Are You One of Them? ?

Did you ever think 1t? Suppose
every business man in the city took
as much interest in the upbuilding OF
a city as the newspaper man. He
works for railroads, churches, good
streets, and hundred and one other
things for the general good; he urges,
pleads, seoids, badgers and cayorts
around generally until he gets what
he sets out for. Imagine his feelings,
then. when some lame, ,string-halted
kind of a fellow reproaches him be-
cause he don't boom things enough,
and nine times out of ten that same
fellow has never paid one cent to-
ward supporting the paper, and the
paper he reads with marked regular
ity is either borrowed from his neigh,
Dor or picked up from the counter in
the store at which he trades

Get Into the Harness.

Every town has its advantages and
should make the most of them. Every
town is fitted for some one enter
prise more than another, and as soon
as it is ascertained what would be
most conducive to the growth and
prosperity of the place the citizens
should take hold of the matter and
push it for all it's worth The news
paper with the help of the wide
awake men make a wide difference
in town Every man who succeeds
in a town is a help to it, The more
money he makes if he spends it, the
better for the community. The larger
business he builds up, the more
attention is called to the town. A
man cannot build up an honorable
business IN town without helping
it. A town can't build up without help
ing the country. The interest of one
is the interest of all.

KEEP YOUR TOWN ALIVE.
Every individual Has His or Her Du-
ty to Perform.


A town is very much like an indiV-
idual. To be flourishing, it must have
energy and enterprise. The people in
a town should remember that the in
dividual prosperity depends to large
extent upon the character of the place
in which their business is located.
Every pubic measure should be lib
orally supported by all, especially the
business men At the present day
there is as much competition between
towns as there is among persons and
business enterprises. A man seeking
location will invariably select a
town that is up to the times, and is
eagerly in favor of every modern
improvement. A town in these mod
ern times cant afford TO be peopled
with old fogies or antediluvian fos-
sils who are continually kicking at
every enterprise. To make a flour
ishing town you must believe in its
future and work for it, encouraging
every improvement. Make a special
effort to exhibit some evidence of
Improvement in your own work and
character. Help every worthy man.

club The hits Of both these men
against New York helped Chicago
greatly in winning the championship
last season, and most of these hits
were made off balls pitched to their
supposed weaknesses. Both are diff
cult men to fool. and Chance is prob
ably the more scientific hitter
Mage and Bransfeld of the Phil
lies are valuable men with the willow.
"Lobert Of Cincinnati is dangerous
long hitter.
Tim Jordan Of Brooklyn takes a
very vicious swing at every ball he
hits at, and his propensity for making
home runs causes the pitchers to be
extremely careful not to put the ball
over when a long hit means a lost
game.
'iNo discussion of our great batters
would be complete without reference
to Willie Keeler. formerly of the Bal
timore and Brooklyn championship
teams. He was one of the first men
to adopt the short-hold method of
grasping the bat In this way he was
always prepared to bunt or to slap the
ball past third base, and was equally
successful In putting the ball past
first base. He has not made many
opposing pitcher guessing as to what
kind of a ball could possibly fool him
He is the best type Of scientific hitter
