ings.
The presidents appointed are:
First ward-Mrs. A. NJ. Waldrop.
Second ward-Mrs. r. o. Allen.
Third ward-Mrs. NJ. W. Simms.
Fourth ward-Mrs. Z. j. Fountain.
These presidents will each call a
meeting in their respective wards, Sc
ure a membership, including every
resident of the ward, and organize. 1t
is believed that in this way the work
will be more easily handled and that
the ward league will become a perma-
nent body.
Mesdames Simms, Waldrop and
Bryan were appointed a committee to
visit the merchants and secure their
promise to discontinue the sweeping
of trash into the streets, also to make
a general plea to the public to refrain
from throwing envelopes and circu-
larslars on the streets as they are
leaving the ~postoffice. One lady re-
marked that a large amount of this
class of rubbish landed at her door
and she could always tell who had
been to the p~ostoffice.
There was a sketch of a proposed
fountain shown, which was generally
approved, and the question being
raised as to how to secure funds 10
provide for its construction, the presi'

it is to train local talent and direct

There is no doubt that this entertain

Thus a definite work is begun. 1t:
final consummation will be a beauty
spot in Bryan that will prove a memo
rial to the civic pride and loyalty O
the citizens of one Of the best cities
in all the great Southwest.
Long live the Bryan Civic League

TIME TO STOP
Observation-Disclosures
n. r. Potter.

Until the c. & T. matter is finally
disposed of. the business of passing
the nat for contributions to adver-
tise Cairo should cease. Unless that
is wisely handled and settled there
will be little benefit derived from ad-
yertising the city, In fact, not much
has been realized from advertising in
the past although a very large sum
in the aggregate has been expended
on it in the last thirty years, in part
by the city corporation and partly by
private contributions. All manner of
schemes for advertising the city have
been tried, many of them designed by
the originators for their personal ben
eft chiefly.
Among the advertising expenses
| should be counted the expenses at
tending the entertainment of conven.
tons of all kinds brought here, in

cieties, business and trade associa-
tons, etc. The main plea in behalf
OF these has been, that they would
/ advertise the city. The minor argu-
ment was, that the large attendance
anticipated would warrant the con
clusion that the visitors would ex-
pend much money while here, and
thus supply recompense in large
measure for the cost of entertaining
them. The latter idea has proven
erroneous almost without exception.
When hundreds are expected only doz
ems came, and when thousands were
talked of the attendance dwindled
down to few hundred. The most inn
portant and profitable attendance
usually was tue delegations seeking
the affair for the next year. But the
cities generally have become wise to
the fact that the expense and trouble
Of entertaining association and so
eiety conventions and meetings out,
weighs largely the benefits derived
from them, hence the competitive eff.
forts to secure them have become

advertising benefits, the visitors are
from places that are ambitious to be-
come manufacturing and commercial
towns, are rivals of all other cities,
as every town in the country is Of
this character now. The visitors
carry away with them only points
which they can use by comparison to
the advantage of their own communi-
ties. They do not leave Cairo to
sound praises of it to the world.
AS for the common advertising
schemes, they come thick and fast,
and seine of them are costly; but who
