ANOTHER WARD TWO MAN KICKS. Ho Urges the Claims of that *<Llltlt> Side Street" for Improvements? Ills Argument. Editor, Advertiser: Kindly allow mo space In your valuab'e columns, to enlor kick No. 2, from Ward 2. The article in jour last week's Issue con tained more truth than poetry, wherein it referred to discrimination by Coun cil In its appropriations for road work. Why in tho natr.o of common sonse and common justice should $12,000 or $11,000 be appropriated for the benefit of t wo f-treets and nothing allowed for a numbor of others, much moro needing improvements? Is Main Street the only street ontitlcd to the morey paid by the property ownors in tho Incor pora'e limits? Has not more money already been expended on Ma'n and Souih Harpar Streets than on any four other streets combined? Are the peo ple In Ward 2 expected to pay taxes solely for tho boneflt of Main, or any other single street? We are pleased to know that Major Watts and Billy Washington wero against thi? move, but they were up against a hard pro posit'on when we remember that three Aldermen livo on Main Street and the Mayor not far from said streot. Now, what Ward 2 asks for Is sim ply justice. Wo pay taxes and want some of tho boueflts to be derived from same, It may bo that Major Watts now finds it necessary to u-o two horses in stead of ono to bring him to town, but then (he Major has a nice bridge to cross, and doesn't have to swim homo, as Billy Washington will havo to do shortly unless some work is done on that "little sldo street way off In Ward 2." A few wr vds now about that "little side street way off in Ward 2," on which friend Washington lives: This street needs work, It has been worked once or twice In the past :t? years, when the hands dug up a little grass; but gra?s won't grow there uow, as there Is no soil there, through water oaks might thrive, or oven cat-tails, as after every rain the water remains Indefinitely. The street.is"us dark as Kgypt, ("dark ost Africa farther back,") and walking is;dangerous on tho narrow sidewalks, Why are we entitled to improve ments? Woll, one of our Wardens, one policotuan and threo graded ?ohool teachers live on this stroet, and la9t, but not least, Corporation Coun sel travels this street "occasion ally" but not quite as much as he does Main Street, on which ho llvos, and tho least Council oan do is to look afior their members and employees. We claim to be in the incorporate limits, so glvo us light so wo can tell "whore we aro at," and can dodge the mud holes and keep from failing into holes in tho side walk. Homo day or night some pedestrian may fall through one of the cracks In tho side-walk, break three or f^ur legs or arme, suo Counc'l for E Pluribus Unuui or something ?lfe, recover damages for 850,000 or less, and lo! what becomes of the money intended to improvo Main Street and build the steel bridgo on South Har per? Kicker Ward 2 No. 2. A THOUGHTFUL MAN. M. M. Austin, of Winchester, Ind., know what to do In the hour of need. Wa wife had suoh an unusual caso of stomach and liver trouble, physicians could not help hor. He thought of and tried Dr. King's Now Life Pills and she got relief at once and was finally cured.
