the cultiyatiop of cotton be abolished
on tt\e county poor house farm, te
and that grain crops, corn, wheat, oats w
aud i>ea8, together with vegetable crops, .
for inmaus be cultivated exclusively.
We understand that t tie to a portion
of the poor liouse lands is in dispnte.
We would recommend that the Supervisor

Continue Sidewalk onVirgin Street
We notice that the town council :
putting down h nice sidewalk and water
iraiu along in front of the Catholic
ihurch. This is a much needed improvement
as there are now quite a unmix r
>f residences on this street and the o? ;upants
should have a good sidewalk on
heir side of the street. We would su

lown the unsightly embankment aga:n t
ilurphy & Wallace's store and use the
ock from it to fix a good drain and crossng,
and grade the sidewalk up to Maia
treet. It would look mu m bette-;
rould allow the residents of that street
o reach Main street in bad weather
rithout liaving to wade through mud
