J. B. DENTON

That the hard times of which we

feeling of distrust on the pnrt of bus

do not BtM merely distrust on the

When business men launch out
and prepare for the transaction of a

safely expect that there will be an
improvement In business conditions.

There is one way In particular in
which the city may be made beauti
ful by a concerted effort on the part
of the citizens, and that is by the
