sPRINGVILLE ITEMS.

THROUGHOUT ALL the years of her
commercial life, Sprlngville has per-
slstentIy refused to issue scrip. Cash
has been and still is the circulating
medium, and the people and business
men are happy that they have given
the Withdrawals q wide berth:

is quite as distasteful as it is inappro-
pirate to the people here. 1t will be a
meatless bone which citizens here will
nave to pick with certain county
paper, if 1t persists in calling every per-.
son who enters town by the southeast
road, Spring william"
TEE LATEST move in the way OF pro-
gress is the origination of a merchants
union, or local board of trade. II is
an suspicious day in the history of any
town when its merchants and leading
business men stand together and work
periodically for their towns and their
own interests. 1t was this principle
that gave such an impetus to D nyer's
growth and which fostered it on to sue.
cess, and it is this principle that will
help the interests of any town. or COM
munity. An application of this prin
slple is sort of home protection-not
in an ultra republican view, but in its
purest and simplest sense.

ALMOST EvsRY town has its popularity
or distinctive characteristic which
mark the habits and conduet-the
nsorole-ofits people to greater or less
extent. The distinctive feature of
without disparagement to
sister towns of the Territory-is her
tone and the generally elevated tastes
and progress CT her people. To illus
trate: The great majority of her mer-
chants have bank accounts, and do a
banking business by paying, all bills by
check. They, including the butchers,
have delivery wagons. and are applying
the best tactics of business. Aside
from these matters, it may be said to
Springville's credit that she tolerates
but little illicit liquor drinking, the PEG.
pie preferring rather to sustain their
free reading room. their local dramatic
ability, etc., to wasting their time and
their bodies in worse than desultOry
and dissolute habits by foolishly hang
ing around pool tables, guzzling odious
beer and listening to smuttv Jokes or
alleged 'crack" witticisms. The for
mer destroys the spiritual, the insellec
tual, the immortal part of man, while
the latter prostitutes all, and will at
length cast both body and soul into
nameIess sorrow and perdItion itself.
That the youth of Springviile are
priding themselves on being chivalrous
and polite in their department, is also
wor Thy of note. As result of this, we
see higher Grade of manhood and
womanhood developing. The young
mai imbued with this spirit, feels above
a groveiing act, and his young sister
would not be forgiven if her ''queenlyp
conduct was not fully Commensurate
with her brothers "prineely" deport-
ment. HE is below himself who is not
above an injury" is another principle
which this line of conduct lmpels.
Really. it would be,of great use to our
age if we adopted more from 5 our
feudal and chivalrous Progenitors.
We need in our social polity all the
knights and princesses we can get. We |
need those people, both old and young,
who would not only scorn to do an an
manly act, but who would blush for the |
faults and mistakes of others almost as
If they were faults and mistakes of their
own.
