One day last week DR.. C. A. Martin
received through the mail an anony-

as City Health officer. Doc" says he
is not pertubed by the inference but
ne has a sorry opinion of one who will
send an anonymous communication on
on any subject it has too much the sem
blance of black hand. He says if you
We got anything to remark, say it
over your own signature. It will then
have some force.
The communication began with a
clipping from the Beaumont Enter
prise. about the grass from the side.
walks in Beaumont, to which the fol-
lowing note was added:
How about it Doc, other towns are
at it, must we live in bog? Tell the
Mare about it also his off mule the
street Commish. Lets get to work
what do you say"
We do not know what the Mare"
and the street Commish" think a.
bout the matter, but if the writer had
signed his name to the communication
1t would have signified his willingness
to cooperate in making the town what
it should be. Mostly the grass on the
sidewalks is the fault of careless pro-
perty owners who lack civic pride.
Possibly the writer of the anOny-
nous piece would do well to look over
his own domain and see if it is beyond
criticism.

THIEF ENTERED
GOLDSMITH STORE

Some time Sunday night sneak
thief entered the S. Goldsmith store,
making away with some chothing, the
exact amount of which Mr.. Goldsmith
could not determine.
Entrance was made by removing a
name in the sky light, rope serving
as the means of getting down to the
floor. The thief upset several boxes
Of silk shirts and piles of clothing and
after securing what he sought depart
ed through the back door leaving 1t I'M
fastened. Barefoot tracks showed con-
cIusively that the job was performed
BY a youthful misrecreant. Mr.. Gold
smith believes it was local talent and
that he will soon have the identity of
tie perpetrator, who, if apprehended
will be taught good lesson.
The Feed Well Cafe was also broken
into the same night, but nothing was
taken, the chief reason being that
there was nothing there to take.
