The original committee Of Murray
citizens, appointed at mass meeting
IN October Of 1903, met in the local
warehouse Wednesday night TO consld-
er the question Of advertising the city,
with a view to inducing a better class
Of laboring people 70 locate here.
This committee Is made up OF the
leading and most conservative business
men and citizens Of Murray
The advertising committee reported
that they had come to the conclusion
that the expense connected with get
ting out prospectus Of the city and
It's interests would be greater than the
people would care to meet.
Therefore they suggested that several
hundred copies OF the Christmas News.
In which the pages are devoted to the
educational and business interests Of
Murray, be purchased and sent TO peo-
pie I'm those localities where II Is
thought they would accomplish the
most good In advertising this city.
They also proposed that several thous-
and copies Of the resolution passed at
the first meeting OF the citizens be-
printed and distributed about from
place to place.
These suggestions were accepted, and
the advertising committee was author
ICED TO carry out the same and pay the
expense out Of the funds which the
treasurer has on hand,
ft,ta tha gaaTnfQrgf IF thIa
committee received, In answer to
letter written to the management Of the
local smelter a statement setting forth
that companys position on this matter
stating plainly and distinctly that the
Smelter management would prefer TO
employ those men who were more OF an
intelligent class than the ones now
complained OF.
The object OF this committee has been
greatly misrepresented OF late II IS
not their intention TO drive the Greeks
and Austrian laborers out Of Murray,
but instead, to advertise the interests
OF this place so that industrious home
seeking people who read OF Murray VIII
come here and locate. Those people
who would live like citizens and edu-
Gated beings instead Of ten or twelve
in one small room, az the foreign ele-
ment which has begun to increase mere
OF late do. The class OF people desired
are those who win become naturalized
citizens, thrifty. industrious, nome
building people, who will help to sup
mort the schools and also build up the
commonwealth of Murray
