YOUR HOME TOWN FIRST


Work for your own town.
Beautify it. Improve it. Make it
attractive.
The World War and the Treaty of
Peace and the Protective Tariff and
all such things are important subjects;
but what's the good of cleaning up
the world unless you sweep your own
doorstep
The city whose main street is dir
ty, sordid-looking, cluttered, uninvit-
ing, suffers much. Such city wants
to be cleaned, recreated, made thing
Of beauty, SO that people will come
miles to see it.
The best advertisement of your
business is the town you live in.
Towns get regulations, as well as
men. Make your town talked of all
over the State. 1t will thus draw
people. And where the people come,
there is prosperity.
1t does not take money. 1t takes
something that is scarer. 1t takes
cooperation.
Get together. Organize for civic
Improvement. Develop the civic ner-

Rid your town of one eyesore after
another. Clean up the vacant lots
and plant them in gardens. Make a
cluttered yard a disgrace. Make a

Buy it on the basis Of its earning

It is our aim TO sell full earning

That is why we buy from a firm

why we show you the implement

TOWN TAXES


Probable Taxes for 1920 in Port
Gibson:
state Tax. mills
County Taxes:
General Fund tax (same as last
year, mills
General County sinking fund
(same as last year, ...,........2 mills
General County road fund (same
as last year, ,....-....-.............2 mills
II mills
Road District No. /
Sinking Fund (same as last
year, -....................... mills
Interest on $4,000 bonds. mil
Maintenance of new roads ......3 mills
Total state, county and road dis
trlct .,.....-.........-................ 29.5 mil
The town tax is more problematic-
al: te general town levy last year
was mills, the school levy AS mills,
and the fire fund 8 mills and there is
not likely to be any change. There
are about $100,000.00 in bonds, bear
ing from per cent to 6 per cent,
which must be raised by taxaton; this
will take not less than mills. There
are several serial bonds maturing, and
also an entire issue of $4,000 1t is
to be presumed that an attemp will
be made to refund at least the greater
part of this: the sidewalk assessments
will take care of part Of the side
walk bonds, but not all, as the cross
ings were paid for by the town, and
there are no special assessments, and
$3500 of the last issue was borrow
ed" by the water works A fair guess
will be
General Fund ......-...........6 mills
School Fund ................ AS mil
Fire Fund .. ....-.....+..., IS MI
Bond interest 5 mills
Sinking .... AS mil
Total ............................ so mil
This takes no account Of the pro
posed bond issue for new school.
These, if issued, viii add from 5 to 6
mills more to the above.
II is likely that these figures are
under, rather than over, what The act
ual levy will be. For example, the
general county road fund had tSo
mill levy last year; it has been cnrec;
it is not unlikely that it will be again
raised, as thai funi is running low,
and the contracts expire this iplmer.
The improved highways will take nile
age off of this fund but it will pfoh-
ably be more than offset by .the in
creased cost Of working the remaining
roads. The present contracts are a
round $40 to $50 per mile, and It is
not unlikely that they can be let 50
low again.

SATURDAY SET APART
AS WEED-CUTTING DAY

When the Woman's Club was or
ganized the Civic Committee desig-
mated four days out of the year to be
devoted to the improvement of the
town. May 18th was one of these
days. Suppose we spend it in cutting
down weeds in our yards and on our
banquettes. The town is so beautiful
now let US do away with every un-
slightly thing. We are very nearly
rid Of trash and with the growth cut
away every where we will have made
splendid beginning. By proper CO.
operation we could solve those civic
problems so easily if every one would
keep his own property in order leav-
ing only the streets to me, and if ev-
cry one would refrain from throwing
any unsightly thing on the streets
thereby releasing energy for more
permanent work, we would have even
a lovelier home town than we now
have-and who does not want the
best?

cent magazine and let's get together.

I'VE found a stonelnason who had lived

best way to go to each one. Then we divided
our men into attachments, and each was as

to find out how to go to his post by the
quickest, shortest way, This idea worked
like a charm. We cleaned the Huns out OF
