SOMEBODY OUGHT

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, May %. Dear Sir: / observe,
that somebody ought to provide a de-
cent street crossing at the depot, north
Of the railroad tracks-just to accom-
modate foot passengers when 1t is SC
muddy as it has been Of late.
Somebody ought to prohibit the
practice Of emptying ashes, and Other
refuse into the street %gutters--or SEE
that it is prohibited.
Somebody should establish a grade
for sidewalks, and have them above
the level Of the streets and on a leve'
so that after a rain a pedestrian doe:
not have TO get of of them to keeT
out Of the water and mud-or see that
they are raised high enough to keeI
water and mud from settling or
them.
Somebody ought 10 annul the prac'
tice Of holding public sales Of stocl
and other personal property on the
streets at crossings, thereby blockad
ing them 10 the public, both on foot
and in vehicles-or see that it Is an
nulled. RUNABoUT.

To find il naught is naughty or not
what it ought to be, a committee
composed of four members Of the M.

tion win visit the Pike at the Worlds
Fair and report to the other members
at the regular meeting.
The decision to learn by seeing was
reached at a meeting OF the associa.

So unanimous we're the ministers In
supporting the suggestion made by
Rev. Dr.. j. w. Lee that for astime II
looked as IL it would be a committees
of the whole, but it finally narrowed
down to the decision that DR.. Lee, as
originator of the idea, ought to be one
member, Presiding Elder Sharp an
other, and Rev. Dn. McMurry an6
Bradteld the remaining two.
So interested did the ministers be
come in their selection Of the com
mittee that they neglected to specif.
what the delegation ought to class Al
naughty; what depraved, but interest
ing; and what measurably i~nstuctiy,
by merit Of contrast.
In accepting a place on the com
mittee DR.. McMurry said he would
serve II allowed to make the first In
yestlgation of the places visited anC
be allowed to report to the other mem
bers whether or not they should In

undecided.

and Arnold, the son OF Rev. ]. o.
Edmonston are implicated in the
"pranksn which have annoyed Hardin
College so much during the last few
days, we hear a good deal about the
old saying that preachers sons are
always to the front when anything of
this character is doing" Preachers
sons are probably like other peoples
sons, Just like most preachers are at
least part human. The point Is, thai
when a preacher or a preachers sor
gets out Of the beaten track there is
great deal Of advertising done in re-
gard TO the matter. Preachers boys
will be boys like other boys and will
have to take their medicine, just tn,

the annoyance about Hardin College
