(By Luther Ellison, Secretary Lancaster Chamber of Commerce.) A beautiful city Is a joy forever, is a pleasant place In which to live and do business. Therefore, It possesses in Its beauty an advantage! beyond estimate for attracting new i people and new business Orna- i mentation of a city by Its citizens is; an investment which will yield in-; calculable dividends in contentment ] and where people are contented they are willing to remain. Every town or city may make it-, self beautiful If It desires to develop the natural opportunities of whicn each is possessed. No city should be without its parks, which become: beautiful nature retreats in the > midst of the busy hum of Industry where the business man m^y linger 1 for a few minutes on his way home from a day of toil and^i those few moments go bacl^la0retrospection to the boyhood days when his hours were spent close to nature's heart. Ornamentation of a city, or rather the development of a city's possibilities, has the effect upon that city's people of making them better lit for their duty, of broadening and deepening their character, and of creating a spirit of civic pride out of which comes a determination to overcome all obstacles in the way of civic progress. Street lighting, elminating billboards. providing for the cleanly disposal of all refuse, prohibiting the tacking of signs on fences and poles, doing artistic public improvements and in short taking advantage as far as possible ana practicable of every opportunity of adding to the i ornamental beauty of the city be-1 long to this subject. Of late years the care of shade trees has become such an Important matter that nearly every town or city of average size has its forestry expert paid by the city to carefully guard the life of these invaluable ornaments. Cracks are healed by cement as soon as they appear. New trees are constantly being planted. More attention is being paid to the artistic beauty or public buildings and street improvements, such ! ast bridges, sidewalks, etc., than formerly. Many cities prohibit j fences enclosing the front lawns of residences. They also require lawns I o be planted and properly cared fori together with shade trees planted aftd maintained. The result is block after block and street after street of what are veritable parks in which tho citizens take a vast amount of pride and with which they would not dispense for love nor' money. One thing leads to another and in the?e , iwns and cities one can hardly fl id -> yard but what has its flower beds filled with blooming plants together with clumps of shrubbery arranged in artistic unison with the whole scheme of1 ornamentation. In such a town or city the bill-' board finds small chance for lodg-1 ment. A trip through the alleys will show a tidy condition where closed garbage cans contain the re-1 fuse from the kitchen and back premises. Civic pride and city loy-' alty are such familiar words that their definition should be on the tongue of every school boy and girl in Lancaster. Ornamentation is as Important to renl progress In a city as the addition of new industries. Social News Miss Petty Brown entertained the Debutante Rrldge Club Wednesday \ afternoon.

One of the rases tried in the criminal side of the qfturt this week was that of the state vs. Joe Thompson, alias "Cotton Eye Joe." He was without eounsel. hut nevertheless cross-examined the witnesses with the skill of an experienced attorney. The charge against "Cotton Eye" was stealing from the person and the prosecutor was Mr. R. A. Small from whose person Joe had taking therefrom twelve dollars abstracting therefrom twelve dollars and some cents was In the act of restoring the hook to Mr. Small's pocket, when the owner, became aware of what was going on. Joe claimed that he knew nothing whatever of the matter. He subjected Mr. Small to a rjgld crossexamination, at the conclusion of which he turned the witness over to the solicitor with the remark. "Witness Is with you." Joe, when arraigned In the dock, fn answer to the question by the clerk as to "how will you be tried." replied. "Ry God and my country." but both were evidently against htm. for the Jurv found him guilty In short order and the Judge gave him one year in the penitentiary. BRING REFUGEES OVER.

Oct. 15.?The cross channel steamers which have been busy for days past transporting refugees from Ostend, which port is now closed owing to the approach of the Germans, now are being employed In bringing Belgian refugees from Dunkirk and Calais. Heavy firing could be heard at Dunkirk throughout the day, hut it was said that the German soldiers were a long way from the town. Help Pave the Sidewalks. The city council will commence at once the laying of cement sidewalks in all parts of the town where the owners of the property abutting on any cltv block will sign an agreement in writing to pay one-, half of the estimated cost, whiclr will be 99 cents a lineal yard or cents a lineal foot. We urge upon all of our property owners to unite with the city council in providing the town with good side-walks, which have been one of the town's greatest needs for a long time. The city can get the work done now cheaper than at any time in the future on account of the general depression prevailing. There are something like 24.000 yards of sidewalks in the town and already property owners have signed up for the cementing of something like 10 000 yards. If you have not already arranged for the laying of a cement sidewalk in front of your property, see the council so that the neo asary material may be ordered at once.
