The message of Mr. Bell comes under th; latter class. Th^re'i not • flower on -II the hilla. t v e free In every city there are people w t 1 opinions of their own. Some of thtse , U uid’rmTknow that such a wonder.'ui p ; >ple in Miiledgeville will nn tably be at variance with Mayor Bell and di»- ' c )irn a te existed a ’tea with him on many vUal points. Municipal ownership is a question of im- c 1 8 e m ;nse magnitude and one which involves many of the fine points in modem civil goverment, about which most of us are ignorant.

ItV g< ing to be a pretty hard thing to satisfy everybody, but the management is striving to do it. Everybody work ing for the paper realizes that there remains a lot to be done to get up to oven a good stardard, but it can be don< by persistent effort. The paper needs the co-operation and support of the readers and the public generally. Maybe there are some things about il you don’t like; if ther* is please tell about it and watch fo> changes. Anybody who says co-oper ation is not reeded to make any enter prise successful is mistaken. The public are essential to business salvation now adays The News stands for the people, for right, for things that will work for the apbuilding of the country and for the benefit to the community at interest (t is to our advantage te have the peo ple's support and in return we intend (o protect their interest at every point Let's get together in the work. Join hands in a sort of genuine friendly st >nd the problem. Still many people will unquestionably submit opinions on it w.thout giving it due consideration and thereby influence many who are densely i'norant. There is an element of uncertainty attached to the outcome of sui h a Tsirs when disagreements arise between men who ought to know and undei- stand and co-operate to work for the welfare of the city. Public discontent is generally aroused over poor service. Perhaps peop’e of Miiledgeville are just now awakening to the true condition and are clamoring fo ■ different service from that which they have had in the past. City water- w irks and city electric lights are r.ot experimental venture-1, for they are t-oroughly established in many cities. Poor telephone service would—and il nvght be added does—occasion displeasure on the part of the citizens and city 0 vnership might solve thiB problem. These are days when people will have w mt they desire. It is only a questi m as to the manner in which they will get it. Mayor Bell’s message is open, trank and to the point, Tile great scope of a e tv's government makes it necessarily long, but it no doubt merits reading fu l/by every citizen of Miiledgeville who is interested in progress and advance- mint. To the man who is unacqu tinted with the so-called inner-workings of t te government and the wishes of the people in a local way t ie document is ore o! importance. .Speaking from the standpoint of the people as a whol« no opin ion can be rendered hero. Giving utterance to an opinion, the nucleus of whiih lies in another city, there s*ems to be no room for contention but that Miiledge- v.Ue is now a wiser place from the standpoint of city government than ever be fore in its history arid tho way open for great material progress and prosperity. And this is said without any reflection on the people of paat, for the country is advancing. Miiledgeville is taking its place in the front ranks in the line of march, the clarion call has been sounded,the way’iw open for improvement and it n >w remains the duty of the people, collectively and individually, to do their work in the task that confronts the city-the great almost impossible task of ris- 1 ig above the debris of a hundred yoars of apathy, getting out of the worn channe’s of one line of thought and action and joining hands, touching eltows, in the struggle which must inevitably result In olacing this city in ita rightful place among the leading municipalities of the state, and that means of the south. extent that men cannot determine where the summer ends a no winter commences. When that great process starts sure ly it will commence hereabouts and Georgia folk will be the first to share in the great blessing.

President Parks «,< th* C..*nU Normal & Industrial work, do all you can to decrease his task. And there is another contingency presented in the future. These stud ents must have room at church. The state cannot build a church, the college cannot have one of its own, but the girls must be provided for in the voars. to come.

It is a duty which every citizen nf Millodge- vllle owes to the faculty of the G. N. & I. and to Miiledgeville to tell about the college and its work i very*hire and on all possible occasions.
