all our citizens in this effort to
place tbe community in a spic and

during the summer months.
The services of Robert Bush and
Harry Cox, of Hensheystown, can be
' btained by the citizen;; to do the
hauling of the rubbish. It is suggested that ou'r citizens engaged
only responsible persons to do the
hauling, and to do otherwise might
result in the rubbish being deposited
on vacant lots near the town, where
dumping is prohibited and against
the rules of the Board of Health.
Let everybody in town co-operate
in this undertaking.

prosperity of Pennsylvania, and es-

Rbwuld ask his local candidate tor

"No," our advice is, don't vote fee
him on any consideration.
