and a place to congregate, just
before the arrival of all trains.
AS several of our prominent
citizens have said, we think our
Mayor and Town Council should
take steps, appoint a special
marshal to meet all trains and
rid this place of the worthless
class of negroes.
What's the matter with en-
forcing a vagrant law? If there
is none on the statutes we think
one should be placed and enforc-
ed. We are not finding fault with
our office holders but we do
think a law of this kind, forcing
the trashy set to vacate and such
case as above mentioned would
not happen. Get rid of them
and the town will be better Oft.

is hailed as q harbinger of good

It is hardly worth while to en-
unmerate the numerous benefits
to be derived from having good

Of the principal Of which is the
