What Are You Going to do About 1t?

We are without any protection

are very high and in some parts OF
the business section absolutely
prohibitive. If this state of affairs
continues the insurance companies
may Withdraw from the town and
then we will be without any pro-
lection from loss when we have a
fire.
TO have an artesian we'll will
cost money, but so do food and
clothes, but you do not go hungry
or unapparelled, and an artesian
well is almost as much of a neces-
sity to this town now as food and
clothing are to the individual and
will not cost near so much as the
loss by fire in the last three weeks
to say nothing of the last twelve
months and the future. 1t is true
taxes. are high enough at present
but is it not better to take the lesser
Of two evils? If a bond issue is
not acceptable to the people, what
about stock company! There
are men in Iuka who could put IN
an artesian well without any in
convenience and surely several OF
them together could do it. AT any
rate we should have fire protection
and we believe the decrease in the
insurance rate would cover the ex-
pense in a short while. Enough
money has gone up in smoke here
recently. You moneyed men get
busy. Sometimes it is economy
to spend money and this is one of
the times.
