There wasn't what yu might call a decent feii'e In fro, it of any resldcni-c, nor could oin- find ten roils Ii good alde- walk. Hogs and cattle were allowed to room nt large, the streets were full' of holes, mid our courthouse was a dis grace. It was what you might truth fully call a slipshod, ramshackle town, and It seemed as if everybody who could sell out was ready to do so and get aw ay. There wasn't a place In the town but that had gradually deterlo ruled In value, ami rival villages hud drawn iniieh of our trade, "Well, It all Iwgan by my speaking to my wife nnd linking her to make a move In ibc mailer. Hhe got three or four other women Interested, called a meeting, 11 nil a committee was appoint ed. When they bad got to work I called for a meeting of the men, and it was agreed Hint we should take a hand and do Koiiiellilng for the town. Wo first took hold of the streets nud filled and graded them. 'J lnit was done at jiubllc expense, as were also the repairs to tho courthouse. Then we took the Idv walks block by block. We got our! lumber cheaper by contracting with one dealer, ami the work was also done by 0110 contractor. The next thing was Hie fences, and we pursue.! the same policy. The pnllit nnd oil were bought at wholesiilu and every citizen painted his own fem-e. Oneduy twenly-two women turned out and handled the brush all day long. "Of course we bad a few Itlp Van Winkles who wanted to continue tliclr slumbers, but after a few Improve mollis had been maile they began wnk lug up mid doing their share. We atarled our work about Hie middle of April, lleforo snow fell wo had made a new (own of It. Not a dwelling or fence was left unpointed. We had good walks, goisl streets, flowers and shrubs everywhere, mid the railroad company gave us a new depot of brick. The men-hauls woke lip and began to put In plate glass froiils and to adver tise, uml all their lost trail,' came back ami moro wllh It. One of Hie things we did was to clean out all Hie wells In town. There were nearly Hull of them, and some of tin-in had not been pumped out for twenty years, 'the year before we started In we bad eighteen cases of typhoid fever. The year lifter we had not one single case. Some of Hie house holders had to run lu debt to make Ihelr Improvements, but us 1111 offset real crilate is worth ... per cent more toduy.
