A ITEALTH MEASURE. v In line with other towns in the state, city council has just passed an ordinance announcing that all hogs in the city must go. March list is the time limit for their ex- odus, after which it shall be unlaw ful for any person^to keep live hogs or pigs within the city limits. This step is taken following ■ .a reecnt recommendation- of the hoard of health looking to better health and sanitary conditions. This action is well taken. With the coming of warm weather, hog pens in congested residential sec tions become a. nuisance and a re, detrimental to the health of —Uhm- . Such an ordinance, looking to better health conditions in the} community, shotfld meet with the I .unanimous approval of our people. It has on in. Cardui, the woman’s tonic, helped Mrs. Wil liam Evefsole, of Hazel Patch, Ky. Read what she writes: "I had a general breaking-down of my health. I was in bed for week<i, unable to get up. 1 had such a weakness and dizziness, and the pains were, very severe. 'A friend to i me 1 had tried every th ig else, why not Cardui ? .. . 1 did, and saw It was helping' me .,. After 12 bottles, 1 am strong and well.'* TAKE The average fellow who s&ys he favors good roads will go and vote against the proposition. No won- we are with mud, wavs. living out our existence gullies and poor high- There’s only, one Way to build up a town—everybody pulL together. We are all here for the same pur pose. so let’s live peaceably and to need something in yoijr line, get RECIPROCITY. Trade at home with the home man. the man that resides at home, spends his money at home, arid see how much better you and he feel about about it. Your money will stay at home then—ten to one he comes in ,n few days later and spends your money in your house that you did in his. Don’t let a man trade, either, with you a hun dred years, and not buy anything of him*. If you don’t commence sometime to reciprocate he is liable work in ha.nnony with one another. The happiest man ii> the world is the ntniipen. »vi ry-day chap, who mad and send to Columbia York, or Baltimore after it. Reciprocity is a good thing. New makes his own living, pays.his own bills, ami has the respect of his I neighbors. Frills are alright, but I they won’t carry a fellow• far'in the world. The man who does not advertise because somebody said it didn’t pay. ought not to believe the world ' is round, bmiuse the ancients said it was Hat. Clinton's growth is being ham- perod by ^.iack of houses. We know of two gory! families that have re cently tried to locate here and found it impossible since tlpey eoiildn '! gel hollies. Every vaeam lot in tov n should he ppt to use by erecting new homes. Not long now until our big An niversary Day. Our business men should be planning for it right now, and yet they haven’t given it a thought. There should be a wide awake Chamber of Commerce at the head of the proposition. Leader ship is needed. What good, public- spirited citizen will volunteer to take the leadership in planning the big celebration? HOUSES WANTED—How can Clinton grow when new people mov ing in can 't find living accommoda tions? A number of neat, comfort able cottages can be profitably rented as fast as they can be erect ed. Some of riur citizens who have the “raw dough,” as MicLendon would say. can help themselves as well as the town by supplying this ’ pj e-sing need. . Be a ehautauqua booster. Other towns, not half as large or good as Clinton, are annually enjoying well established chautauquas. * We need to wake up, stretch out and show some interest in other things be sides making money for ourselves. What arc you doing to help Clin ton grow- ? Ask yourself seriously and then give an honest answer. N, • Have you ever stopped to think that the only way your- business can grow is for the town to grow-. Don’t he stupid to your own prosperity. New people are^cotistantly mov- / ing to Clinton.
