A petition is being circulated In tht city and freely signed requesting cltj council or the pavng conimisslor (whichever one ls the proper bod) to bring the matter before) to havi thc grade on North Main street, be tween Earle street and the postofflce lowered considerably more tban ii I called for in thc plans prepared apro pos of the paving of this street. The paving commission sometime ago decided to lower the hill only or. thc u:?per, or east, side by bringing ll down to a level with the curb on tin west.side of the street. This would take about 18 inches off the east side of the street, In front of the residence of Mrs. Keed and farther up. The petition which ls being circu lated now calls tor the lowering of thc street more thau this. It ls suggestec that the work of excavating be started Bomewhe.ro along the front of thc Evans property, near the intersection of Federal and North Main streets lowering the street level some eight inches below the curb line there. Tht street from there on down to Earle street, on both sides, would be lower ed in proportion to the grade estab lished In front of tho Evlins proper ty. When the matter ls brought before tho proper authorities in the form of s petition signed by property owners and other Interested parties it is probable that they will see the wisdom of the Improvement and order lt carried out. It is believed that this will improve tho general appearance of North Main street a hmd'rcil fold. North Main street would he made to appear more level between thc square and the slight rise In front of the residence of Col. Jos. N. -Brown. As North Main street is to be paved with vitri fied brick, lt is believed that lt would be wisest to reduce tbe grade between Earle and Federal streets to a mini mum, as brick pavement becomes somewhat slippery In damp weathei and when covered with ice or sleet In winter time is somewhat treacherous. Beducing the grade would, of course, render the chances of horses or pedes trians slipping down on the pavement in such circumstances to a minimum. The Man Who Advert?aos. There are but two classes of mer? ? chanta-those who advertise, and those who do not. The man who ad? vertlses has the best of the deal. He keeps himself before the public-he keeps his wares before the public and h keeps their quality and price uppermost in the public mind. Peo ple talk about a man who advertises, because they know he has something worth advertising-or hu wouldn't advertise. CITKOLAX CITHOLAX! CITROLAX!
