Milk takers have been notified that
after the 18th inst. the price of the
lacteal fluid will be Is cents per quart
in this town. The reason given is
the high price of COW feed. Why
the ducc don't this COW owner turn
his cows into the street? There's
some good, cheap Bermuda grass
along South Prospect street and
alongside the cement walks on other
streets that is just waiting for
more cows. Fifteen cents quart for
milk; Holy Moses, but that is high!
Not another town in all the country
that makes the charge, except in trust
ridden places like Crescent City.
An item of deep interest to the

family resided for several winter sea-
sons and where the young lady con-
cerned, because of her beauty and

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. H. Herrick of |
