Rural Carirers Contest Gosed The rural carriers contest conduct ed by the Dispatch closed last week and the matter is settled satisfactori ly to all concerned, except the award ing of the prizes; that .duty faUs up on us. and we have decided to award the prizes Easter, as that time is considered the opening of the spring and summer season. The first prize, a $2.50 lap robe goes to Mr. Lowe, carries on No. 1, and second prize, a $1.00 whip goes , to Mrs" Alice Fowler, carrier on No. 6, the only lady carrier in the county. We wish to again thank the carriers for the interest manifested in the contest, and we trust you will continue to contribute to the Dispatch and help qs to keep it up to its present stand ard of usefulness. Our columns are always open for your '' items and we assure you that they are appre ciated. So let them come along ev ery week, and tiy to get them to us' not later tdan Tuesday morning of each week. Congress convened last Monday in extra-ordinary session for the pur pose of revising the tariff. An un successful attempt was made bv a few insurgent members to defeat ''Uncle Joe" Cannon for Speaker. The rules governing that body were also attacked, but the same rules that have heretofore characterized ''Uncle Joe".as the master of ceremonies in the House, will be in force during the preseut session of congress. Our Washington. correspondent will keep our readers as well posted as possi ble on the doings around the Na tional capital. His weekly ieltens are good reading and should riot be overlooked by the reading'. public. VTL UV II I I AHhlV III v a U 1 LI U 1 U ULi inilL.il IU BEAUTIFY T110M AS VILH Thomasville. March 15. The superintendent of the Southern Railway has consented to co-oper ate with the town authorities and the civic league in helping to beau tify the commons along the railroad . . ... 1 ! throughout the town, and worK wu begin in a short time and when comnleted will be an ornament as well as a ereat advertisment tovthe town. The Southern Rail way officials are always ready to help Thomasville when they see the town ready to co-operate with them This act on the part of the railroad will be greatly appreciated. We copy the above in order to show our people what is being done all around us and to try to impress upon the public the necessity of do ing something. It is worthy o thought and serious consideration by the public spirited business men and the patriotic ladies of the city. What can be accomplished in Thomasville could be done in Burlington with iust a little effort. Let an effort be made to orgauize a civic league and survey made ot what should be done. There is much to be gained and nothing to be lost by making an effort to clean up and beautify the unsightly places, not only along the line of the railway, but all over the city Tbelu'publieaus of Asheville will make a strong fight in the approach ing: municipal election, for control of the affairs of that Oakdale Dots.
