What Kills a Town.

People in too many communities
waste their time in making faces.
They will wreck their own interests
in iniuring some one else. They
permit envy and jealousy to blind
their judgments and dominate their
actions. To build up town, peo-
pie must pull together, not pull
down. In private business they
must compete. In public business
they must cooperate. Any other
policy is silly and suicidal, and the
evidence of a small mind. New
communities stand together better
than old ones, in which are animos-
tiles of long standing, social and
professional rivalries and deep-seat-
ed grudges. Hence, the older resi-
dents very frequently become big
oted and stubborn and mean, and
frst.class funerals become public
blessings, A mau who has grown
imperious and prosperous off of a
community until he cares nothing
for it, stands in the way of prog.
ress, and can serve it in no better
way than to get out of it.

Good Advice.

Robert Burdette has a son he is
pleased to call Telemachus, to whom
now and then he gives pretty sound
advice. Recently he said to him
Get away from the crowd a little
every day, mya boy. Stand to one
side and let the world run by, while
you get acquainted with yourself,
Ascertain from original sources if
you are really the manner of man
people say you are; if you always
tell the square truth in business
deals, If your life is as good and up.

at home, If, in short, you are really
the sort of a man your father hopes
and your sweet heart believes you
are. Get on intimate terms with
yourself, my boy, and, believe me,
every time you come from one of
these private interviews you will be
a stronger, better, purer man,

cotton will pull into that city today
The papers say the road will open
up a new country and build new vii

Shreveport will be benefited by the

The papers say that it is rumored
that the iron Mountain is to absorb
the road and extend it down the
west bank of the river, opening the
garden spot of the state.
1t makes no difference to Texark-

The news was brougt to Cape

when the Bertha left Cape Nome
the place was in ferment and mi
