The mayor and council have decided
that the ordinance requiring all places
of business to be closed on Sum
days must be enforced. All the
ordinances of the city should be
enforced. IF law is an objec'

enforce it. No great hardship
can be worked on any one by closing
their places of business on one day in
the week.

The Domestic is the standard, by
which statesmen seek to sell their
inferior sewing machines, "Just as good
as the Domestic" is heard on every
hand, but why? because the Domestic
is the best. Unconsciously every

to the recognition of the proud position
occupied alone by the Domestic sewing
machine.

If your Viola correspondent will
just let us know when he gets ready

James Patterson of Smallman, has
been spending a few days visiting
relatives in this vicinity.
Last Saturday evening while Frank
Mitchell and ScoCt Roberts were en-
gagged in pitching horse shoes at

threw horse shoe, striking Roberts
in the head, and making an ugly
wound.
