To large extent the papers of town
are responsible for the good name of the
town. Nearly every town contains OBJ
jectionable features, at least i'm the esti-
nation OF some Of its citizens, but the
wisdom OF condemning ourselves in the
eyes of the world every time something
or some condition arises to one individual
displeasure is very questionable. To run
down our own town is poor policy, rather
had we better stand up for our town,
even though conditions, socially and
otherwise be not to our liking. 1t is not
necessary that We close our eyes to these
conditions, rather that we work quietly
to their betterment.
God bless the girl who works She is

memory Of her sewed up in the adage,
climbing, struggling, rejoicing. The sight
should be all inspiration to us all. 1t is
an honor TO know this girl and be worthy
-.
