A few out -'of -employment men could'. be profitably' emvlayed in cut- ting dawn the rank Inas and 'bur- docks tfound Merle' and iheae on some of tine back streets., and even: front street, of our town. The pictures- queness of a town; famed for it beau- ty in summer should not be spelled by these obnioxitous growths. Axe - men, spare the trees where ne-eded, but clean out the burdocks. Owners of vacant lots and tenants of praoer- ty should eve a little attention • to the condition, of the street in front, of their prno•. erty. Visitors at this season of the year are numerous, and a little individual attention to this matter would assist much in keeping up the attractivenetss of the town.
