Pubbic Improvements and Public Of

what their predecessor have done are
cot doing their ,J-i
When people u 3ults for money
spent they n; tpprove. The
officials are tfc ;vants of the
' people, but they a e also, or should
be the leaders of the people.
What county would have better
roads, better schools or better any
thing of a public nature if the
officials did not lead out in tlu e
matters?
Better to do something for the
public good and have a short term
of ollice, than to be a mere drawer
of a salary to a public office and
hang onto it for a lifetime and have
it said,"the greatest thing he did
was to draw his salary."
The officials who spend public
money for the improvement of tho
people whom they serve in a wise
progressive manner are doing their
duty and need have little fear m to
the results. Catawba News.
