A Paper for fth l of People Who ant the Latest News. TRENTON, N. G, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER, 2 1897. What Should be Done, Oh the street, the street the grown up street, That we have to walk on with our little feet. Here I am again getting off on a subject, that has so many obstruct ions, it is just impossible for me to proceed further. The w eed, the weed, the nox ious weed, On which the calves of the com munity won’t feed. 1 suppose 1 should have been a poet, but if I had nothing to write about but the streets and the weeds in our town, I would be found away back of every one when the general roll is called, and I couldn’t possibly get there in time to answer to my name We all go for civilized people and why not have a civilized looking town, and not have it looking like the jungles of Africa. With but a very little expense the streets could be rid of most of their under growth, and the improvement it would make would just be won derful. In a few weeks we expect in our town people from far and near; cot ton will be’ brought here to be sold and people will come here to buy it and mark it down, they will take par ticular notice of our town, and we all want them to say a good word for us, but they can’t. The Trenton High School has opened and a large number of students are expected in a few days. When they write home about the town, what will they say? they cannot say much in its behalf, as to its good looks, and it might keep people from locating here, that otherwise would, if every thing was in good condition. . Now there is anothor thing that we think will be well to speak of, that is see if the county commission-; ers will not have the court house lot cleaned off. It is a perfect old eye sore, and it does not speak well for the county. These things should have been attended to before this, but we have kept quiet hoping that it would be done. * There are other improvements that could be made on the streets, but we will not mention them now. All we want, and would like to see at present, is the weeds mown down on the streets and court house lot, so the. cows and hogs will not be so eager to visit us. They find good pasturage on the streets, aud I know Mr. Bradshaw is getting tired running the cattle out of town. Now we hope, to not have to wait until nature, with her unever failing sithe "Jack Frost” conies, before these weeds are cut down. * I will not say more at present, so good by. w. z. c. Maysvile Items, We hear Mra.Truckner Intends mov ing next week. The flrst seed cotton was sold In thin piece to the Mayevllle Supply Co. Aug. 21 st, five days sooner than last year.
