HARBITS IN THE CHILD,
The following Is taken from a paper on
Habiis snd Will by Mis, Theodore W,
Birney in the Delineator for September:
“The habits of reverence, gentleness,
courtesy, honesty, courage and patience
like the opposites are absorbed by the
child from those with whom he is most
closely associated. It is in theso attri
butes that an ounce of exam;le out
weighs & ton of precept. It is & charm
lug custom to lose no opportunity either
fu reading fiction or the circumstances
attending on everyday living to expross
an enthusiastic appreciation of the gowd
the noble, beautifu! and trie, but valu
able beyond and above all discussion of
these virtaes is, “To be as nearly as we
can what we wish our childven to be. "

How About Water Works?
Water works. That's what
Monticello needs. It would af
ford a much needed sewerage sys
tem and increase the sanitary
conditions of the town and make
batter health. Why can’t we have
water works? That's a question
every one should answer, Tt
wotld make Monticello more de
sirable as a residence and busi
ness place, increase the value of
property and add greatly to the
importance of the city in every
way.
Bonls can be issued and water
works put in without a cent’s cost
to the town, The incoms on the
water works from the different
business and residences using
them would more than pay the
interest on the bonds and the sur
plus could be nused by the city to
buy up the bonds or to make other
needed improvements.
Let Monticello be a live little
city. Let the people show that
they are enterprising and pro
gressive. Monticello is a live
place and the way to keep it alive
and make it livelier is for the
people to show public spirit. Why
not have water works?
