Those who believe that sdrY''
town is a dead town, should have
been in Bolivar Monday and Tues
day of last week. Notwithstanding
the short crops and scarcity of mon.
ey, our streets and stores were
crowded and the merchants report
a most satisfactory business. The
crowds were good-natured, quiet
and orderly-not an arrest was
made. The ladies made their pur.

reeling, drunken men and 10 hear

road the fruit and vegetables business
is a considerable part of the business
aside from the passenger traffic, and
therefore refrigerator cars in which the
