Explanation for Decrease.

It is noted that the population OF
Sumner county is steadily growing
less. The county has lost 5000 people
within very few years. This loss
is attributed to the wonderful agri-
cultural prosperity of the region.
The farmers have made money and
invested it in lands, thus steadily in
creasing the size of the average farm
and working corresponding reduc-
ton in the farming population.
There is one farmer in Sumner
county who own 1875 quarter sections,
or 10000 acres, and several others
own from 10 to 20 quarter sections.

IN CONCLUSION.
The fact that Broken Bow is to,
day far in advance as business, ed
ucational, moral and social town is
due to the excellent class of its citi-
zens, and | want to ask the further
co. cooperation of the people who have
made this condition possible, to as
sist in improving the outward ap.
pearance of the city. A general
cleaning up is needed. Haul out
your garbage, clean up your yards,
improve your lawns, keep
dawn your weeds repair, your
walks, and let us make Broken Bow
still better town than it has been
before.

of the citizens in general J., and | feel
like assuring our people in advance
that everything possible will be done.
ORDINANCES.
One Of the most urgent needs of
the city is to have the ordinances re-
vised and complied and published in
pamphlet form This has not been
done since 1894 and all ordinances
passed since that time can only be
procured by hunting through the
records of the City Clerk. The or
dinances should be in the hands of
all the citizens who desire them. If
this we're done many violations of
the city laws would DO avoided, /
would recommend that this matter be
referred TO the City Attorney for his
early action.
i A PERMANENT HOME.
A suitable location for the City
Hall is very much needed and plot
of ground of not less than fifty feet
frontage should be purchased on such
terms az the city can comply with,
and the city building moved thereon
The steady advance in property IN
, dicates that this should not be delay
, ed longer. The building of suitable
, place for the Hook & Ladder anC
Hose Carts, arranged for between the
| city and fire companies during thu
j., past year, as well as other improve
a ments, will then be of a permanen
a nature. A levy of two mills to create
a fund for the City Hall would, in
few years, give Broken Bow such
building as it needs.

SIDEWALKS AND CROSSING.


Perhaps the most important work
the Council will be called upon to do
this year will be to enforce the re-
pairing and re-. building of the side
walks of the city. ! believe it is pos
sible to arrange for sufficient funds
to put in sidewalks and tax the costs
against the property where the lot
owners refuse or neglect to comply
with the ordinance, and | emphatic
ly request the council to adopt such
measures as will be necessary to en-
force the re. building and repairing at
the earliest possible time. | would
recommend that new ordinance be
drawn determining the width OF
walks in certain parts of town, and
making such provisions rs are neces-
sary to enforce immediate repairs.
During the past year considerable
work has been accomplished in the
way of new cross walks, but large
nun Der of these are still needed and
should be put in. The committee OF
sidewalks and crossings have very
important work to perform, and the
I pride of our citizens should be suiii
cient to promptly comply with al
sidewalk requests without putting
the city to the trouble and eXpens,
of doing the work AMI taxing thu
costs against the property.

Opportunities
in the South

No portion of the United States
has made greater progress in the
last year or two than the South.
Northern and foreign capital is
rapidly invading that section,
finding profitable investment in
the various industries and fac
tories that are being rapidly de
veloped and built, The great
influx of settlers is creating an
increased demand for lands OF
all kinds and prices are gradu-
ally advancing, as they will for
wears to come. Work is plenti-
full and poverty practically UNI
known. Alabama is supplying
coal and iron to all the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor in the raising OF
small fruits and berries and in
truck patching on the Gull
Coast than in any other state III
the Union. Strawberries from
Alabama reach northern mark
cts before those from the states
in the southeast. Cattle can be
raised with great profit, there
being millions of acres of cheap
range lands. If your are INFER
ested in the south and its re-
sources and desire information
on any subject, address
