HOW ABOUT FTP

This fall the question of whether
a court of common pleas shall be
established at Galena will be voted
upon. Personally we are in favor
of the court. and will express
our reasons later.
But what we want to get at IL
this: Columbus is working hard to
get county high school and we
believe she will secure enough
petitioners TO have the matter
voted upon al the general election
the same time the court question
is voted upon. Now Columbus is
of course opposed to a court at
Gaiena. Baxter Springs wants the
high school. Columbus will try to
keep Galena from getting the
court, but what will Galena do
about the high SCHOOL,
Baxter Springs stands ready to
give handsome brick building
with a whole block of ground
for high school purposes. while
Galena stands ready to furnish
court house building for the court
of common pleas.
A hint to the wise should be suf.
ficent. Baxter Spriugs can get
that high school If her people will
try. How can she get itI
Well. ask the people Of Galena.

ALL CAPITALISTS DO NOT CRUSH
lABOP.

II may be interesting to some to
know what some of the men who
labor in our town have been able to
accomplish.
Some two years ago Y. T. Gaba
and Lyman Coleman, being exper.:
fenced and skillful mechanics,
sought some one to buy the plan
ing mill and give them chance to
run it. No one seemed disposed to
back them in their coveted enter
prise. But being plucky, they
rented the mill and took their own
chances of pulling through. They
had many obstacles TO overcome,
in that the mill had failed so often
before, and thus they approached
me. somewhat timidly. as repre-.
sentative of the Long. Bell Lumber
Co.. to make arrangements for us
to supply them with lumber. They
got sufficient encouragement to
cause them to press on. So early
in the year of 1893, finding their
business increasing, they again
sought some one to aid them in
buying the mill. Again they pre-.
scented the matter TO me, telling me
what the mill could be bought for,
and were very anxious to arrange
some way to buy it. Knowing their
ability and that they had made
some money, encouraged them to
buy, saying we would stand ready
to help them through. This assur-
ance gave them courage to make
the purchase; and all the aid that
was necessary for us to give was to
continue to supply them with lum-
Der to keep the mill going.
At the end of the year they had
paid for the mill and all expenses,
and only owed a small balance on
their lumber bill, thus giving them
the mill as a net profit for their
years work. Now, while they owned
the mill and had the skill, they were
short of means to supply II. So
again we encouraged them to press
on, agreeing TO supply them with
lumber. and We find by September
first we had sold them 5000 worth
of lumber on which we had made a
net profit of $24O, while they had a
showing of net profit of about
81 800 for the first eight months Of
the year.
From the foregoing you can see
how little encouragement ON the
part of capital given to plucky
skilled labor may enable ii to de.
velop enterprises of no mean abil.
