It is essential that our women inter est themselves in our town officers, investigate their policies and study the past results of the administration. Can we improve on it? Learn the sanitary conditions of thetown," re member the stray stick that tflsturb ed our slumbers and destroyed our gardens last summer. Ascertain the financial standing of the town.

There are a great many things in this town re 'quiring the direct attention of the taxpayers, the people. It will behoojre, us to observe the present executives and give them personal and enthusi astic support. Lei the Indies of the, town in'their Mother's Club and also the social clubs study the question us a whole, appoint committees, make out n pjatform and if the present at fleers are satisfactory and agreeable ;vote for them. Aquestion of benefit to the community is the public ceme tery. Present conditions are seriou and steps should be taken to remedy this state. Several graves on the rirht side have caved-Hi" are iPWPrcattleand pigs grace there. The town i4»oult own thin property and we are sufficiently able to keep it up. If our women organize them selves into a really worth while body they could cope with the servant pro blem, they could master the growing child's problems and muke our town a better place to live in. We hear housewives say that groceries are higher in Williamston than elsewhere, if that is so, organize and reduce thes prices, lloweyer the question before us is the election in May. Are we go ing to bring in new strength, fresh force and power, institute a progres sive and economic administration sid ed by the women or are we going to let things go on in the same old slip shad way? Wo aren't arraigning the present executives, wo Just advise them to show a little spirit In their work if tliey are to he the honorary representatives of their town.
