The correspondent of the Dispatch
out at Rural Hill seems to think that
we should assist him in his newspaper
argument in securing hitch lot for
the out-of- town people who trade in
Columbus. While we are in sympathy
with Brother Franks in his effort to
have the business men of Columbus
make existing conditions more at
tractive to the people who come to
their town for the purpose of spend
ing their money, we have refrained
from joining for the reason we are a
NONRESIDENT and are not supposed to
take issue in the fight. However,
we will state that these same con-
ditions confronted Carrollton more
than year ago and Which, the people
from the surrounding territory be-
gan letting the merchants know that
this trade was going elsewhere if the
situation was not relived, these mer-
chants got busy and made ample ar
for hitching posts to take
care of the trade. The merchants of
Columbus should not sit idly by and
watch the trade seek more pleasant
while they are waiting for
some organization to make the nee
ssary arrangements for caring of the
stock, but should get busy and make
these arrangements ere it has passed |
from them forever.

Iitions Mr.. w. J. Satterwhite, man
