One Day Each Month-Business

Many suggestions have been made
toward a revival OF the custom OF
holding monthly stock sales in this
city, and a movement has been inaug-
urated with this end in view.
In recent years this custom has been
discarded, but the Encouragement the
movement has received lately shows
that Mexico can again enjoy the
monthly visits Of prominent stockmen
| from the surrounding counties.

men on the subject:
s. P. Emmons, treasurer of Mexico
Commercial Club: "The movement
has my hearty Endorsement. II means
much for Mexico and vicinity.n
r. r. Buckner, prominent stock
man: "Mexico should by all means
revive the monthly stock sales. Fulton

people from distance are attracted
TO those cities by the stock sales"
W. S. Hathaway, President Mexico
Commercial Club: "The movement
meets my hearty approval and / will
do what can to bring about the de
sired results.n
John T. Ricketts,, Secretary Mexico

The Jefferson City Tribune contains
a splendid article together with inter-
views opposing new telephone sys-
tenn for Jefferson City. Those inter-
este1 take the position that one first
class system is enough for town Of
that size. Where you have two sys-
TENS you have to pay double price to
get results II you cover the field
you have To have two phones, which
is very annoying In addition to extra
expense. The business men Of Jeffer-
son City are signing contract agree,
ing to use the system already establish
ed, which gives efficient service at
reasonable prices. TIE following is a
sample OF the interviews. Fired J
OFT. druggist, said: II would not lei
them put a phone in my place fol
nothing, and think the people OF the
city would be foolish to allow them
put In free of charge AS soon as tht
present company was forced out oi
business, then up would go the price
