Why.
Why doesn't the Board of
Trade awake from its Rip Van
Winkle doze and get busy?
Why don't the citizens of
Mexia organize a 10,000 club and

tended to this city?
Why isn't some effort made to
interest capitalists in buildingjan
electric road to Fairfield instead
of remaining quiet and per-

Why don't the ladies of Mexia
organize a • civic improvement
club and agitate the planting of
shade trees along our streets?
Why are all the sewers per-
mitted to dump their filth into
