home to feed to their hogs. Large.
luscious cantalOupes were offered this
week at five for quarter. The market
has also been overstocked on tomatoes

have been sold for virtually nothing by
the producers who considered it better
TO take what little they might get
rather than carry them home.

TRANS are being subjected on account

saw a heavy one fail on the sidewalk
along the Latta property day or two
ago and if it had struck a pedestrian il
would have inflicted serious injury TO
say the least of it," A big dead limb
fell among some gentlemen sitting be-

ago; but fortunately nobody was hu I.
! Examination of the rows OF shade
/ trees on both sides of the streets dis
closes many dead limbs that look like
they might fall with but little inter-

a heavy wind always shows many dead
limbs lying about in the streets and on
the sidewalk Dr.. Erwin is of opin-
ion that careful examination OF the
trees for dead limbs, and the removal
of such dead limbs as look like they
might fall at any time will be n wise
precaution. Citizens of the town can
help the situation by reporting such
dead limbs as they know of and which
appear to threaten possible harm to
pedestrians, to the police.
