What say YOU?
Patronizc home institutions. That's
what makes Il town proSpernds. This is
what the GOLD LEAF teaches, and still
there are dozens of ''home institutions in
Henderson that never contribute one dol
lar to the support of this paper from one
wear to another. But we are not restrained
in our laborS for the public good because
of any consideration Of this kind
Speak we'll of your town always and
work for its growth and prosperity. When
the people of a town devote themselves to
talking it up and to advocating its advan-
taees to every stranger that comes then
there is going to be growing, prosperous
city one of these days as the outcome. Petty
spites and preferences must sink out OF
sight in the interest of 4 common good &c
all.
Crow & MaIstOn, we are glad TO know,
are kept quite busy at their carriage and
wagon works, both in turning out new We
hcles and in repairing old ones. They
employ competent and experienced work
men, Mike Burrows being foreman in the
woodworking department and Arthur
Smerdon in the blacksmith shop. The,
send out none but good work and theil
charges are always within reason
Don't put it of Now is the time to lool
after the back Yards and cellars. Every
thing of Il decayed nature should be re
moved before the hot summers sun is al
lowed to generate a stencil that will fill
the atmosphere with disease and death
Clean Your premises thoroughly before The
Health Officer gets after You. Dr.. Arci
Cheatham is on his round of inspection
and you should not wait to be told Il
clean mp but do so at once.
