Tn. Editor: The writer would re
s;ectfu!iy call the attention of our town
authorities through the columns of your
paper to the disagreeable and sometimes
l daugerous habit, of having its streets
, carpeted with grape hulls, and especially
'along the thoroughfares of our town,
j It is indeed a serious inconvenience
j besides endangering the lives of its

Jas. A. Harrell's store of business, sud
dently lost his foothold and fell sprawl
iug on the ground. Hapily no bones
were broke, else perhaps, we might have
been burdened with a suit for damages
ending in relieving our town Treasury
of another five hundred dollars.
But Mr. Editor, this is not all that
places our citizens in uncomfortable
positions. To be walking down Cheap
side, and suddenly run against one of
the many dry goods signs to be found in
that locality, is indeed a source of great
annoyance.' To see a peibou in the hurry
of business, and suddenly confronted by
a huge over-coat that some luckless pass

parient anger fall upon its victim, in
flicting lasting if not dangerous wound3.
This Mr. Ed;tor should have been looked

of the wricer, that you constantly urge
that such matters should be attended
to. Yours Respectful'y,
