 WILL SOON BE BULL

the building will be amply large for such purposes and that the floor could be so constructed that it could be taken up during a horse show. It was also suggest ed that the tan bark might be laid over the floor during horse show week.
 The person making the suggestion stated that if the building could be used for that purpose 1t would insure the success of the show every year in Birmingham. He stated that covered building which can be heated and where the public can be protected from rainy or cold weather is all that is needed to insure the suc- cess of the horse show.

PRATT CITY WANTS BOULEVARD BUILT Sam Foley Talks Interestingly
 on the Subject IMPROVE APPEARANCES Charles B. comstock Starts Movement to Organize Gymnasium and Baths.
 The Membership List
 Grows Rapidly.
IMPROVE APPEARANCES

Pratt City November 10.-(Speeial.)- "The announcement in The A6e-Herald this morning that resolution would like ly be introduced at the next meeting or the City Council to condemn buildings along the car line in this city for the purpose of opening boulevard along the line has created considerable discussion, said Sam Foley tonight.
 q believe that nearly every citizen or Pratt City will favor the improvement, and will lend their assistance to the move ment. The proposition is very feasible one, and one that will hurt nobody; in i fact, it will improve the property effected more than anything else that could be done. The entire city would be greatly benefited by the improvement.
 "A mans first impression of a city Is the most lasting and the first impress sion one has in visiting Pratt City cer- tainly cannot be favorable.
 "A stranger passing through this city on the car line or on alighting from the car in the city sees at first the meanest, dirtest and most unnviting section pos sibly in the Birmingham district.
 Now, Pratt City is way above the av- craze in every respect, and it is a false and very unjust impression that one gets of the place in passing through on the cars. We have as fine people live on the globe. We have fine residences, good streets, progressive business houses. good churches, as fine public schools as any town In the district and the best water In the state. Give us a clean boule- yard and a respectable appearance along the car line and Pratt C>y will compare well with any city in the section.
 Pratt City is favorably situated for residence town, and many more people would be attracted here for homes if these conditions were remedied. hope the council will see fit to take the matter up at once and do all in it's power to bring about the proposed improvement"
 Gymnasium Proposed.
 Attorney Charles B. Comstock has start ed movement looking to the establish ment of gymnasium in Pratt City. He has secured quite a large list of the best people In the city who agree to join in and help to make success of the under- taking
 The plan Is to secure suitable quarters in some central location to be fitted up with baths and gymnasium fixtures. One or two places have been suggested, but no defin- ite arrangements have been made.
 Pratt City has no institution of the kind and the plan is meeting with consider able encouragement. It is possible that meeting of those interested will be called within few days to discuss plans of get tlng the organization in working order.

A WHOLESALE GROCERY.

Such a Concern and Those Inter.

Man"

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, March Dear Sir:
Mexico needs an up-to-date wholesale
grocery house. l know every town
and village 10 Missouri, and there is no
section In the State where a jobber in
groceries Is more needed than In Mex
leo. Such a house would be sure OF a
good trade from the day II opened and
we have experienced men In Mexico In
the grocery business, who have ample
capital TO control such a buslness;why
not go at 1t? We have the best whole
sale grain and produce house Of any city
DR. town In Missouri and it grows In
trade yearly. A grocery house would
do all the business 1t could manage,
for no city has better railroad facili.
ties and growing towns are springing
up all over u territory within a ra-
dius OF so miles Of Mexico in every
direction. No city is better known,
and none with a more energetic and
intelligent set of business men. We
have everything that Sedalia, Hanni-
bal or Springfield has that is needed
to support such a house, and much
that neither Of these cities have, which
support several wholesale grocery
houses, so let's have a wholesale groc-
cry house in Mexico.
