attractive to visitors and are the pride and glory of the denizens thursday last was tilsonbnrgs first arbor day and was a grand success con siderably over three hundred maple and walnut trees were planted the council took the best means for having the tree- planting part carried out they employed men for two days before to select trees for the citizens to plant rows and doable rows of neatly planted trees can be seen on almost every street and in a few years the town will be like one grand forest that is if every tom dick and harry does not go tying their horses to the trees and the boys
