Princeton is Avery pretty little
Berg situated in the southeast COR
ner of Mile Laos county on the
Waters of Rum river. In the city
limits may be found Hills and
Mounts that add to the attractions
of the town. Although no Parks are
to be found within its boundaries
there are several not far away.
There is no Zoo here, but Campbells,
Martins, Fishers, and Foxes are
often seen, also occasionally Coon
eying you as you pass along the
street..
The town has nominally republic
Can form of government, neverthe-
less there is a King who holds I'M
disputed sway over a number of the
Inhabitants. There are Houses and
Holms, note the distinction, as
house is not always a home; by the
way, we think the number and
beauty of the latter would be in
creased if there were no saloons in
the town.
Princeton is well supplied with
churches and Ali are quite well at
tended. The pastors seem to take
an interest in the physical wants as
we'll as looking after the Soules of
the members. The kind Services
of some of these ministers will al
ways be remembered.
In the town are many brave men
and maidens fair; some Cravens may
be found. but we should not advise
the using of the synonym "coward'
in speaking of them. Many well
dressed ladies may be seen on the
streets, Moore especially in the style
of Coates are they particular; Brown
seems to be the most popular color.
Strict attention is paid to the reg
ulations in regard to reckless driving
and one who is guilty of such misde-
meanor is apt to run against a Post.
The Young men of the town are
quite persistent in. their undertake
