DID FAIRLY WELL

with our education edition. That Is
to say, the ladies did their part ad-
mirably, and we did the best we could
under the circumstances, though our
part is not up to what it should have
been, but with new help and not
enough force we think it was doing
GOOD work to get out as we'll as we
did and mail Friday morning. We
had hoped to mail Wednesday night,
but that was impossible and get up
the ads. The paper carried 16S col
unns, and $500 inches of space and
the ads ran about half and half or
about 100 inches of ads. That was
very good. We should have had
mSrc cuts of school houses and Of
matters and things and persons per-
tair;ng to schools, but there is
whole lot of real wholesome and help
full reading matter, and lot of in
formation that is valuable, in that
paper and it would be a good eet
for you to lay aside for future refer
cnce. One gentleman told US he had
cone that very thing for he had found
a good lit of valuable material upon
which 70 build some fine speeches,
and he is right, it is there.
What the ladies made is theirs with
no strings tied to it, md they are at
liberty to do with it to them may
seem best. We would like to make
a suggestion, and in no sense a die
tation, and that is that the best eX-
preston of the civic pride of COM
munity to US, is the condition in
which the silent city Of the dead is
i,ept, and how the school grounds are
laid out and beautifed, and judged
by the grounds at our city schools and
he condition of our Rosemont one
would rot see very much manifesto
Ion of civic pride in this community.
.fnd it seems to is that the civic as.
sociation could express its energies to
10 better purpose than the improve
nent of the cemetery and the beauti-
wing our school grounds. We would
ike to see some beautiful school,
grounds at our three schools, and es-
1ecially should that be done now
since we have so many needed i'm
o;ovements in the equipment Of the
build ;ngs, and at Rosemont we would
ike to see large granite pavilion
20 take the place of TIE WOODEN shed
mat is there now, and let it be the
monument TO soldiers of the several
vars who have given up their lives
hat liberty and happiness and free
lom might be the part of those who
come after. And then Rosemont
reeds to be kept in better condition
han it is, and we had hoped to see
Mr.. Leavell call a meeting of all lot
owners and let US see if we could not
agree upon some sort of organization
hat would work and improve the
grounds and provide for their up
,.eep. We will help the ladies do
whatever they undertake because we
now they are always doing the
hings that are good.
We can not see much good and no
! eneft il making park out of the
lower public square, and it would be
',etter for the town to let it remain as
+ is and be used for wagons and a
parking place rather than to try to
make park there, and certainly we
;hould not build any monument there.
Then there IS considerable opposition
TO the making of park out of this
lower public square on the part of
ONE of the business men, and we had
)etter do that which will meet the ap-
oroval Of all the people as far as pos
,i5le, and j.. -; Wy have their CO.
operation in what we do for the gen.
vral we4-,l -: the way it ap-
pears to Us. We need to have as far
as possible all the people working to-
>sether for the good of the communi-
y. That has been our slogan for ma
ny years, no one man or woman can
o great deal by himself, but each
Icing his part will work wonders and
ccomplish things beyond the most
anguine expectations. Neither can
ye get very far ''cussing' and abus-
.ng thoSse who may not agree with
IS, and who may be sold enough to
ay what they think. All together for
hat steady and sure and substantial
--owth that has characterized the
growth of this town and community
Tor many and mary more years. and
t may be slow, but what we build is
built substantially and it has none of
the mush room smell about it, and
..hat is the way we should continue to
crow. We do not want ally Jonah's
