Weeds are a big problem.

trait of postponing the evil day is
not favorable to an accurate in
Ventory and destruction is not
easy"

of the city for 1887 was complet-
ed this week and appears else
where in this issue in the annual

nections totaled $1,097.36, indicat-
ing an unusual amount of private
construction.

Labor association at Belview
Monday night, William S. Erwin,
state attorney-ge-eral, denied that

that there is dissension in the
group, it is stronger than ever"
he declared.

listeners that he has an active and
important part in the work of the
state executive council which has
