Clean Up and Keep Clean.

We commend the following, which
we have clipped from a Western
paper, to our citizens and the city
council:
This paper will have much to say
this spring about the above subject
There is no reason why we should
not have the cleanest town in the
state, even if we canot boast of the
largest. Every man, woman and
child in this town ought to respond
to the appeals being made to make
This town neat and attractive and
clean and sanitary. 1t is only a
small matter for each family to
clean up its own premises, but with
every family in town doing this the
whole town will not only present an
attractive appearance but will be
more beautiful as we'll Let every
one join in the war against dirt, dis
ease, rubbish, uglincss and indiffer-
ence to the public good, and when
the town is in the condition il should
be, let every one help to keep it so
Thls town is in urgent need of
cleansing and purifying after the
long winter dampness, and all effort
to this end will bring reward a
hundred fold"

enteen miles that morning and was
as fresh as If he had only taken a
