CATO.

Spring came in with the wild violets and departed with them. We are LOOK ing and hoping daily for her second ad- vent. Winter may be going, but It lsn "pone" and cotton planters are i'm patiently waiting to plant their cotton qround. Those who have planted are nueasv for fear the seed will rot and fail to come up.
 Gardens are suffering and some are almost ruined by the cold wet weather
 Reports have reached us that 1t IS the opiniou of experienced fruit growers that when warm weather does set In, the young peaches, apples and pears Will blight and fall to the ground, little or none reaching the rlpeniI g stage.
 There is talk here that Cato IS to build a fine school house in the Lear future If is to be, so rumor says, two-story structure, the upper story to be nall and used by the people for mass meet. inps and also a Woodmen hall. It Will probably be known as the Woodmen hall. citizens and Woodmen to pay their mart of the cost of the structure. It has been suggested that system of furnace and registers be installed for the pur- pose of heating the building. We be- iieve all this can be done, and surely nothing would so advance Cato's pros perity and reputation as would modern school building with hall on the second floor and the whole heated by modern system of furnace and registers. From a standpoint of dollars and cents, we be- lieye our business men would do great CT business than ever before, and the town and bordering community enjoy greater prosperity, and why? A good school with efficient teachers and good hall for town use would be great mag net, drawing the best grade of people to us also drawing young men and women as boarding pupils of the school and be a general stimulant to all our people, and it spells "money," dividend money, to those who put money in the building. If would mean added wealth to our town, i, our people would be made better, broad CT minded, more active interest m life and the standard of citizenship raised and added dignity of character and rep utation given to the town. MT. Editor, is not this the step to take to build up a place? Hasn't your proud splendid little city of Conway been built up Ill this way? Why, could give thous- and reasons why this plan should be carried out to successful completion, if space admitted it, and we hope no ob- stacle will be so great as toprevent Cato from building the school and hall.
