Marianna is the worst cursed city in Arkansas in the matter of public utilities. For months the telephone service has been shot to pieces. The water supply is uncertain and the quality of the water offensive. The light and power service is so habitu- ally and damnably bad that even the most pious folks are learning to swear. The public officials. backed by the representative citizens of Ma rianna, ought to take hold of these problems in a business-like and viz orous manner and see that the kinks are jerked out and the boot applied to the miseable misfits who are more interested in blood-sucking than in service-giving. A house cleaning is needed very badly here. There is no earthly reason why the best town in Arkansas should be made victim of corporation greed. e*

She Will Think of You

Yes. my dear MT. Nit, you are right. Do not protect your home and family in some good life insurance company. You are too smart to have q set of officers graft you out of a few dollars a month, of course. Be wise and generous and good to the mother of your little ones. Get her a nice embossed three. foot wash tub and a cary ed springless-back wash board. Put them in the attic until the glad day when you hit the pike at the head of a procession to the little white and still city wonder. Then she can take down the gifts you have so gener- ously left for her, and proceel to pay the doctor, nurse, undertaken, mort gage, butcher, grocer and shoemaker. Every time she rubs this magic lamp of plenty which your wis dom and forethought pro- vided, she will think of you-you bet she will.
 Keep up plenty of life in-
 surance. Let me show
 you the up-to-date

EXCUSE Us-wE CAN'T HELP IT

Tb;s ;ssue of the Courier-lndex IS reaching it's readers one day late be- cause of the miserable service fur nished by the Arkansas Light and Power Company. Every piece of machinery in the Courier-lnde or flee is run by motors and the melt ing pot on the typesetting machine ;e heated by electricity. There has been only dne day this week when the office force could work as long as eight hours. The light and power plant has been shut down the major portion of the time, due to antlquat- ed equipment and poor management npon the part of those in charge. The Courier-Index force has put in many weary hours night and day during this week meditating (most pleasant ly, of course) on what we would do with the light plant if it were not for certain laws imposing heavy pen alties on those who destroy property without due process of law. The kal- ser in the international court Tn Bel gium would be in the hands of low ing friends compared to the court martial proceedings we would deal out to the light and power corpora tion that has Marianna by the throat The most cheerful and benevolent wish we can have for it is that an act of providence will send it to nell where it belongs, and God forbid that any of it's promoters should ever again indulge in the violent as- sumption that Marianna would wei come an investment by them in any public enterprise here.
