SOMERS

About fifty of our people attended
the old settlers picnic and report a
pleasant day. Since the demise of our
county fair this and kindred gather
ings are growing in favor as place for
meeting old acquaintance, making
new ones and discussing popular ques-
tions of the day.
Our enterprising merchant, L. Cook,
has recently repaired and enlarged his
shed room and now has accommoda-
tions for a dozen teams. This not only
adds to the appearance of the place,
but serves as a convenient and COM
Portable place for horses while waiting
at the creamery or stores.

Mrs. Westburg, of Palmyra, was the
guest of Mrs. L. Cook during the past
few days.
We had a pleasant call from E. j.
Sabin Monday, who has recently re-
turned from Tennessee, where he has
spent the past year. He is satisfied to
remain in the north.
Interest is growing in the great sill
yer debate that is to come off at the
Woodman picnic Friday, Sept. 4, be-
tween Hon. j. V. Quarles and Hon. NJ.
NJ. Riley. Arrangements are complete
for the accommodation of 5000 people

will be: Riley one hour, Quarles one
hour, and each thirty minutes in which
to close.
The example Henry Lytle has set in
repairing the sidewalk along his lot
should be followed by other residents
along that thoroughfare.

M: Cremp en- said
If the people of this city are deter

that the other storekeepers are compelled
to close also. Yes, Sir, the Old Blue Laws
will be enforced in earnest hereafter. We
are NOT only going to close up ~storekeep-
ers under the VICE and immortality act.
but we are going to stop the playing of
church organs on the Sabbath. as that is
now a business, too, the organiSt being
paid for his services.
am sorry that we are compelled to
take these measures, as it will hurt a
good many people. But if we are to be
prosecuted by a few ministers and church
people, we are going to see that other
violators of the law, including even the
church organists, must pay the penalty of
their oifense. When we have succeeded
in putting a stop TO newsdealers, store
keepers and other lawbreakers violating
the law and made Sunday like a funeral
day we will see how suon the Goo Coos
will let up on us and let us do a quiet side
door business. People want to drink on
Sundays as well as on other days, and
there is no reason why they should not
have it."
Secretary Crempien's resolution was
decided to wait until Justice Douglass had
rendered his decision in the case of A.. u.

on Sunday before any further action is
taken.

played we'll and made one-half of the
number scored from the BAT. M. R. Cobb
