Some Reasons Why Cooper Needs a
Good System— None Why She
Shouldn't Have It.
It would reduce sickness:—
Nino tenths of the number of eases
of fever arise from the use ot impure
water. With a good system of wa-
ter-wouks, every drop of water
would be Uttered and the sanitary
condition of the town improved a
hundred per cent.
IT WOULD LOWER INSURANCE:—it
would astonish you if you would in-
quire mto the rates of insurance with
and without water works and count
up the difference in the cost..
It would be a vast protection
j aoainst fire:—You may think the
I next house to burn in Cooper will be
j the other fellow’s hut it is just as lia-
ble to be your own. Water works
i would lessen the danger to both your
I and your neighbor’s property.
| It would save Labor:—It is a
| good deal easier to turn a faucet than
| to fill two gallons ot water twelve
leut a dozen times a day.
It would be a great conveni-
ence :—To know that you will have
| plenty of water without having to
save, whether it rains or not without
any fixing and airanging of pipes
would itself be a source of satisfac-
tion.
It would prevent divorce:—
Who shall draw the water will 1 no
longer be a source of contention in
the family.
It will have you money:—The
cost of building and keeping up cis-
terns and tic ughs, of buckets and
ropes, of the price paid for water in
the dry seasons will more than equal
the $1 per month which will furnish
an ordinary famdy with all the wa.
ter they cau possibly usj. All tins
can be had if you will have the city
issue bonds which will ruise your
taxes not more than forty and maybe
just half that number of cents on the
hundred dollars.
Will you have it?
If you think Cooper is not ready
for water-works, lets have your rea-
sons for same but don’t sit down on
a proposition until you have investi-
yated it and know what you are talk-
ing about. If ever a town needed
anything, Cooper is the town and if
there ever was a need there can be
no doubt as to what it is, The wa-
ter which half the people drink
during the summer months especially
does more for the doctors and ceme-
teries than 100 cents tax would do.
Think about this, talk about it and
act upon it.
Better Roads.
Attorney G“nera! Bell holds, cor-
rectly no doubt, that a general state
tux for road building wouid be un-
constitutional. Hence that means of
highway improvement is prevented.
But there is uo inhibition against
local tax for load purposes, and real
ly it is only a difference in detail
whether taxes are assessed by the
state and distributed among the
counties or are assessed and collect,
ed directly by the counties them-
selves. Indeed, the local tux is pru
ferable for some reasons. Commis-
sioners will be more economical if
they must levy the taxes and be re-
sponsible directly to the taxpayers of
their own community than if they
could draw the money from the
state’s general revenue. Somehow
people for get that taxes in the State
or Federal treasury have come out of
their own pockets. — Houston Post.
A NOVEL SCHEME.
Habitual Drunkard Bill.
The following bill was passed by
llie recent legislature, and received |
the governor’s Signature:
Section 1. Any person who shall
knowingly soli or give or shall cause
to bo sold or given, or who shall be
instrumental in the selling, giving or
procuring ot nny spirituous or malt
liquors, or medicated bitters capable
of producing intoxication, to any
person who is an hnbitual drunkard,
shall be fined not less tlinn $23 nor
more than $100.
Section 2- An hanitual drunkard
within the meaning of this act is one
who makes it a habit to get drunk or
who bubi'ually beeouier. intoxicated
by the voluntary use of intoxicating
liquors.
Younjj Men Play Ghost lo Scare Away a
Would Be Suitor of Their Sister.
In another column will he found
an account of a mysterious ap-
pearance of what was reckoned as
a hobgoblin or ghost near Ladonia.
It seems the young men and the
curious minded old men have been
going out to the Melton home by
tens and twenties to take a crack
at the bullet proof visitor. Fora
long while the trick succeeded but
the thing got to be pretty danger-
ous for Mr. Ghost, so a disclosure
followed which exposed a plot
which, to say the least, is original
in its purpose.
A whole volume could he writ-
ten on the motives for creating
ghosts and fiction is full of tin-
parts they have played in finding
fortunes, exposing murders and
tormenting criminals, vet when
two young rustics use the device
to scare away a young man whom
they do not approve as their sis-
ter’s sweetheart in this day of en-
lightenment. there is added anoth-
er chapter to the “Uses and Ben-
efits of Ghosts.”
The young man in question, we
are informed, is hired on the Mel-
ton farm and not being able to
persuade their father to dispense
with his services, the Messrs.
Melton devise a plan to make him
leave of his own accord.
The young men have been ex-
changing time in playing the part
of Ghost and not until they were
forced to, did they disclose their
secret. Meantime the schemed
against continues his work by day
and his love-making during the
evening hours not at all disturbed
by the strange wanderer nor his
repeated moans and other doleful
sounds.
We hear sundry ways to defeat
the plans of an unwelcome, un-
wished for brother-in-law, but
Ibis is altogether tin original ease.
