Referring to a recent state
ment in the Monmouth items of
the R.vr ekf-kisr, which has been
repeated several times in the
last few months, to the effect
that the side walks in this X'ity
are in a deplorable condition
and unless speedily repaired
other damage suits will follow,
we, tho undersigned citizens of
Monmouth, beg to say these
statements are not true and the
insinuations contained therein
do an injustice to the reputation
of this town and city authorities
who exerciso good care to keep
the walks in good condition.
While we do not claim that
our streets are laid with pave
ment or walks always in per
fect condition, yet wo do believe
and say the' are fn as good con
dition, 'and always have been, as
neighboring towns, our capita
city not excepted, and that no
one. with proper use of his phys
ical powers need have fear of
injury.

grown in the yards belonging to
Tedrow and Ruef.
Hop-picking began at Mr. lleb
