Chamber OF Commerce Ball.

We are in favor of the business men S
ball. It will bring together for hand
shakings, social converse and the refining
influences of the muses. the best men and
women OF our wonderful city. Such &C.
casions are always productive OF good.
For recreation, they are like walk in the
flower garden or drive through thewoods.
They exalt, refine, ennoble. They incite
a sociable and friendly feeling towards
each other and soften the rough side OF
life. A town without its hops and
balls is like a sermon without
song. The smiles of women and
the chat of men under the inspiriting in
fiuence of delicious music will do more to
mould and weld the fraternal feeling of a
community than a thousand set of resolu-
lions with preambles nine feet long.
Then the purpose is worthy one. The
chamber of commerce deserves support.
Not many years ago when the fierce
shafts of hatred and malice were darting
through the hearts of men here, the
chamber of commerce was the first or
ganization to bring the two contending
elements together and make them
shake hands. 1t has accomplished mar
veLous amount of good since then.
The result OF its work the past year has
saved the territory several hundreds of
thousands of dollars in freight tariffs.
Such sterling work deserves sterling re-
cognition. The ball is testimonial ben
eft to the chamber. Let all good citizens
Elsewhere in this issue is printed

uneouivocai success.
