It is astonishing at the zeal and
push manifested by the citizens of
our city in engaging in any enter-
prise that will redound to tbe social
and financial interests of our city
Certain papers of Custer county
have been continuously vilifying
and trying in various other wayg
to tarnish the good names of the
business men of Clinton calling
them “grafters” Shylocks” and
hard names too numerous to men-
tion When as a matter of fact
a more honorable class of men than
those doing business in Cliuton
never gr-iced tbe earth And if
the same harmony continues to
exist in the' future as in the past
our prediction that Clinton will be
a city of forty thousand inhabit-
ants before she is the age of Arapa-
ho will come to pass as surely as
God rules and governs the universe
Twelve different states ere repre-
sented in Clinton — nearly all
strangers to each other— end yet

ple never associated themselves to-
