FIVE MINUTE TALKS.
Shreveport's Progress Versus
ShrevepOrt's Shabbiness.
NOTES AND HAPPENINGS.

With due credit to shreveport's notable
progress along many lines, there Is no
leesois aud dlsheartening lack of interest
ID some matters by no means unimportant.
We nave paved streets and beautiful con.
crete oarquettef, tut they are not kept
eiean-au contrAlre, debris of chicken
coops, piles OF beer kegs and other rubbish
<aeI moer the sidewalks in many places,
"niie iruit pealings are ever, W here q
menace TO the unthinking pedestrian.
AND our public squsre-the only one in
the eity-is a resort for the young vandals
OF the town. Ugly marks Of rayages are
seen In the SCARED trees and grass be.
strewn with hitler of all kinds. Eyi.
oences OF shabblness exist all over the
city and orr excellent mayor could nots-
oiy signalize bis administration by put
ting ''broom brig4den TO work, snd
require every shop keeper and householder
TO "sweep before his own door.n
sharp, vigorous and persistent meSsuI es
are necessary to bring about re lorns, and
we believe that OR mayor is equal to the
1FmerSency. We assure him, on our faith.
that If he will put ahc broom brigade to
work, and be q terror to the despoliers OF
property, the ladies OF Shreveport will
come to his aid and OF ganizs a street i'm,
proYement socity, such as Memphis and
many other southern cities can boast OF.
These street Improvement societies are
composed OF the influential snd Iublic
spirited women OF the town, aud their
special WORK is tree planting and the orna-
mebtation of pubic SOU ires. "
Another Matter that should engage the
attention of the city, is the care OF the cid
city cemstery. Here in God's acre repose
the sturdy pioneers Of this section, men OF
brain and brawD, whose perseverance,
courage and energy laid the ouudstions OF
a city IN the wilderness. Their grave
stones are moulderirg their names are
forgotten, saved by a few. In many in
stances there is not surviving member o.
these old families to preserve the grave;
from the ravsges OF time.

5f some years there was an active
Association, whose membership
paid monthly dues, and m ich was done tC

the Gem stery. But after awGile the meet

awhile there were no meetings called. The
members grew disheartene1 and stopped

But there are many true and devoted
members OF the old c mstery association,
who still hold themselves ready TO rsor

An Indiana woman past GO years old

At first thought 1t does not seem

loses much. A New York critic Of

seldom been paid.

take hold of social reforms. When
young men and women together bring
