ESSAYS BY SCHOOL GIRLS One of the best assets a town can have is a live Chamber of Com merce. A town without an organ ization such "as -a. Promoter's.

It is useless for the town to have such an organization and just a few ; business men compose this organiza tion. It is necessary for every business man to be enrolled in such an organization "that is putting forth effort to make the town a pro gressive one. . Selma is -large, enough , and has enough progressive business men ia 'the town to have an all the-yeajf-round paid secretary, whose busi ness it is to look after the interests of the town in many ways, such" as makinir an effort to bring to the town more 'manufacturing concerns; see that more residences are built i to take care of the people who,' want to come here to live; also to" keep an eye on 'the railroad facilities, and the freight and express iates; to see what inducements can be mifctn q get same large jnanuiac- (editorial) column, and commend the author for the manner in which she prepared this article. THE HEALTH OF SELMA AND VICNITY ALONG THE NEUSE In making enquiries about the health of Selma and this vicnity, we find that it is one of the most healthy section in North Carolina. Selma is situated four miles from Smithfield, which borders on the Neuse River, which passes through the southern part of Smithfield. The entire section along the Neuse is healthy, from the begin ning of this river all the way down to New Bern. Years ago those livinsr along this river suffered from chills and fever. This is not so of late years, as the health department of North Carolina as well as the health departments of each county si,Jccat jjV-Cal!ii Jfhfeus River parses have k T. 7"1 - ijhkiui oi-tne WHuuiroes. ana Mh. -..Ttfcy - - , B,;opm,c tf give ' er fever insects such an exmJ Was climbing, Xhatii3ib-tjh em av site; Tree. jtve them thetax-f that they are not prevalent as of years back, andNhe disease of chills and fevers., haV"eWabated to such an extent that ' l&tdcm one hears of a malignant case of f?fer, and the chills of years ago, are 'now seldom heard of. 1 ' -.' The eradication 'of the mosquitoes and other small and poisonous in sects is partly' responsible for - the absence now of days of these dis eases. ' ' The low places where these in sects breed are being filled in and made solid- instead, of the mirky mud and water of years ago. - The sanitary conditions of the towns along the ; Neuse are getting better and bettor each year, and it is predicted that the mosquitoes will soon be a thing of the past, all of which is due to the attention given by the State department of health, as well as the Bounties and towns through this section, which the river traverses. The health' of our State will soon rank with that of. the best healthy state in the Union. them a site Tree.' Jve them theNtax- . es free for five "or ten years. This 'will cause them to consider the mat ter. If the man . who . owns the land , finds out that a concern is thinking . . of coming here, begins to study how . much : more , he can get for the . property! if the plant comes here ; and buys from lum, than he can get : at present lime, he is a hindrance to the progress, of the town. If a. concern comes here that . employes 150 people, that will add at least 400 people . to our town. These 400 people have got to eat and wear clothing. If they are working here- -we can count on 80 per cent of the wages being spent m our town. The merchants and business men of the town will reap the benefit. If this is true, why should not . every - one be a mera- ber of the organization that causes these concerns to come this way? The money spent by the people who fill positions in these plants will be distributed among all the merchants and each merchant should be will ing to bear his 'part, of tho burden. If he is not willing to do this, then he is not a true citizen. If you want to succeed at anything, yu must put your whole mind and thought into it. If you do this, tinere. is.no such, thing as failure. ; iase ior instance the newspaper business here in Selma: We have been told by several people since coming here that the newspaper proposition in Selma had always r been a failure; and too, they have said that "you can't make it a suc cess." Our reply in each case has been, that if we did not get the co operation of the business men, it was impossible for us to succeed. We are here, and we are giving our time and money to the upbuild ing of the "Johnstonian", in such a way that it., will be second to no small town community paper' i. North Carolina. We ask the co operation of the business . men to this. end. If we can't get it we can't ,. reach the goal we are -striving for, , and we can t help Selma grow and prosper as it should. fcvery business house in this ; town' should give us an ad., large or mall, so we can meet our expenses. If we can't get the proper support we cant meet our obligations, and the result win be your paper' will just drag along with the manager worried each week aboat the obliga tions he has --.to meet;- but, as a rule you can always hear some one WHERE'S THE EDITORT An Oklahoma editor tells of an old Indian who came into his office to pay for his ' paper. The editor took the money; . then the Indian wanted a receipt Mr. : .Indian, in fact, insisted. After making it out, the editor wanted to know why he was so persistent about wanting receipt. The Indian said: "Me die some time. Go to big- gate and St Peter ask if I been good Indian. say yes. He say, 'Did. you pay for editor ior naoerT' I say yes. . . . . . - - ' K . Where is receipt?'. I no have it.NJet out this hole, you're have to run all over hell to find you and the receipt' There' was once a girl named Elisa beth Owen, l She was sweet, fair, and charming; not doing much crowing. And there was a boy named Tirao- theous Going ' " He was handsome, and cheerful could do his own crbwing. - Yes, he was all right, he was white, black and yellow, And if he got hurt he did not much bellow. He, in love fell with her though, she was not painted, With him Elizabeth become soon ac quainted. But how could she like him? White, black, and yellow T Ohi His shoes they were black, and his gold if was yellow. In heart and skin he was white, charming fellow, They first met, I should tell you, in the Ten Cent Store, He in love fell with her, said, You, You, I adore, And she in reply, said; You are cer tainly charming, O, Timotheous dear, I will call you "My darling." O, I am happy indeed Elisabeth, My Queen, Let us now share together, a ; cone of ice cream. ? I will now buy for you dear a neck lace of pearls, For Elizabeth, you are the sweetest of girls. So he bought her the pearls, and ten cent gold ring, Let us now soon be married, andalLjx our life sing, 1 We ll sail on life's sea, and as happy we'll be As a pair of sweet doves " way up high in a tree. They were wedded, in an air ship were blying at noon, To spend at the North Pole-a warm hoheymoon. ' O with tightning speed they reached the North Pole, - Which, they found tall, majestic stuck up in a hole, And soon to the top they together were climbing, ' .' To eat their - luncheon, love and feasting combining. They ate roasted snowballs, "hot dogs", this and that, . : Then said to each ofter, Let us now take a nap- ...X They scarcely were started,. fhiM k.J Vw .!.: R tliu , thfin or dinner Saying, When I have eaten them, IH not be the thinner. But, a lighted fire cracker they . dropped down his throat. It exploded, and he growled, "You , have got my goat" He slid down that Pole in double quick time, And off to his cave went there to cough and to whine. There he thought out a cure, O! He was a swiller, He drank twenty bottles of Blink- ams Pain Killer. So the two cooing doves came down from the Pole, And with one mighty jerk pulled it out of its hole, Tim sneaked down that deep hole to learn what was in there, And bring up the news to Elizabeth so fair, Timotheous arrived way down in the center, Found the climate sublime, not the semblance of winter. But there he heard sitrhine. tho South Pole was crying .
