 Our clever friend, Dr. A. D. Wren, of Laneburg, has our thanks for contributing to the wealth of the s'PIc., :" the other day. The figures printed with his address now read 1890, Why not all of our subscrib- CTS pay up and have these same fig ures appear with their names?

 While sister towns above and below Prescott are making steady strides forward, by inaugurating fairs, building factories, etc., what do our citizens propose doing? Shall we lie still and be completely out stripped? These are important ques- tions. Come out to the citizens meeting Saturday night, and let us see what can be done to advance the interests of our town and county.
 Our polite and popular Deputy County Clerk, MT. o. R. Mcdaniel, and the editor attended the singing at New Hope Church, near Lacland, Some splendid vocal music, lead by Mir. J. B. Hannah and others. At l2 o'clock a fine dinner was spread and Mir. F. C. Hayes invited all present to partake. Met num- Der of old friends and enjoyed the day. This is a good neighborhood- d clever, generous people.
 About a dozen attended the second citizens meeting Saturday night, and over until next Saturday night. Doubtless the threatening weather prevented a better turnout, but this was no good excuse for staying away, We trust there will be full turnout at the court house next Saturday night, and some real progress made toward improving our town and county, by putting on foot profitable public enterprises.
