Asheboro was put in spick and span shape a few weeks ago in preparation for Chautauqua, and now comes the real test as to whether we are to have a elean town.

But they are seen. If they are not seen from the street, they are seen by the neighbors on either side. Your back yard is your neighbor's back yard. The flies and mosquitoes which which are bred there go over to your neighbor as much as they go into your own home.
