The recent strong improvement in
the market for municipal securities
should be taken advantage of promptly
by Southern communities which are
contemplating the issuing of bonds for
public work A vast amount of county
city and municipal improvements of
every kind is needed in the South, for
which bonds must be issued At the
pr sent time there is a better market
for such securities, and coincident
with this ability to get money there is
a surplus of labor available. and man
ufacturers of machinery and equip
ment are in a position to fill orders to
better advantages than would be pos
sible if all business interests were
active. The condition, therefore, is
exceptionally favorable for the prose
cution of public work.
Throughout all parts of the South
and Southwest roads are to be built,
new streets made and old streets i'm.
proved, sewerage systems and water
works are to be constructed or en-
larged, and public buildings erected.
While it is desirable, and often impor
tant, that public buildings should he
ornate and in keeping with the life of
the community, it is especially i'm
portant that they should be absolutely
freproof Every courthouse and every
city hall ought to be so well construct
ed as to make thoroughly safe publie
records of all kinds. These things are
important But the construction of
the most modern sewerage systems,
and Of water-works to guarantee an
ample supply Of pure water, and the
building of good roads and the paving
Of streets and alleys are even more
important These all take hold of the
essential things-the health of the
community. There is no greater econ
omic wastefulness than that which By
reason of false economy prevents mum
icipalities from providing pure water,
the most sanitary sewerage system
and well-paved streets and alleys,
which make possible city cleanliness
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-02-26

I Every illness and every death brought
about by failure to do these things in
an economic loss due to the blundar-
ling Of Incompetent officials, and this
without considering the sorrow and
suffering brought by the illness and
the death which better sanitary con-
dltions would have prevented. Tn
men in anv community who, from
narrow and miserly point of view, de-
lay the Improvements of this kind,
which are essential to the health CT
community as well as to its progress,
are responsible for sickness which
other action on their part might have
prevented.
Every growing city and town in the
South needs to improve and keep on
improving every day and every year
its provisions for sanitation and
health. These include all such things
as water-works, sewerage systems and
well-paved streets. The field is almost
limitless. No wiser investment can be
made by people than the money spent
when it is honestly expended, for pub
lie works of this kind These i'm
proyements mean material progress,
they mean better conditions of living,
better environment for young and
old, and better health and longer lives
for the people. 1t is especially i'm
portant, therefore, that the authorities
of every community in the South
should study the situation in the light
of present conditions when money for
such work is becoming more abund-
ant and when the labor available for
it is in great supply. Moreover, the
very doing of these things and the en-
ployment of labor in works of this
kind would stimulate all business in
terests and largely help in bringing
about that general prosperity for
which all are looking and hoping. This
is the South's day of opportunity for
work of this kind. If the authorities
of Southern communities are not alive
to the situation, the people whose in
terest are at stake ought to see that
they are awakened promptly.

When up to the top of the golden
stair
A man and a woman assembled thee.
Applied Tor admission. They came
and stood
Before St Peter, so great and good
In hopes the City of Peace to win
And asked St Peter to let them in.
The woman was tall. and lank, and
thin,
With scraggy bsa7dlet upon her
chin
The man was short, and thick AMI
stout,
His stomach was built so it rounded
out
His face was pleasant, and all the

He wore kindly and genial smile.

woke,
And the man kept still, while the
woman spoke.

But, oh, st. Peter, love him SO!
To the pleasure Of heaven please let
him go,
I've done enough-a saint I've been,
Won't that atone, can't you let him
in?
By my grim gospel know It's so,
That the unrepentant must fry below,
But isn't there some way you can see
That he may enter who's dear to me?
It's narrow gospel by which l
pray,
But the chosen expect to find some way
Of coaxing, or fooling, or bribing you
So that their relations can amble
through;
And say, st. Peter, it seems to me,
You ought to stand by that opening
there
And never sit down in the easy chair.
And say St. Peter, my sight is
dimmed,
But l don't like the way your whiskers
are trimmed;
They're cut too wide and outward

They'd look better narrow, cut straight
across.
Well, we must be going our crowns to

And pressed a button upon the wall,
And said to the imp who answered
the bell,
Escort this lady around to hell"

Stood sadly, gloomily there alone

That his wife was good and he was bad,

That he would certainly have to go
That if she went tot he regions dim
There wasn't ghost Of a chance for

He smoked and swore-T should thinl
