of you fellows and tell my idea Of an
improvement that can be made by the
city and with the aid of the citizens,
which will beautify Gordon's Creek
and increase the value of real estate
in the city wherever the creek
touches" And Badly spoke in most
confident and business-like manner.
Don't you know, Badly, that il
there was anything in plan to in
crease the value of real estate, that
plan would long ago have been worked
to a finish by the astute and wide
awake realty agent-and don't you for.

with look of superior wisdom.
well, l know one thing-that out
in San Antonio, Texas, the river ram
bles through the city just as Gordon's
Creek does here, touching ip the bust
ness section and running through the
residence section, and it was neglect
ed and uhcared for, for some years. In
those years the house-holders and
business people got the habit Of
dumping all their refuse on the banks
and in the stream itself-until it was
a sight to behold. One could stand or
a bridge, in most any section of the
city, and as far as he could see, up Oh
down the stream, there was collec
ton of old tin cans, bottles, goods
boxes and other refuse" And Badly
Strengthened out to finish his stor.

you certainly had nice little time
of it, I'm thinking" said Fatty, land
can only wonder why you were trac-
ing the stream-I know you were not
trying to catch fish in it-for credit
you with some sense, so I can't see for
the life of me why you were trapesing
around in any such manner"

hammering of that paper the city
council put the IRE department at
work deepening the stream by scour-
ing its bed of the filth and refuse
imbedded there. The firemen were
daily seen wading around in their rub
Der boots, flushing the stream through
the fire hose connected with the fire
MAINS This had splendid effect and
spurred the OFFICIALS on--so they made
other improvements"
1.-The city prisoners and hired city
help" continued Badly, were put to
work in the bad Of the stream digging
out the great boulders and actually
leveling off the bed Besides this the
grass and underground along the
banks of the stream were cut, the
banks sodded down in terraces and
the edges of the stream rip-rapped
with stone. The real estate agents
may have thought of such plan, but
they did not put it in execution al
though they reaped harvest from
what the city did upon the initiative
of daily paper"
Looking at the matter in the way
you have put it. Badly" said The Man
From the East, 81 can see where your
plan comes in. You believe that If the
city would adopt like course with
this Gordon's Creek it would not only
beautify the city but increase the real
ity values along it's course and ada
cent to it-that's the idea, isn't it,"
"Yes-exactly the idea," said Badly,
land don't care how many real estate
agents there are here, they have not
worked this scheme to increase the
values of real estate or to beautify
the city. 1t could be done at little cost
to the city by the use of the fire de-
partment and the city employees and
then when those iron bridges span
the stream Gordon's Creek, instead oil
looking like big open sewer, would
add touch of beauty to the CITY,"
"The plan is good one" said
Fatty, the only thing now is to wake
up somebody and get this thing start
ed. With the stagnant ponds al
drained and filled, and Gordon's Creel
put in shape, the town will be diff
ferent one altogether and with the
proper energy exerted by Progress
sive League or Union, Hattiesburt
won't have to wait ten years for fit,

BOLD HIGHWAY ROBBERY
TWO YOUNG MEM Attacked
HERE ON TUESDAY NIGHT
Thomas Shaw and James Husrk HeiS
Up BY Footpads Back Of Bait
more g. Ohio Shops

James Ruark, u young man OF this
city, and Thomas Shaw, whose home
is In New Jersey and who has been vr@~
iting here for some time, were the vic
Tins Of two bold highwaymen while nn
their way home Tuesday evening, and
had an experience that they wonlG'
not care to repeat.
The young men were In the down
town section OF the city until Isx@
hour at night, and started for thair
homes shortly before midnight In
order TO shorten the distance they
took the pathway back Of the BaItf-
more a Ohio shops When they IT,
rived At the foot bridge over The I'uw
carora creek they met two men. VIM
halted them and preemptorily demand
ed their money. One OF the men graAs-
through his pockets. Ruark resisted
the attempt to rob him. and in tho
struggle be was either knocked nr
thrown from the bridge into the water
belowl
In the meantime the second footpada
engaged young Shaw. but before tEfe
robber could secure any booty Rnarx
fell itno the creek. and this evidently
frightened the footpads. who .mmedF--
ately decamped and were Loot in th@
darkness.
The footpads were not recognized.
and the young men were too cxcfted
to give a description of their assaFE-
ants. The officers have been on Efs0
lookout for them. but SO far have no.
clue that would lead TO an arrest
This is the third attempt at alghwzy
robbery In that neighborhood Ira the
past year and 1t would seem tbaKfoos
pads regard this as good place to-,
hold up the unwary.
