The muddiest place in town is on Franklin
street. Three years ago it was given a coating
OF clay loan which contained not a particle of
gravel and when the streets everywhere else

first put on it was ankle deep. This clay loan
is said to have cost Is cents load and to have
been hauled a long distance.
The Easter windows in the stores were I'M
usually attractive this season. The aeroplane
in James H. Howes' window attracted much
attention. 1t is the work of little Carl Darby

Is OF wood and the decoration of Easter hand
kerchiefs while the chickens and Dummies in
charge add to its attraction.
The attention Of those who intend to exhibit
