The Evidence.
Many Of our people often point to
the business men Of Marshalltow n "a
men OF enterprise. They do well in
90 doing. One evidence OF the en-.
terprise of the business men OF
Marshalltown may be seen by an ill.,
epec,ion Of tho advertising colamns
OF tho Marshall Times. One business
man occupies six columns Of the Times
with an advertisement two others
use column and a halt each, and FIVE
others use one column each. Is Mt
the evidence admissible and credible?
