CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.
Woman, a Factor In Civic Improve-
ment.
After God created Adam He said
it is not good that man should be
alone, I will make a helpmeet for
him, and from one of Adam's ribs
made he a woman, and Adam said
this is now bone of my bone and
flesh of my flesh. This signifies to
my mind he considered her his equal
and after many centuries some few
men consider woman their equal in
point of intellect. God placed them
in a beautiful garden to dress and
keep; but ah! sin entered their
hearts and they were driven out but
not the desire still to beautify and
improve their home and country.
So from the beginning of ages we see
woman a factor in civic improve-
ment. Another lesson we can gather
from the first garden of Eden which
God gave us a pattern of; is, it is in
the power of man and woman to
have these gardens, though not with-
out sin, in the way of parks in all
our cities and towns. Civic improve-
ment pertains to a city and its citi-
zenships where woman can have the
largest play of the faculties which
it takes to beautify a city and uplift
its citizens." Grandly and nobly is
she doing it in many ways. During
the reign of Queen Victoria we see
her identified with numerous educa-
tional and charitable institutions.
Mrs. Walker among the poor girls
in Poplar, Miss Octavia Hill in the
West End Courts, Mrs. Vickers
among the fallen women at Bright-
ton. We have all heard of Mary
Carpenter, a true sister of Charity.
In her active life she devoted herself
to the reclamation of the neglected
poor. She found and superintended
a reformatory institution in Bristol.
Armed with purity of purpose she
went into courts and alleys through
which policemen could scarcely go.
The horrors of the back slums were
open to her. Nothing daunted or
disgusted. She obtained the child-
ren for her school from these miser-
able quaters- At length she won a
great victory, for the government
adopted the proiect and established
reformatory and industrial schools
which have done so much for that
class. In our own America I could
cite you to numbers of women who
have had a hand in the civic im-
provement of her citizenship. Helen
Gould for one, look what she has
done to elevate and ennoble human-
ity. In our own fair state I point
you to the Rescue home at Dallas,
look what Mrs. Johnson and Miss
Effie Johnson have done for poor
fallen women and girls. The plan
for a bond issue to make possible the
establishment of a dormitory in con-
nection with the College of Indus-
trial Arts at Denton has been taken
up by the Woman's Home Mission
Society of the M. E. Church South
aud is said to be meeting with con-
siderable success; several thousand
dollars of the bonds have already
bien placed. Now I have given you
a few instances where woman helped
to improve her citizens, now I will
show yoo how she has helped and
can help improve her town or city.
By promoting and aiding in estab-
lishing parks, putting out shade trees
along the streets, putting fountains
on the school grounds, and other
places convenient to travellers and
poor people ; by assisting the health
officers in keeping sanitary conditions
of our city correct; by organizing
cemetery associations and how sadly
we need one here. Last but not
least she can help procure a hall
and have a Y. M. C. A. and its
auxiliary a Y. W. C. A. organized.
If we women of Hereford cannot do
the big things we can help beautify
and make our town so attractive to
the young people they will not want
to do what would be questionable.
A poet has aptly said :
"We talk about a woman's sphere,
As though it had a limit;
There's not a place on earth or heaven,
There's not a place to mankind giren,
There's not a blessing or a woe,
There's not a whisper yes or no,
Thare's not a feather,s weight or worth,
There's not a life, a death or birth,
Withoui a woman in it,
A great work lays out before us,
sister; what other women have done
on a large scale we can do on a
small scale. Let's up and be doing
for the night cometh when no one
can work.

My business having grown to such an extent,
I find it necessary to take in extra help, and
hereafter Mr. Reid, who now owns an interest,
will be found at the blocks and we will at all
times endeavor to give to our customers the
best that monev can buv.
Honors For Hereford Boy.
E. C. Brodie of this place, who is
attending Southwestern University
at Georgetown this year, has won
distinction for himself by being ap-
pointed a member of the Glee Club
of that institution. The members of
the club are selected from the best
singers of the University and it is
no small honor to be one of the for-
tunate ones to represent the school
in the Glee Club. They have made
trips all over central and north Tex-
as, giving entertainments in the
principal cities, and- have won for
themselves prominence as enter-
taineas as well as advertising and
reflecting great credit on their in-
stitution. We congratulate Mr.
Brodie upon his success. We learn
that he is doing well in his literary
work and has entered heartily into
college life thus making for himself
a creditable record. Such young
men as Mr Brodie reflect great
credit upon their home town and we
justly feel proud of them.

New Courthouse For Quannah.
The Commissioners of Hardeman
county have let the contract to Tom
Lowell and Son of Denton, to erect
anew $50,000 court house at Quan-
nah. The contract calls for the
completion of the building within one
year and it is to be built of stone.
This new court house will be a great
credit to Hardeman county and we
are glad to see such enterprise mani-
fested by our neighbors. We look
forward to the day, and may it come
soon, when Deaf Smith county will
have a large new and commodious
court house to take the place of the
present small and inadequate build-
ing. One that will be commensurate
with our progress and a great credit
to this great county.

An Expensive Divorce Suit.
Marrying French Counts is very
expensive even for multi-millionaries
as is evidenced by the bill sent to
Anna Gould by her lawyer, Edmond
Kelly for legs 1 services in getting
her a divorce from Count Boni.
The bill sent in was $175,000
which George Gould, who is her
trustee, declares is an outrageous
charge and that he will not pay it.

The Value Of Trees.
Nearly every person coming into
this country makes some remark
about the absence of trees, "If there
were more trees" they say, "we
would be bettej satisfied to live on
the plains." A writer in the Min-
nesota Horticulture says: "There
are but few people in the world who
do not amire noble trees on streets
or country roads and wherever they
are found such thoroughfares are
the favorite drives. The man who
plants trees is not only a public
benefactor but he ministers to his
own well being, physical, mental and
spirtual. He deserves credit for al-
trustic work, and he displays good
judgement in securing contentment
for himself, thereby affording a
double motive for for his endeavors.
Honor and happiness will be his re-
ward."
This country could be made as
attractive and as beautiful as any
other country by setting out and
properly cultivating trees. They
should be in every yard in the town
and along all the streets. If we
had the trees we would have a com-
bination of the beauty of the shade
and green foliage of the country
"back yonder" and the best country
and finest climate in the world.
This would be a veritable paradise.
The ladies of the town have started
a forward movement in agitating
the question of civic improvement
and it is the duty of every citizen
to help them carry out their ideas
by beautifying ths town with trees.
Every person who has a home should
have a good orchard of various kinds
of fruit. There is nothing
more wholesome than delicious fruit
and nothing more healthful. If a
few fruit trees were planted every
year there would be a constant sup-
ply of fruit with such little expense
that it would hardly be noticable.
This country is well adapted to tree
culture and our people should take
more interest in growing this "noble
vegetation."

Drinking On Trains Stoped.
Governor Campbell has signed a
bill making it a finable offense to
drink any intoxicating liquor on
trains. The fine to be imposed is
from $10 to $100, according to the
nature of the offense. We hope the
full limit will be given to every per-
son caught breaking this law. There
is nothing more offensive to the
traveling public than to see a crowd
of ruffians on a passenger coach
drinking and making the air hideous
with tneir oaths. Besides being
disgusting to their fellow travellers,
it is unsafe to ride with a crowd of
intoxicated and unruly men.
