WORKING FOR THE TOWN.

The Newspaper That Booms It's Locality
Should Be Rewarded.
No other class Of business men take a
greater interest in OF do more for the
welfare Of the locality in which they
live than the editors Of the daily and
weekly papers, yet they are no more
directly benefited by the results of their
public spirited efforts than the mer-
chants and property owners who perhaps
neglect to have their names On the ed1-
tors subscription list or fail to adver-
tise in his paper. Here is a sample Of
what wide awake editor will do for
his town. The following is taken from
the jackson (Ky.) Hustler: y.
IF Jackson is ever a town Of any
considerable size, it must be made so by
the timber trade. There are tens of
thousands Of logs being foated past here
that ought to be stopped and manufao-
tured. 1t would add hundreds Of thou
sands Of wealth to the county, A market
would be created for beef, vegetables,
fruits, poultry, etc., that would enrich
the country people. Better prices would
be obtained for logs than are now re-
oe1ved at the mills below u.s. This in
dustry cannot be developed here with
out pond Of water in which to float
logs. Such a provision is Indispensable
The mills must be able to handle their
logs at any season of the year. This ne
cessity for high dam makes the need
Of bridge still greater. It is already
great enough, but the raising OF q dam
to furnish a pool for the mill men in
creases it, The time has come when
the progress of both the town and coun
ty is greatly retarded by the lack of a
bridge over the river at this place. We
have always believed that it would sub
serve the best interest OF Breathitt coun.
ty for the court Of magistrates to build
this bridge and throw it open to the
world free of charge, and thus make it
the peoples highway Let the magis-
trates be called together and act on this
momentous question"
If the people of jackson do not ap-
preciate such alertness for the public
welfare, it is to their own discredit.

PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT.
What an Earnest and Energetic COMMITTEES
Might Accomplish.

49, - Might Accomplish.
What do you. think Of a standing
committee on public entertainments
This covers a wide field, i SUCH a COM
mittee, made up of the live, wide awake
members of our local public organiza-
tions, could bring thousands of dollars
here every year. Here is plan Of oper'
aGon-in outline, Of course.
When a county fair is proposed, let
Che committee members see that it is To-
Gated here They should be on the look
out for conventions Of all kinds-reli
gious, political, labor, secret order and
the like. Boards Of trade are supposed
to look after such affairs, but it is not
exactly within their scope. A body Of
citizens organized for this particular
purpose would achieve far better re-
suits. It would not be a side issue then.
The advantages that would result
from the work of such an organization
can readily be seen. We would have
gathered here perhaps dozen times a
year representative men from different
! sections Of the country. Whatever Of
good there is here would be widely i'd
vertised. Directly there would be the
not inconsiderable sums Of money spent
by these bodies. Indirectly there might
be a gain Of a manufacturing enterprise
or perhaps Of several. The mere fact Of
convention Of any sort holding its ses-
sions here would add to our Importance
as a>town In the eyes of our neighbors.
Our hotels would be we'll patronized
and correspondingly improved. Itwould
make a commodious convention hall or
building paying investment as well
as necessity. Our transportation faoili-
ties would be bettered as natural Of
feet. In short, the benefits would be
evenly and generously distributed.
All that is required is little concen-
trated effort 1t would only be apply
ing the principles which make private
business success to public affairs.
IF our citizens and business men will
take hold and push such a scheme, they
will be surprised at the quick results
The details Of such plan will readily
suggest themselves to an Intelligent
man. The trouble to put such details
into operation would be small The
payment for such trouble would be swift
and sure. Let US have call issued
without delay and put to test the public
spirit and enterprise which our citizens
have often shown they possess.

It VIII BE q Costly Lesson.

In Lincoln, Neb., there is q firm of
smart business men who advertised so
literally last year that they have been
compelled to move into larger and
more commodioug store. Since their
change trade has increased so fast that
they are now confident that no more
advertising is needed. -,
Next year some other firm will have
secured still bigger trade and store by
advertising, and our friends Of today
will be forgotten. Then they will be-
gin to advertise again and learn, when
too late, that it takes a long time to get
up steam when the fire has been once
allowed to go out. -Printers' Ink

seated in big chair by the window en-
gagged in some sort of needlework. A
young man came in and paid his re-

then bowed himself out. Three years

Color and Emotion.

1t was not by accident that violet was
chosen by many nations as the exclusive
color for mourning, and by us also for
half mourning. Painters suffering from
hysteria and neurasthenia will be in
clined to cover their pictures uniformly
with the color most in accordance with
their condition Of lassitude and exhaus-
ton. Thus originate the violet pictures
Of Manet and his school. which spring
from no actually observable aspect of
nature. but from subjective view due
to conditions Of the nerves. When the
entire surface Of walls In salons and art
exhibitions Of the day appears yelled in
uniform half mourning, this prediction
for violet is simply an expression Of the
nervous debility of the painter. Con
densed From Nordau's Degeneration. :"
