A. ii ...-
Every Citizen OF Our Village

1t is eumored that a move will be launch~
ed shortly for the incorporation Of our town
into a village and a meeting Will be called
Tor the purpose of appointing. a committee
of citizens and business meh to go ahead
with the business. OF course we are aware
that 1t will be stiff Job, bit will be over
corne, and our town will be incorporated
and ~ill be well received by our citizens.
Our town is pFospsrosls one in every
respect and should be giyen every opportun-
ity for adsa6celhcnt and the incorporating
into village saill>be a big stride toward
that goal. Some ,snay immediately contend
it cannot be done far the fact that it is part
of reservation. @st SO, but, if the Indian
wishes to have his town incorporated he
Can, by giving his consent to so doing,
which we are positive he will do as it means
muCn 10 the IutuIe Oh HIS ao"Ai, s'n" az
yancement is what is wanted. It not only
means advancement but it means an -up,to-
date town in every respect something that
we all want to see. We can then have
many advantages that at present we are lack
ing. Don't you think itsabout time to be
>gin looking 30 the future of our town before
it is too late.
