There is some talk of closing The
Y. M. c. A. rooms in Clinton, owing
to a lack OF money to run them. The
citizens of Clinton should be ashamed
to permit few dollars to stand in the
way of such an excellent institution
as the Y. M. G.. A. This association
is of just as much importance in
community as a church, and the help
and encouragement it gives to young
manhood has no money calculation.
If the people Of Clinton will consider
their own interests they will come tc

rather than lose that which will per
