'' By decision of the city council St. Johns is to have n street sweoner, and it is only n question of solcction before sucli an inno vation will be secured to the city. Different vendors of sweepers will be given an opportunity to demonstrate the merits of their dirt removers, and then it will be a case of the survival of the fittest. That the streets need the cleanly ofllccs of a sweeper is discornable without the aid of a microscope and the dads have given evidence of wisdom in concluding to purchase a street aweopor. t That St. Johns will celebrate the glorious Fourth of July in a manner befitting that great day is practically assured. The Fire Department has taken the mat ter in charge and is seeking both moral and financial help for cele brating among the business men and citizens. And they are securing it. All are practi cally unanimous in agreeing that St. Johns should make the eagle scream this year since it has passed ui a couple of years with out indulging in a celebration. It is to be hoped that the project will meet with the approval and hearty accord of every citizen. It will bring visitors to St. Johns wno little realize wnai a mag nflont little inunicibality we really possess. All boost for a grand celebration on the Nation's birthday, and the Firemen will do the rout. -t- Tho Evening News has at last been caught in the toils.
