Beautify the school grounds. Good morning,, daddy mud hole. How are the frogs Why should the tax payers of Ma con county make a present of $365.00 per year to any man? There is plenty of office space in town for rent and the Press office is 110 plact for loafers. The acting Chief of Police, Mr. F. B. Rogers, seems to be pleasing the citizens with his conduct of the office. The Press has been criticised be cause it carries ads instead of society news. The Press is a very strange paper in that respect If thft chief can find the man who is dumping tin cans near the residence of Mrs. J. S. Sloan, that man will have to make his peace with the court, The Press" has been requested to announce that there will be a mass meeting at the court house- at 8:00 P. M. Saturday, Aprill 11th, for the purpose of . nominating a mayor and aldermen. ThP newspaper columns arc the retail man's show window. The show window in his store is 'seen only by the people 'who pass that way and not all of them while the printer's ink show window is noted by the whole copulation. ; There arc 62 tax payers of Franklin who have not paid their city tax for 1923. The town should not be re quired to borrow money because these taxes remain unpaid. The law provides a way to coik these taxes and no further dn5y should be .derated. ' A Good Appointment .In selecting Hon. Sam L. Rogers hi Franklin to serve as a member of the Salary and Labor Commission the Governor has made an excellent choice. Judging from the .entire membership of this commission whose flames will be found in a news article of this issue the tax payers of 1the state may expect a saving of thous ands of dollars annually when the recommendations of the commission are submitted and approved. 1 'The work of the commission will consist of elimination of duplicate work in the various state depart ments, equalization of the salaries of state employees and of putting a stop to petty grafting which, according to news articles, has been more or less general among these employees. ' Governor McLean is 'determined to bring all the state departments under business methods and the salary and labor commission will bft of great help to him along this line. The Magnetic City A manufacturer who does business in fa well known city, is quoted as saying that he receives many appli cations from men and Women who want to work in his plant, and who say they arc . so inpressed by the ad vantages of his home city that thev vant to locate there. That city is noted, among other things, for sup erior parks and recreational facilities. This should suggest to the people of Franklin that when money is spent wisely to make a city a better place for nsidence, there is a general' drift ' of people into that community. They watch their chances to obtain jobs and homes in that place. v13ut if a city permits itself to be come common place and' fails to do. its share toward modren progress, peo ple will take any chance that comes along by which they can move else where. If is poor policy to fail to keep up with the times and give peo ple the advantages they. demand and can rightly, expect. it, v - " . EASTER-1925 TTE is not here, but is risen." JUL- Uttered from an empty tomb, this declaration contains the answer to the query that has echoed down Jhe ages: "If a man die, shall he live again?" ! Men have speculated upon immortality as far back as their thoughts have been recorded. Instinctively, they have felt that beyond this world, there should be, must be, another. In the story of the Resur rection they find the great basis for their hope, and the proof of their belief. As the day symbolic of new life, 1 Easter is a joyous occasion. In the church it is the happiest of the festivals. Everywhere the significance of the anniversary of the assurance of a life to come is under stood, there is rejoicing. In gratitude for the promise, we express our praise in inspired song, in pageantry, and in offerings of Nature's choicest gifts, the flowers., Nature proclaims the reasonableness of the Christian's belief in the flowering of new life. But, fortunately, the Christian does not depend upon Nature to assure him. The materialist may read his fate in the processes of the natural world, but to the Christian the clear-cut, authentic and personally conveyed message from the Creator Himself, overshadows every other indirect promise. Whenjesusof Nazareth, crucified to appease an angry mob,broke the bonds of death and became "the first fruits of them that slept,"He flooded the gates of eternity with a light that forever dissolved the mystery of Death. Easter, the anniversary of the supreme victory of Time, with its message of hope for every soul, illumines the pathway into the future, enabling men to look across the grave, and know that they are going on. Today, we know that this is only, the beginning. Without the hope and the courage this day inspires, life would be not worth the living. i 5 The Tree Concealed Town It has been remarked in regard to some well known cities, that they v, ere so thickly planted with trees, that in looking at them from some near height or frcin an airplane, there were relatively few buildings visible! The business edifices might stand out, but the houses were mostly covered by Ije abundant shade. Such a town makes a very beatififul ap pearance, and every day the people bless the wisdom and public spirit of tho.Sp who years ago set out and cared for thore trees'. If the people of Franklin wish to make such an impression on those that shall come after them, they should begin this, season to fill up such gaps as tyist in our system of shade trees, and try to obtain a foliage so thick that it shall be the principal feature of the landscape to those who pass over in the air ways of the future. ! Community Point of View The greatest obstacle that has to be encountered in the way of com munity progress is public indiffer ence. There is not as a rule any very powerful opposition to the steps necessary to make a city go ahead and reach a higher level of advant ages. But people are so concerned in their own .little affairs that the majority of them have not formed a community point of view. It can be demonstrated that in creased financial prosperity can be had for all residents, if a city is progressive. Also there is a latent feeling of civic pride that can be de veloped. Men and women naturally like their home towns to make 'a creditable showing in competition with others. You can often wake an indifferent man up, by showing him that his town is falling behind the procession, unless it promotes this or that needed improvement. Spring Planting In some communities, the spirit of improvement has beconij. so strong, that almost every home is attractive ly planted with shrubs, flowers, and trees. Yet this is not the case in the average American town, where much remains to be done in the way of home decoration. The spring season is the favorite period of the year for such, improve ments; and millions of people will get out at this time, and dig in the' dirt and lay plans to add something to the appearance of tneir homes. Every citizen of Franklin"" who has " done something in that line is entitled to a public vote of thanks. , Flowers furnish the most radiant and lovely beauty. Those who plant and cutivatp them find a new interest, and every time they return to their dweling their eyes leap with pleasure at the' charm which they have given to their home. ' For those who find it difficult to give, the time necessary to cultivate flower beds, flowering shrubs form a handsome decoration, though no one need think that they will flourish without any care whatever. But , it is not an onerous task to grow them, and well selected shrubs bring rural charm into a town and turn a home into a nest of beauty. A home lot needs - trees also to create a dignified setting., If they are set out on new streets, distinct addition is 'made -to the value of the property. Many homes look, bare and unimaginative,- because 'no. one ever bothered to add the touch of grace that Such foliage gives. It 'joes not take any great amount of tiine to produce such beauty, and th!o rewards arc satisfying, besides adding, to the coinwercial value of a dwelling.
