Incidents ot Every Day Life Which Very Few People Stop to Think About on Account of Their Littleness In tlie spring the young man's fnncy lightly turns to thotightsof overcoats. Not spring overcoats, just common winter overcoats As we heaitl some one remark winter lingers in the lap ot spring. We ilont think that is the ease this year. We think winter has spring down ami is sitting on her. However, along about July or August we will bo wishing for a little cool weather. The probabilities aie that the "garden suss" will be a trillo late. If the snow and sleet had held olT till Easter Sunday, a number of people would have been ac cused of rushing tho season. That is as far as Faster bonnets and light spring wraps aro concerned. Speak ingjof Faster bonnets, etc., did you ever khow of a time in this city when 'it was as hard for a woman to find something to suit her competition. If there was but one bonnet in town it would just suit, but when there aro several hun dred to select from, she will hunt them all over and then can't liud anything that just suits. Since last week wo have got chickens of our own What wo s.ud Win too one sided e "tako it back." If your neighbors chickens not in iour garden just 'Shoo" them ; out Don't kill them Be kind to fft them. Throw out a few meiil and bread .craps for tlu m. They will as a rule eat that in preference io garden ".sass." . chicken is n dumb brute and should not bo maltreated. Treat them kindly and they will get so they like you. Then they wilt come audseo yon often. About every week someone has the temerity to ask why the city don't fix up the side walks. Tho only reason that we know of is that tho city don't have to lix up the side walks. It is the duty of every property owner to see that the sidewalk in front ot his or her place is kept in p-opcr repair If the city hud to repair sidewalks all over the town it wouldn't take long to use up what money the city can get Let the pi opei ty owners make it a MS IV '6-1 li . m & v 4 RVS 1 I To" he Business JVIen and People of Red Gload and Vieinity. i- I V W.
