First Market Day Proves to Be a
CouDIete Success.

A market day, a new enterprise for Still
water. was inaugurated under the most ia
vorab,e circumstances yesterday, and the sue
cess of the first days business indicates that
the enterprise Will be an unqualified success
from now on. Some time ago market asso-
citation was formed here its members COM
prising the best business men in the city.
They raised several hundred dollars by sub
scription and built a market shed on the
levee. Yesterday was decided upon as the
first market day, and hundreds of farmers,
market gardeners and cattle men took ad-
vantage of the movement and came here for
the purpose of dsposing of their wares. Buy
ers were on hand at the market place to take
everything that was offered, and early in the
afternoon every farmer went away rejoicing,
not single thing remaining unsoid. The
best market prices were paid for everything,
and 1t is estimated that more than 100 loads
of produce were sold. The market shed
proved inadequate, but teams were scattered
around the levee, and the buying and sell
ing was of the busiest scenes witnessed
in Saltwater for many years. Members OF
the association looked for a large influx or
farmers, but didn't expect to entertain more
than half the number that came. Arrange
ments have been made by the association to
take everything that would be left over, but
happily the demand was greater than the
SUPPLY. Every one rejoices over the success
of the enterprise, and the general feeling is
that the establishment of a market will prove
a Blessing to Saltwater and surrounding coun-
try. The city council voted to make the pom
toon bridge free on market days, which will
be every other Wednesday for the present.

ably follow.
