Everybody thinks the bichloride ;n-
stitute u good thing for the town, but
Is anybody willing to leave tho store,
the Office, the shop or the counting
house to assist in securing It? So
long as there is no interest manifested
by business men in public affairs we
cannot expect to get much In the way
of hospitals, manufactures, railroads
or anything else. 1t lie not the duty of
one man to work for public institu-
tions, but It is the duty of all citizens,
and if our people would take half the
interest in public affairs they do in
politics there is no question but that
we would secure many things that are
now going around US. OF course II is
very important that colored member
of the school board should be elected,
but we might obtain the institute too,
aud It is a question if the hospital
would not be of more actual benefit to
the town than the colored member.
