Last Monday night was the regula,
drill evening for the Manning Guards.
Only few members turned out, not
enough to meet the requirements oi
the law. The law is that at least six
teen men must drill one hour for
twelve drills, and the officers of the
Manning Guards have arranged it so
that the drills would take place once
a month. It does really seem that
our young men could muster ur
enough energy to drill one hour 8
month. It is not the fault OF the
young men alone, but the older ones
are very much to blame for not en-
couraging the young men to keep uE
their company. 1t was decided Mon.
day night to cali the company to drill
on the evening of the Oath inst, when
it is to be hoped that a full number
will turn out.

There are quite a number of very
fine building lots in this town, that
are sadly in need Of houses or in neec
of change of ownership in order
that they may get into the hands o.
people that have the welfare of Man
ming at heart. As long as property i:
in the hands of its present owner;
just so long will the lots remain va
cant, and the sound of the builder:
hammer be silent. It is impossible
for any town to grow if the people in
it hold their property at unreasonable
prices, and thus prevent its getting
into hands that will build and beau
tifv. Some of the most desirable
building lots in this town are withou
buildings, and it is a known fact tina
tenant houses are in demand. Store:
cannot be procured simply because
the property owners will not build o.
sell their lots at reasonable figures
The building and loan association wa:
started 10 assist persons in building
and there are quite number tha
are anxious to buy lots, but they sa,
: that in order for them to purchase {
lot they will have to pay more none.
than three lots Of the same size arr
worth. Until the present owners o
lots realize that it is not only to th'
interest of the town but to their Owl
interests to build up these vacant lots
our town may expect to he RETARDED
in the struggle for success and pros
perity.
