Simple Justice.

EDITOR DISPATCH Certain
wealthy men in the control or
thickly settled parts of our city,
who have elegant homes. cement
walks, city water, sewerage, gas
and electric lights, police pro-
lection, all paid for or made ac-
cessible, to them by our com mon
taxes, are chronic grum blers
when those of US less fortunately
situated ask only for simple JUS
tice, that we too may have such
comforts. necessities and pro-
lection. 1t is an indescribable
fact that objections to the re
quests we make from the city
authorities, are rarely made
by the middle class people, out
by those whose wealth and re
finement should prompt a more
liberal and commendable spirit.
No one denies the wondrous
growth of our city, and every one
rejoices at it. To meet this
great growth and improvement,
simple justice demands some adj
ditional expenditures. The city
has put its octopus tendrils out
and at one stroke absorbed into
its body, at least two thousand
additional population, and added
hundreds of thousands of our
property to it's taxable list. In
return for this we have not a
single electric light, a policeman
is a novelty, we have nothing but
shallow sipe wells, the greatest
of typhoid fever breeders, and if
our homes catch fire, our wives
and children must suffer as we
have no city water anywhere
near us. We think we reason
able, when we humbly request to
share the blessed privileges as
we'll as being burden bearers
paying taxes. Our ward repre-
sentative says the city has nc
money to grant our request with.
Then do by us as you did before,
vote twenty or If need be twenty
five thousand dollar bonds, to
make the the improvements with.
Our part of the city is the ac-
knowledged present and future
manufacturing portion Of t.
Hundreds of worthy homes have
been built, there are more being
built there and will be built there.
The starting this fall of new in
dustries will add one thousand
high priced skilled mechanics,
including their families to our
population and our store custom
ers. Is it reasonable to dunn
these people out there under
present conditions? We think
not and appeal for relief to our
council and the generous approx
al of noble public.

a great deal Of fever and Mr..
Cass. West has two children,
Miss Fleeta West and Mr..
Homer West, who are just now
victims Of slow fever. Their con
ditiOn was quite serious the past
week and it gave their friends
and relatives cause for great
anxiety.
The friends of Mr.. S. L. How
ard in this county regretted to
learn last Thursday morning
that the Dreaded Messenger had
at last claimed the spirit of his
wife after a lingering illness with
consumption. Mrs Howard was
in the prime Of life and besides
her husband she leaves four
children to mourn her death.
The funeral was held last Friday
morning and many friends at
tended, paying this last mark OF
respect to her memory.

com bining as it did not only
every good thing that the hospi-

provide for the people present
but fine barbecue as we'll.
After dinner the crowd enjoyed
a game of base ball between
teams representing Robertson s
