Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-12-10
SEVERAL THINGS TO
Say Because We Fell That Way and
Because il is Due the Business
Men.

On an average the Monroe
City DEMOCRAT is not a grum
bier nor a kicker. but kind of
happy-go lucky duck, because
it is of Missouri and in the best
part of it, Monroe City, where
as good people as can be found
on earth dwell and because in
contact with business men it is
treated as a business PROPOSE
ton, a paying proposition.
That is why there is no 'grum-
BILE, no kick, but the happy.go-
lucky temperament.
What brings this feeling and
thought out? Look at this issue
of the paper and see what can
be accomplished in a small
county Office, with a very limit
ed force in seven days. You
will find the cream of every
business interest in this city
represented in it's columns.
! For years, Monroe, the Queen
of the Prairies, has been noted
for it's Liberal Business Men
for the immense stocks of mer-
chandlse carried by them.
stocks that would be an honor
to Hannibal or even the Gem
City. Those stocks running
into the Thousands Of Dollars
are bought and must be sold.
This is large trade territory
aud through advertising freely
| in the DEMOCRAT those stocks
! are sold, sold at small profits
to he sure, sold at prices that
Simply defy outside competition
and lhdt is the reason that from
a small hamlet, Monroe has be-
come a thriving little city.
la this issue of the DEMOCRAT
you will fiud the merchants
offering a larger stock of orna-
mental as well as useful Holt
day Goods than ever before.
Now is your cha nee to take
advantage of those afferings.

At the home of Miss Drummer at
No, u Thirty-eighth street, west. there
will be held this afternoon and evening
and tomorrow at the same time, a par
lor bazaar for the benefit of st. Paul's
Church.
The rooms on the lower floor have
been prettily decorated with evergreens
and the dainty articles that are to be
sold or disposed of in some other man
ner have been Hastily arranged on the
tables and mantels. Miss Drummer
and. the other ladies of the church have
taken many pains in decorating the
rooms and arranging things so that the
bazaar will be all that it should be.
Both the little folks and the grown
folks will find things to interest them,
and, too. at reasonable figures. Every
article that will be disposed of was
donated, and the ladies can afford to
cut prices. They promise that those
who attend the bazaar will really i'm
agine that they are attending bar
gain day sale. For the children there
will be toys and prettily dressed dolls.

many. people to-day and tomorrow.
I. There will be music and other things
to entertain those who gather under
the dainty Japanese lanterns, and re-
freShmentS will be served. A charming
menu has been arranged, and better

able than those asked at the restau-
rants. And this is quite an induce
ment. The parlor bazaar is certain to
be a success and a neat sum will be
realized for st. PauPS.

WILL PUT DOWN MAINS
TO CATHEDRAL CEMETERY.
Water Committee Figuring ON Ex-
tending system Next Year.

In all probability water mains will
be run next year from the old toll gate
on Moore avenue to the Cathedral Gem
etery.
The Water Committee of Council has
been considering such a course, and the
members are anxious to do the work.
The putting down of these mains is
almost certain to be provided for when
appropriations are made up.
At present there are no hydrants in
the Cathedral Cemetery. and the rum
ming of the mains there would make
it possible for the owners of lots to
have a constant supply of water.
The scheme is to run 1GlS feet of
six-inch mains as far as Wagners, so
as to afford fire protection to property
in the vicinity; 1895 feet of four-inch
mains from that point to the cemetery,
and 600 feet of three-inch mains
through the cemetery.
