Hicks. the great wcathcrprophrt.
predicts that October will he the

MIR. George G.. Kimmel requests
us 10 say TO the citizens of this city
that a committee will call on them in
a few DAYS asking donations TO help
pay for a display of fireworks during
Fair week. Since we can't have the
! Capahas We should at least remember
the braves by n display of fireworks.
Ono of these days We will publish
the personal assessment list of this
city. and then il will be seen that
pride and poverty does not go hand
in hand. If we are not mistaken it
will show that the poor classes pay
the taxes while the rich slip out by
false swearing.

We find that there are more peo-
pie opposed TO the water works pro-
position than We expected. Those
who are opposed to the proposition.
however, are not opposed to having
water works if they r assured that
the right kind of system would be
adopted. There are umerou sys-
tefhs of water works and some of
them are worse than none at all, and
this is what some of the voters seem
TO be afraid of.
DIR. Sam Harris SAYS we will have
street cars, and We have no right TO
dispute his word. The preachers tell
MS that If we don't quit lying We will
surely 90 TO hell, and We have no
right to contradict them, but we will
wait and see both hell and the street
cars before We will believe either DIR.
