It looks shabby and badly needs a coat of paint. Ill appearanoe does not make favorable impression on the new comer. I wish our city fathers would see to it that it is made more attractive and it would help that part of the oity, too." "Now, Mr. Courier mau I am not a knocker, but I do really object to the muddy crossings in the business portion of Grants Pass. That man who sprinkles the street never lets up as they do in other cities, bat puts dose of water on the crossings, so we ladies have trouble in crossing with out getting our clothss soiled. Why, sometmes I have to go up a block or two in order not to have to walk through the mud. Can't you say a word to him for us?" was the ap peal of a prominent lady in this oity. R. H. O'Neill, the Graots Pass house furnisher: "Does Courier ad vertising par? Well, I should say it does. Why that "cat" ad of mine in your paier in bringing me all kinds of returns from all ,ovur the city and county. Yes, I know now, for a cer tainty that the people of Josephine county read the Rogue River Courier aud don' you forget it."
