers. Every merchant
owes it to himself to become a mem
Der of this association and to lend
his energy to the work of accomplish
ing a few reforms that will be of
benefit to himself and to to the pub
lie. Mr.. D. HI. Lotus, of this city,
who is now president of the associa
ton extends a special invitation to
the merchants of Kingsbury county.
There were claims made that
certain parties voted illegally at our
city election last week. Late in the
week a warrant was issued for the
arrest of VIM. Dease on the charge of
illegal voting. The preliminary hear
ing was held Monday before County
Judge K. f. Green. The evidence
produced was held to be insufficient
to warrant binding Dease over to the
circuit court and be was discharged.
With another party Dease hired a
room in a house in Dodgersville on
