The station and ad jacent bi(lldings have aii been newly painted and the grass plots neetly trimmed. The Sinclair Station, recently taken over by C. E. Watts, and located at Market and DeKalb streets, under went a transformation recently when the new management did a fineyjob of renovating both inside and out. The place presents an attractive and neat appearance now. ...r.. • • • • Whitaker and Co., now located in their new quarters, on East Rutledge street, have greidly improved tho premises and also added an addition on the east side of the original build- ing.

It was impos sible to keep the sand and dirt clear ed away with brooms and shovels. The new sweeper does a fine Job. • • • • One of ths most attractive pictures we have to look at is the gardening effort of Mrs. A. C. McKaIn, Hamp ton avenue.

Meedless to say, the hose, 1000 feet of it, has been sent .back. • « • • Myers says he believes that the error was just one of those so com mon now because of inexperienced help In manufacturing plants. “The city has purchased hose from that outfit for many nuiny years and nev er had any trouble before,” said Myers ■ • • • Painters have been laboring on the building occupied by the Service Mo tor Company, C.

The wavering messy traffic lines at street intersections have given place to well painted straight lines. • • « • Now If tho light and water depart ment would put some paint on the rusty, weather beaten light standards, things would be greatly improved. Fire hydrants also need ar coat of paint. We suggest "these hydrants be palbied fire department red.
