Hitch Posts Located at Convenient Points for Farmers.

The city council has certainly done its part toward assuring pur friends in the country that there was no disposition to inconvenience them when the order was made to prevent hitching horses along the main business, streets. They directed Marshal Shesler to pul; hitching posts, back of Eger’s grocery store and back of the mill and this work has just been completed. There are now 21 posts at the first named location and 14 back of the mill and as soon as the woodpile near the mill is removed it is the intention to put a number more posts along the river bank. Ren.* selaer wants the farmers to come here and wants to make It just as convenient and pleasant as possible for them. The action of the council, which is composed of active businessmen, is proof of this feeling. The solution of the slight misunderstandnig following the hitching post order should be satisfactory ail around and serve to bring into closer relationship the business and country interests and our fanner friends should show their appreciation by trading with the home merchants, who are the most reliable, the most satisfactory, the most anxious to please and the success of whom helps to develop the country. A good country is better if there is a tiptop good town in the i center of it. Rensselaer is, therefore, as much the property of the country people as of the town people, and every dollar sent away detracts from both town and surrounding country. We are strong for home trade, because it means so much to the community interest. The hitching posts will make trading more convehient and should satisfy every demand Qf those who took offense at the first order by officials.
