Every inhabitant of Huntington and
other cities whose drinking water
is being pumped from the Ohio riv-

taking into their systems daily a
considerable quantity of gold.
Not only is the precious metal be
ing wasted in that manner, but the
streets are being sprinkled with the

This fact was disclosed to-day IN

clares that his analysis shows thai

Mr.. Rhodes was accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff l.. H. Bobbitt, OF

Judge O'Brien refused to take any
action. 1t was the sheriff of the
county who did Mr.. Rhodes the

CONTROL OF GERMAN CITIES
Country, is Elected for a Term
Q of Twelve Years.

German cities are perhaps the best
governed of any in the world. The
German b~Urgomaster, or mayor, is
selected by the council for a term, In
many instances, of twelve years, is
generally reelected to a second term
and is thereafter eligible to a pen
sion.
He is selected because of his Spe-
cial fitness, and training for the work
is as elaborate as training for the
physician or lawyer in this country.
When a German mayoralty is vacant
candidates from other cities present
themselves to the council with their
credentials.
German burgomasters are far better
paid than American mayors. They
have a corps of trained assistants
who aiso are specialists with definite
training for their particular work. The
police department is under the direc-
ton of the central government, NUM-
cipal ownership is both common and
profitable. Street railways and water
works are operated at a profit. Some
cities operate savings banks which
have accumulated vast SURPRISES to
loan to people who buy homes.
This country has much to learn
from Germany In the management OF
it's municipal affairs. Our system is
VIGOROUSLY cumbersome and : ineffl.
cient. We have intrusted our ideals
of the city beautiful too long to
hack politicians and retainers of spe-
cial interests. We cannot have a gov
eminent of the whole people. for the
whole people or by the whole people
as long as we permit the city to be
ruled with a shepherds crook.

Il. C. McGAUGHY.
A Leader in The Dry Ccods
Line.

The achievement Of Turelo in
all branches Of trade during this
decade have been such as to make
it one Of the most progressive
and advanced cities in the coun-
try. There is no line Of COM.
merce that has a better reputa-
ton in tho dry goods business
than McGaughy's. Tupelo can
well be proud OF the showing of
this firm since its organization in
1902. This company is well
known throughout this section,
from which territory it is now
enjoying a lucrative trade. The
business is under the manage
inert and owned by F. C. Nc
Gaughy, who established it years
ago. The company carries a

pelo ard deserves the patronage
of everyone.

COURSE IN GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Ten Commandments, or Words of Ad
vice Which Every Lover of His
Town Should Hear.

1. Don't lie about your town. The
truth is good CROUCH for the booster,
and the knocker is soon found out.
2. Protect the healthfulness of your
town. The fly is the product of filth,
and the mosquito must be Graded IN
stagnant water; still, it is fatally easy
to raise a good crop of either.
3. Increase the beauty of your town.
1t is a great thing to make a Hover
bed where an ash heap grew before.
Beauty is its own eXcus
4. Improve the moral tone of your
town. BY so doing you keep down
the taxes, for a good citizen is cas-
Ter to control than a bad one.
s.. Support the educational institu-
tions and pay the school tax gladly.
Educate your people and attract the
educated. A trained mind is the
worlds most potent force.
g.. Take the newspapers, advertise
in them, and do anything else you can
to help in their support or improve
ment. The press is the mirror of the
town.
T.. Support the churches. They
have faults, like all other organiza-
tions composed of human beings, but
they are the only institutions in the
community that stand primarily for
righteousness and spirituality.
8. Keep up an interest In the po-
litical affairs Of your town. After
your carelessness has allowed the po-
litical power to slip into the hands Of
grafters, only a strenuous battle can
get 1t back.
9. Don't blame the results of your
own shortcomings on the town. The
success Of your neighbor will prove
you a liar.
10. Advertise your town. People,
like moths, fly toward the light.-Lake

Attractive Rural Homes.

Cities have no monopoly in pretty
homes. nor should have, for it is
much easier to garden or embellfsh
successfully in the country. Every
rural home should be attractive. OF
course, paint and neat, classy build
ings and fences have much to do with
it, but without these one may have
much of beauty. Vines work wonders
in hiding ugly structures, h%arshness
of architecture and lack Of paint. The
chief outside attractions of my place
should be trees, shrubs, and Towering
plants, either in city n country. In
rural communities we do not so much
notice the architecture as the sur
roundings. for the latter speak for
the character of the Inmates.

BANK OF TUPELO.
A Fast Growing Institution of
The City.

Tupelo, by reason of its being
a great jobbing and trading cen
ter, is also a great commercial
point and boasts of a large num-
Der of first class banking ins'i-
tutions.. The Bark of Tupelo
was organized in 1876. 1t is one
of the foremost banking institu-
tons of the city. Its business
has steadily increased since its
organization, and its career has
been one of steady growth and
prosperity. A number of its of.
fcials and directors have been
residents of Tupelo for years and
have watched it grow from a viii
lage to a prosperous city of to-
day, with every modern conven-
fence and a hon e of education,
culture and refinement. These
men and the institution have con
tributed fully toward this de-
velopment. The bank has a
capitol stock fully paid in of $500

and undivided profits, makes it

EXZZZzzz

A town is judged by the class
of business houses it supports.
Large stores have a far reaching
influence in the growth and prog
ress of the community in which
they are located. They attract
trade from a territory that wild
en- each year and their name fin
ally becomes literally house

the Ballard Dry Goods Company.

equipped, it's history since its es-
Enlistment in 1888 has been
one of constant expansion, both

ed and in trade in territory COW

nized as the leading wholesale
and retail dry goods store OF
Tupelo.
The stock is selected to meet
the needs of the people who not
only demand the latest merchan-
wise but who keep a watchtul
eye on prices. The main de-
partments are dry goods, MILL
merry, clothing, mems furnish
ings, shoes and hats, carpets,
rugs, etc. The dress goods de-
partment is faultless in qualify
and quantity. and here are
shown all those new fabrics and
shades of colors that are fashion
able for summer and spring
wear. The tailoring depart
ment, is in charge of Mr.. Oscar
Doty, whose years of experience
in this line is at the service OF
their patrons, and the fact that
the entire force is being kept
busy as the proverb;al bee is
proof positive of the apprecla
ton of the men Of this city and
vicinity. The following lines of
tailoring can be obtained no
where else in Tupelo: The Col
umbia Tailoring Company of
Cincinnati, and the belief Of
thousands of wearers, no other
company emhodies so satisfacto-
rily style and APP earan:e with
comfort. Kahn Tailoring Compa-
ny, of Indianapolis, is another
popular line on sale here. A. E.

in the world, is also shown here.
