THERE is to day a better, broader, and kinder spirit among the people of Brinkley than ever before in its entire history. Even in the present fight against the licensed saloon, there has been an absence of the bitter personal feeling that so often marks such contests. It looks just like Brinkley citizens were about to ''get together" and start in on a long strong pull at city building. Surely the For tune City, has much to be thank ful for this 1912 Christmas.

clares a building a nuisance and the
