Jamestown.

1t so happened that the writer
recently spent.a few days in the
capital of Russell, and he observ-
ed many things that ought to be
done in ordersCto create a better
business interest. The town is
one of the oldest in the State,
and judging fromlthe short stay
of your contributor, there are no
better people any where than the
inhabitants of jamestown. The
greatest difficulty l observed was
the lack of enterprise upon the
part of thestown council and the
property owners. There is but
little concrete in the place, and
the city is in darkness at night.
In this day most any body can
put down concrete, and a nice
walk around the square could be
made with comparatively little
cost. Then there is j. H.
Phelps, who already has the
power, and an electric light
plant could be Installed for
about one-half the cost if the
power was not there. Again,
the property owners ought to
concrete in front of their res
licences, and a walk should be
made from the square to the
church.
The new school building which
is to be erected will be an honor
to the town, and the tax payers
ought to be glad that it will be
completed in a few months.
We trust that these suggest
ions will cause the people of
Jamestown to do some thinking,
then act.
Jamestown is the county seat
of Russell and it should be the
center of trade. and would be if
her citizens would bestir them
selves.
