dollars on a stump, whistle three times,
walk out of sight, and return in a quar
ter of an hour to find a jug of sugar-
loaf taking the place of the two dollars.
The town is well policed, and has a com
petent man at the head of the depart
ment.
There have been laid in Badm up to
the present time two and one-half miles
of concrete sidewalks, and something over
twenty-three hundred square feet of
granite block pavement—thanks to the
construction department. This work is
still progressing during favorable
weather, the discarded materials, wire,
etc., all being collected, properly assort
ed, and stored to the north of the Carbon
Plant. Almost any day you can meet
Coffman with an armful of scrap iron
or junk headed for the storage yard.
The old Postoffice building has been
demolished. Dr. Rainey’s old office in
front of the theater was remodeled and
turned into a well appointed Postoffice.
A competent force distributes and puts
up the mail. The “bunk” houses and
eating shops have been demolished. The
high ground east of Building 3 as
been brought down to grade.
Aside from the above changes, there
has been organized a Landscape Depar -
ment, which looks after the beautifying
of the town. There has been instituted
a Welfare Department, with Mr. F. A.
Cummings at its head. Those who have
been in trouble or need are well ac
quainted with Mr. Cummings. With one
hand on the pulse of the people, and the
other on the pulse of the officials of the
Company, he is able to render an invalu
able service to all concerned.

An Acknowledgment
In view of the fact that many of my
friends in Badin have been so kind as
to circulate a paper pledging me their
support for the position of postmaster,
made vacant by the death of the late
Col. John A. MacRae, I wish to thus
acknowledge my heartfelt appreciation
of such endorsement, and to thank each
and all for their interest and good will.
I also wish to state that, after giving
the matter due consideration, I have
reached the decision that it will not be
proper for me to make any further ef
fort to obtain the appointment.

Chickens
We all like chickens, and only wish
there were more of them, but the time
of year has arrived when it becomes
necessary that all the chickens in Badin
be kept in pens, in order that flowerj
and gardens may not be destroyed. If
you have a pen, use it; if not, please
get one, or got rid of your chickens.
