We like the ring of the artic'e in last week's issue, signed "Cititf n,"
Advocating the ineorporaiion of Tracy City. ' We have not given ike nil

be taeie wall-meaiung but penny wise and fjonnd ftolish persona, who will
oppose suck a coarse, merely for lear of being called upon for a few dol-
jars in taies, but we have faith enough in the moral and' patriotic send
sent of this people to believe that such persons will be in the minority.
We de not mean M decry onr own town, but let na look at the plain
truth, v It is only by doing that we can hope to better vndeairable
conditions. "'"";;."- - :' .''Z:::''''.
Fiist, What should be the streets ol the town are almost impassable
roads; far worse, in many istance.4, than the country roads.' . '
SacoKft, We have nn sidewalks. ,: " v.
Thud, We have no ligbta, (and, on account of the cheapness of
- fuel we could make electric lights lor little more thau half what it costs
other Tennessee towns to make theirs.) -
Focbth, And by no mesns of least importance, we are without po
lice potee'inn. We have recently seen a public gathering, church supper
nt that, literally forced to close doors and disperse, because of a few
drunken vagabonds. ' That this could" occur here at this day and time,
Kbamld cauae every Self-respecting citisen in the county to burn with in
dignation. We, who know better, and have powers to appeal to the better
sentiment ol our lellow men have no moral right to tolerate such eon
duuMis. We have no right to permit might to dictate, and anarchy and
chaos to stalk abroad. -
Tea, let us look at the tru-h aa it is, and then let ns resolve to be
ble to tell the wrrld in nine'.y day that we have a clean, strong, efficient
municipal government, and that, we are making good progress toward
treeta and lights. j.J;'.:; v'-'
Mm. Qrckot will guarantee that the property in town wil be en
hanced in value two dollars for every dollar of municipal taxes collected.

With the nnprecenlentel activity in this section, resulting from
the building of new railroads, opening of rew mines etc.. Tracy City
should take on a new lease of life, A sense of public spirits and local

solemn pledge to do hi part toward the advancement and upbuilding of

Last Saturday's edition of the Chattanooga Evening Mem, was a
paper of which the Sew, Chattanooga, the State and the South have a
right to be proud. We like people who do things, and that paper give
every evidence that there's been something doing around the Aetes office. ,
A Republican governor and a Democratic mayor were participants in
the reception given by Chicsgo to the president. This is as it should be.
When it comes to giving the president n good time, politics should be for

" Mrs. Grundy," is the new name of an old paper published at
' Tracy City. The paper, of course, is full of goraip snd news about neigh
bors and thinrs. May the tongue of Mrs. Grundy, of Grundy, never
tire. Mashvillo American. . r
We doll our " bonnet " to the America, and assure its genial editoi
that while the ' tongue " of Mm. GnrsDt will be a right smart given to
wagging, it will endeavor to elevate the standard of country newspapers,
and benefit the comunity, at every wag.
There's good nnney in gardening. A fortune has been made out

Yes, and this reminds us of the undoubted practicality of the times.
It is only few years since the Yellow Aster yielded rather bountifully,
but flower gardens are out of date. ' .
Pliask don't target that Mrs. Grundy is the helpmate of Grundy
oanty. tike wants clean, readable news from all over the county, and
intends to merit the hearty co-operation and support of every Grundy

Fibst The rain was falling alow

Ibe night was dark: the road
muddy,
But I. H.C. came to the appointed place,
With mad en hi foot and a frown upon
ble face.
Recoup H told ui about It, wltb aa x
preaaion of pltty,
That he stepped of of the sidewalk in
Tracy Oky.
And hi foot atrack the earth, where it
seemed very rotten,
- And he doubted very much it th placs
had a bottom.
Third -My breeches-leg caught it, a toot
high, he (aid, '
Aad earnestly gating, he then shook hi
head,
And added these words with aoaae ani
mation: " I wast Tracy City to hav Cob-
PORATlon."
Foubtb Thia question being sprung,
though not with reluctance,
Was Ireely discussed ; for we felt its im
portance, Kach pok for himself, and said with
ambition,
We'll do what we can to have a corpor
tion. t . , .W.E. TU.I.BTT .
