Are OR Streets
Dump Heaps7
Civic League Needed

The other day there was a regular
Overhauling Of the streets and alleys
uf Marietta, andas u result what was
before a spcndidly pretty town has
passed into what its citizens are
pleased to term a spotless town
designation. What was the cause
of it? LII accordance with modern
ideas Of sanitation and beauty the
women of the town got tired OF watt
ing ON the slow movements Of the
mayor and council and the other Of
ficials and formed themselves into a
civic league. They took charge Of
the town for a day Or two and IN
taking charge gained the help OF the
mayor and council, also the assis-
lance Of solicited teams and subscrip-
tions Tor work and went ut the work
of making the town look like civiliza-
ton reigned instead Of middle age
IDEAS. The result the town is said
to look like All entirely new town.
Would it not be a good idea If this
town could have something like a
civic league? Would it not be good
idea If instead Of whenever we get a
cart load Of old bottles and tin cans
we would not dump them in pile
often ON the main streets of town to
breed disease and mosquitoes aside
from the looks Of the thing? To
keep the town in little better shape
for appearances would be no loss in
a financial way. We'll kept streets
add to the desirablcness us a resi-
dence and makes values go up.
Trees ON the sidewalks don't cost
near as much as they pay for they
keep down the weeds and more than
pay for themselves this way aside
from Jocks. II we could emulate
the example1d Marietta and go to
work say a day to make aclcan town
if might be Of lasting benefit to ull.
The first essential is for the officials
to enforce the laws and stop the GUS
tom OF making dump piles Of the
main streets. G.. III. B.

Large Crowd Greeted
Agricultural Train

The Educational Special of the
State College of Agriculture was
greeted by large crowd Of interested
spectators last Saturday. As had
been expected, the day Of the week
on which the train arrived here
brought out IN unusually large,
crowd.
The interest manifested was also
most gratifying. OF the large num-
Der Of those present, practically all
availed themselves Of the privilege
'of viewing the numerous and varied
exhibits in the cars devoted to that
end, while the number Of those pres
ent to hear the various addresses on
dairying, live stock and'othcr kim
dred subjects was indicative OF the
supreme interest manifested in this
practical work.
When the train first arrived, a
hearty welcome was +.extendcd to
DR.. A. NJ. Soulc, Commissioners Of
agriculture Hudson and to the other
officials Of the State College of Agri-
culture who were Oh board. DIR.
Soule's speech was as pointed and
helpful as it was necessarily brief,
while every accorded a hearty well
come and good attention.
The only regret heard was that
tile train could not have stayed
longer, re;ret which has been
voiced everywhere in tile state. All
the farmers Of the county who en-
joyed tho recent trip will hope for a.
longer stay when the train makes its
next tour.

RURAL YULETIDE SPIRIT.
The Mail Carrier Finds a Present at
Almost Every Door.

The rural pOStmen are not less gen
erously remembered at Christmas time
than are their city brethren. There
is scarcely n farmhouse on his route
where the mail carrier does not re-
ceive token. Most of the presents
are practical.
Knitted scarfs or mufflers. mittens
and slippers are favorites with fem
mime donors. whereas the gifts of the
farmers usually take the form Of
pumpkins, bushel baskets Of potatoes,
barrels Of apples and turkeys. Many
a rural mail carrier receives on Christ
mas morning enough eatables to stock
his larder for weeks to come.

The Spirit of

Long years ago Shakespeare put

Of Hamlet, words full OF old legend
aud tradition, as when he refers to the
'cUck growing for Christmas" as IT
used TO lie called The prince OF Den,
ozark says:
Some seq that ever 'galnst that season
comes
Wherein our saviour's birth is celebrated
Tue bird # dawUing singeth all night

Ana then. they say, no spirit can walk
abry.a
Che nights are wholesome, then no plan

Every one feels in that subconscious
1egioD Of himself commonly known as
the heart that the time is really hal.
lowed aud u gracious one, but bis mind
may tell him that to many the time IS
lot so gracious as 1t might be. Only
to the few perhaps has Christmas ever
been gracious, but there are WY
arisen classes who have not even at
tanned unto the merriment which was
a conspicuous feature Of past Christ
masses. These have never had it, and
even those born in more ample crcum'
stances who would be expected to un'
derstand these things appear to have
lost somewhat of the art OF Christ

Good will toward men" is even now
not of universal application, so that
there Is still ample room for the exer'

day in the year when the whole world
seems to feel a simultaneous longing
for what might be. One who under
stands the meaning Of modern thought
has written. "All this world is heavy

Farmer Hurt in Runaway.

Of an accident yesterday morning
that necrssitated a visit TO DR.
Knots flee. Ed was driving Ia
town with load of hogs, and had
- pped on top of the big hill at
the old coal bank near the Arner
farm, when his team became
frightened at something and bolted
down the steep hill at top speed.
Ed jumped up on the break beam
and grabbed the side board to
swing himself up on the seat, but
the side board gave way, and he
got a bad fall, breaking his left
arm just above the wrist joint and
dislocating that joint itself. The
team stopped at Farley Cline's
place, half mile this side of the
hill The load was driven to town
by a neighbor Of Cline's, and G. C.
Gleason brought Mr., Jennings in
in his buggy to see the doctor
The latter informs us that Eds
injuries will lay him off for two

than that.

Bert Had to Use His Gun.

Messrs. and Mines. J. Z. Steiner
and Bert Crandall were here from
Carthage Monday visiting with
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. W. CrandalI and
other relatives. Mr., Steiner LETT
Tuesday for Little Rock Ark,
where he has accepted position
with a plumbing firm. His wife
will not join him there until later
in the summer.
Bert, who is on the police fore,
was the central figure in rather
exciting episode a few days ago.
Sent to Webb City to arrest a
negro, he located his man and was
reading the warrant to him when
the gentleman of color suddenly
took to their heels. Bert and
several others gave chase, but as
the fleet-footed African was max
ing his getaway Bert was COM
PEELED to put a bullet into his leg,
which effectually ended his flight,
without doing him serious damage
Bert performed his unpleasant
duty without hesitation, but says
it gave him that shaky feeling to
have to pull down on a man, ani
hopes he won't have to do it again
