GOOD CITIZENS and i hi-: mrwK]
TOWN.
The following article is clipped
from a Western paper. It contains
Euch timely suggestions, and _?o much
of wisdom, pertain lug to the duty of
a citizen toward his community, we
gladly give it editorial space. It can
be read and considered to advantage
by all of us.
"Good citizens always have a good
word to say for their home town.
Th^v know Its good points, and if
there are other peculiarities they do
not present them.
*^The grumbler who knows all the
bad features of a town aud mentions
them at every opportunity is not only
a poor citizen, but one who does
nothing to Improve the town he lives
In. It is good enough to provide -a
home for him and perhaps a place of
business, or an occupation, but that
is forgotten in the g-'ueral flow of
complaint.
"Every resilient cau ao something
for the betterment of his town. If he
cannot improve property for lack uf
means or ownership, he can at least
keep his own home neat and dean.
He can have a clean yard, -a- grass
plot or something to add to the ap
pearand or tflo p'nrn. ami .iboye aih
he can JlTV a good word for the place
?ar every opportunity.
"The grumbler should take a trip
out. west and hear th? boomers there
talU about their towns. It may be
orly a string of shacks. and shanties,
the most pn*tent iousJ?Wg one, story
high with a dasjlxlrfard front, but the
enthusiastic citizen will -tell you how
long It is since the first settler locat
ed. and how the ply-e Is growing. He
d} ha\H

tell of the prospects, of the things
they "a:e gni?g-fo j.aw ar >1 the roofti

the iioriaon. ?
"The vislir.r can't h- !.- smiling, but
he f?iir tln.i ?' ' ? im ? rf
right nidiit ? Ua iw d%*it.g the things
which will makf good in time And
even in a small community, where all
are imbued with th? fame spirit,
wonders urn accomplish*^.
"H'<w nn;< U hotter tLis. so'rit i-i
than that of ihe grumbler, who is
sure that hii town was the last place
mad'.-, and.wa.t made of the leavings.
How ra-.u h beit??* it wi?.?ld be for the
gritfnbler to examine his home and
his place of business to see If he is
not contributing his bit to make hi#
home town look cheap and untidy. If
every ftrumMer should take time to
clean up his own surrounding'*, the
town would look belter at once, and
the new interest Jn it that would
be bred of a conscious effort to im
prove it, even In a small way. would

was, therefore, up to the people la

passible would ensile^ before service

smoothly
Word was at once wired to the
hoyte of the Western Electric Com-'
pany, at Atlanta, Georgia. Tbe Nor

Atlanta was able to furnish at .

I Elisabeth City office. At the same J
time a "rush order" was entered for
I a dupl'rate of the original lm?t?lla
tlon, which was a common battery. |
I lamp-signal switchboard, completely
modernized.
So it was. that at Hawthorne, lust
outside of Chicago, whore the prin
cipal factory of the electric company
1b situated, a telegram was received
early on thai Saturday morning,
stating that a'lluplirat* of the orig
inal board was wanted in a great
hurry. The details were given brief
ly. with orders ior haste, to relieve
Elisabeth City frum its plight. The
I Hawthorne people wired to Atlauta
on Sunday nlghx in reply, stating that
the replacing equipment would go
forward on 'Wednesday. November
10th.
All possible speed was made at
Hawthorne. The factory was able to
make good on the Job, and Wednes
day saw the new board on Its way.
Replacing switchboards under
time pressure is out of the situatious
which It Is very often necessary to
-face. ~U will not do for any city or
I town to be long without telephone
service. The superiority of ,\ntertean
methods In this respect wafc demon

destroyed the Gutenberg exchange at
; Paris, France. All of the telephone
traffic of the business center of the
French capital was. handled through
this switchboard, which was really a
very extenslve piece of apparatus.
The French Government, which
has telephone matters In charge, no
tified a number of" European con
cerns. Trhtcb were trrrifed to bid. In- 1
forming them that a time limit of
sixty days, with a penalty for each
day over the sixty, would be im
posed.
All the European makers balked
at these terms. Paris was crippled
fitbout her telephone service, and
turned to this"country Tor aid. The
Western Electric Company at Haw
thorne, Illinois, was able to make the
board, send it to Paris, have It in
without her telephone service, and
ment. nil within* the time limit. In
Icidently affording foreign companies
a demonstration of up-to-date Amer
