A city like a man, is judged by
it's appearance. When you see a
man whose clothes are dirty and
ragged you make up your mind
inyoluntarily that he is not pros
porous and that he is probably
lazy and shiftless besides. 1t is
the same way with a town. A
stranger arriving in a town looks
about him and if he sees dirty,
implanted buildings, worn out
sidewalks and other such evil
dences of decay he makes up his
mind that the people are not en-
terprising and industrious. PeO-
pie think sometimes that money
spent in paint and repairs on
on their buildings is wasted I'M
less they have put it off until
their building is in the last
stages of decay or they get's no
tise from the city to repair their
sidewalks. This is an erroneous
idea No money ever helped
boost a town or the price of prop
erty so much as moned spent in
paint and fixing up. 1t shows
that you think something of your
property and causes others IL
have a like opinion of it. An
other way OF Judging a town is
by it's newspapers. Take a live.
Industrious town and the news
papers are the battle ground on
which the battle of business sup,
remracy is fought. They show
show that there is competi tioI
which in turn shows that there
is trade to be sought and that
there are good, live, enterprisinP
merchants there after it. Let
US give our town some now cloth
es. Let US be more aggressive
We have the goods, let US show
them.

A Mis- statement.
Them.

Nevada Herald.
Bid Cole, manager of the Elks
ball team, had a game matched
for Sunday afternoon with the
Rich Hill club and ali arrange
ments we've made for the game
but the Rich Hill outfit tailed TO
come. They sent no word that
they were not coming and right
up 10 train time were expected
but when the train arrived there
was no ball team aboard aud as
a result Rich Hills at once became
Poor Hollow with the manager
Of the Nevada Elks. The simple
fact seems TO be that the Rich
Hin outfit did act very shabbily
in the matter, as common decen-
cy should have impelled them TO
notify the Nevada boys that they
were not coming.
The gentleman who wrote the
proceeding article is inclined 10
be a little nasty and evidently
does not understand the facts OF
the case. The Rich Hill team
received a telephone message
suggesting a game 10 which they
replied by letterasking for terms
Their letter was not answered
and they naturally supposed
that the game was OF. The Rich
Hill bunch are not cutters and
have no doubt that they are given
a chance they can beat the Neya-
da team 10 a standstill. The game
last Sunday was called of by Ne
yada on account Of the fact that
Mr.. Bryan spoke that afternoon
and they didn't think they could
get a crowd.
