and neglects getting rid of the water
turkeys, he should be made to pay for

A writer who evidently knows what
he ia talking about, gives this whole
some advice, which is good for any
kind of town:
Ii you want your town improved,
improve it.
IL you want your town to be lively,
he lively yourself Don't go to sleep,
but get mp and work for it, talk about
it favorably.
If you have property, improve it..
Paint your house. Clean up your
alleys aud back Yards. Make your
surroundings pleasant and you will
feel better aud your property will be
worth more in the home market.
If you are doing real well, invite
YOUR friends 10 come aud invest nesr
you.
Work steadily for your home deal
ers.
Keep your money at homo as much
as possible.
The successful towns are made By
property owners pulling together.
Public Improvement is an investment
that pays.
Don't waste your time. over dirty
auarrels and hold back your aid ior
good objects through spite. but work
| for some good, and you will ind your
self greatly benefited.

We learn that one or two promi-
nept planters in the second ward
thinking that they could help some Of
the drouth sufferers in our state wrote
to Ruston, stating that they could give
employment to seventy-fve or a hun
dred families, and that at the end OF
the year they could return. No atten-
ton was paid to their letters, and they
have written sgain and again, and still
they remain unanswered. Now it
seems to us If these people are in a
starving condition as it is reported,
they would be glad and willing of the
opportunity TO have employment ill.,
stead of living off of charity. 1t may
be that the letters were received by
persons who do not want TO see the
labor leave that part of the country
for fear of it not returning and would
rather see them starve and perhaps die.
Such a thing as this should be known,
