On some of them ci orient walks ware laid, and these nave been the pride of the town over since. In 11 ier places buildings and trees have been removed improving the walk to some extent. But still there is very much to be done. In olacos there are trees and roots growing in the middle of the i path, and other places havo structures extending beyond the proper lino, 80 that those who use the walks cannot steer a straight oourse. Qi one important sidewalk in the town on toe street nexo to Main, tree roots seriously oh 1 struct it and walking is very difficult. It is in one of the most populous sections of the town at that. If nothing else could bo done, we ' see no reason why a few roots could * not bo cut out and the trees re* ' moved. Sometimes thirds are not * done because no complaint is made. ' There can be no such excuse now in * regard to this pariioular matter. -) The Mosely Sale. p On last Salesday a lot of land con g taining eight acres at Loris, known I as tho homestead of Norman Mosely _ I was 9old at public sale, and went off , I at the bid of $1800 00 x'his bid however was made in the interest of the holders of certain creditors who held mortgages on the place.
