Cities are Built and En terprise Encouraged The special election held on Tuesday to vote on the proposition to bond Mc Cook in the sum of 810000 for the pur pose of constructing a main sewer was somewhat of a surprise to all concerned To its friends and promoters that the result was so decisive to its opponents that the negative vote was so small Of the 419 votes cast 325 were in fa vor of the proposition and 91 against over three to one This is very encouraging and satisfac tory proving the enterprising public spiritednass of the majority of the citi zens of McCook without which no city can hope to progress and advance along material lines or in fact any other line The numerous requests for informa tion about the proposed bond issue from financial sources indicate clearly that no difficulty will be encountered in dis posing of the bonds at par or at a fair premium This result ushers in for McCook a new era Charming Hospitality Mr and Mrs J E Kelley dispensed a charming and
