burglary of W. T. Flippin's store at
Cross Lanes The arrest was made by
Constable Vinsant Thursday London

That all destitute people are not
deserving was proven in the case of the
parties to which the Argus called atten
ton few days since. For six weeks
or more they had been kept up by the
ladies of the Charity Hospital and never
during that time have been satisfied
with what was given them. Organized
charity is the only way of reaching I'M
fortunates, so that undeserving may not
receive what others need. If those who
now give Unfortunately would turn
their contributions over to the hospital
much more good would be done
The citizens of the third ward are in
debted to Alderman Hayman for the
prompt manner in which he proceeded
about having the arc light, which the
council at a recent meeting at which
he was absent, had ordered located on
lower Main street. relocated at the
Merrill crossing on the Frisco. He
stated truly that the citizens of the third
ward had some rights which the balance
of the city should respect AS it is,
they are virtually cut off from any of
the benefits of the water work system
and yet are taxed for it just the same.

While some of our officers deserve
the "calling down they are receiv
ing, it is also fact that it is impossible
for one night policeman to furnish pro
lection for the whole town. While he

another.
The Argus is right in its statement
that there is a system Of sewerage badly
needed in Van Buren,. 1t is something
The Press has called attention to for q
number of years, but the city has never
been in condition TO take up the matter

are in good condition something looking
toward a system Of sewerage should b,
done.
