Mr. Editor:-We notice in "Local
Brevitics" Of your paper Of July 10Th,
"a little whitewash will add greatly to
the looks of the yard fence around the
Rectory at La Plata "
.'Rectory' is generally known as the
home of the Episcopal minister, and as
the Rectory of this Parish is not at La
Plata we presume parsonage, the home
of the methodist minister, was meant
We have been painfully aware of this
need since early in April, but as there
was, and is, SO much work inside as
well as outside Of the parsonage OF much
greater Importance than whlteE lshing
the yard fence, we thought we would at
tend to the work most needed for the
comfort Of the Pastor and his family
first. Have patience and in time the
fence will feel the touch of the white
wash brush. A new coat of paint would
a3i greatly to the looks of the parson-
age; but this we cannot do without the
much needed funds. and as some one hai
been so kind as to suggest the improve
ment of the fence, we suppose they will
be glad to show their interest by con-
trihqt,ng to the enterprise now in hand
improving parsonage and building {

How to Make n Live Town.

The people of La Plata who are
anxious to have the county seat in their
beautiful little village, should remember
that to make their town the most desir-
able place in the county for the public
buildings, they should do every thing
possible to build up business, encourage
business enterprises, and regardless Of
all ether considerations give each other
helping hand. On this subject the
llavre de Craze Republican says: "The
proper way to run town is to run it
with a vim. Those who differ on that
question should sell out and leave it,
Men who are always slow to support
home institutions do little toward build
ing up town. Either run the town
for all it is worth or quit the whole
thing, slide out and let nature take its
course. If you want business to come
to your town work for it, and encourage
others who are so doing. Bury all jeal-
ousy aud spite, work together for com
mon prosperity and mutual benefit. =
Wake up, rub your eyes. Borrow no
troubles, but make your place the best in
the land-a progressive and prosperous
town." f
