Still, this is what some unprincipled jack-a-nape has done with all the trees on the north side of old man Qualley’s residence lots. It is a genuine sacrilege and the culprit, if caught, will be most severely dealt with. Every citizen should consider himself a committee of one to protect the young trees from such depredations."
