More, Not Less Hitching Rucks.

There are whisperings of a move to take out the hitching racks about the court house. Now this may be all right for the purpose of beautifying the square, but as a business proposition it is bad. What is needed is more hitching posts, and until a suitable place is obtained elsewhere no curtailment of the present privileges should be thought of. Remove the hitch ing racks and you remove the teams from the streets to be sure, but you also remove them from the town and the immense business they represent goes with them toother towns.
