The ordinance providing for the removal of overhead signs from Washington street was passed and will be in effect as soon as legal publication is given. The ordinance for the removal of snow and ice was passed to the third reading but will probably be allower to die as in many cases it is impossible to keep the ice from the sidewalks on account of the walks being lower than the grade. Miss Martha Long went to Marion, Ind., today, for a visit of a week with Miss H&llie Davis, who was her roommate at Western College at Oxford, and who has visited her here. Today is as handsome a day as one could ask -for. A bright sun, warm enough to dispel most of the snow and start a drying process of the streets and to supply a cheer .that comes so pleasurably in spring, has been busy since early morning, when it took ' several hours to shake off the chill of last night when the mercury sank to 10 degrees above zero. This is the kind of a day to entice people out who have been housed up much of the time during the winter and we saw' M. P. Comer, of near Aix, on the streets. Mr. Comer has been having bladder trouble and still has it although’ he is some better. This was his first trip to town 'since Thanksgiving. “Uncle” Isaac Walker, of Barkley township, was also tempted out by the fine weather. He is 76 years of age and several months ago had a fall from a haymow, which is calculated to do considerable bodily harm to a man of much younger years. He has never fully recovered but is looking much, .better, than he was in the fall.
