DEC 19 1811 Loolc After tlie Sidewalks The city authorities should brace up and try and enforce the law in regard to keeping the sidewalks clear of obstructions and in good repair Many of them are almost impassable now and will become worse as the winter advances Orders innumerable have been issued by the various City Councils requiring the property holders to repair the pavements in front of their property but we do not remember a single instance where the order was ever enforced There are numerous squares in South Frankfort where the sidewalks are in such condition that they are dangerous to the lives and limbs of sober pedestrains who have to pass over them and sure death to the drunken man who undertakes to wrestle with them On the North Side they are not quite so bad but still they arp a disgrace to the city A lady who was passing along one of the principal streets a few days ago slipped on the sidewalk and fell bruising herself very badly and felt very much outraged that the city should suffer the sidewalks to get into such a wretched condition This matter should be looked after the Council should not be content to issue an order but display a little backbone in seeing that the order is strictly enforced after it is made We understand that the present Council has this subject under consideration and will issue an order warranted to stick when promulgated but the winter will be gone before they move in the matter A Double Funeral Friday morning of last week Judge Harry Hardie of Bellepoint was found dead in his bed a notice of which appeared in our last isBue It was arranged that his funeral should take place Sunday afternoon Just before the hearse which was to bear his remains to their last resting place arrived at the house his sister Miss Margaret Letcher Hardie who had been an invalid for years suddenly expired The funeral was postponed until Monday afternoon when brother and sister were borne to the cemetery at the same time and now sleep the last sleep side by side The sad and unusual sight of two hearses in the same procession is one not often witnessed in this community mm iiotli Dead Mr Stewart Gayle and wife of Avhose dangerous
