They were lux- uriant and ux-uriantand really quite .proud of the fact that they had •stretched : up five or six feet. And this height was tirade more. apparent by- y the close cut velvety green sword of the boule- vard in front of the next lot. So they stretched out their branches and with the little hooks on their burrs, grabb- ed greedily for ladies silk stockings, scratched • the skin on bare lege,.end' o tickled the legs of trousers or slacks, in short tried to crowd pedestrians off the sidewalk. All this went on until Sunday night when one lone 1 Summer visitor stole out silently- ar deadof night and with her sickle laid those burdocks low. Now, poor things, they lie dead. But we pre- dict unless they arc thrown in the flames of a bonfire that hundreds will spring up' next year to avenge the foul crime perpetrated against their illustrious; parents. And we wonder if the "Queen Anne's Lace" doesn't shudder slightly as it views the fate of the burdocks. They have become quite at home on Main Street flourished and multiplied so that it would seem they no longer fear the Weed Inspector.Owing to the inclement weather the annual Carnival for war purposes was field in Clan Gregor, Square on July 27 instead of ,lvly 26 as planned.
