town, furnishes the coffin. The
one who is so selfish as to have no
time from his business to give to
city affairs is making the Shroud.
The merchant who will not adver-
tiSe, is driving the hearse. The
man who is always pulling back
from any public enterprise, is
throwing bouquets on the grave.
The man who is so stingy and
selfish as to be always bowling
hard times, breaches the funeral
sermon and sings the doXology, and
thus the town lies buried free
from sorrow and free from all care
ga town that never has anything to
do in the way of public amusement is
on the way to the cemetery"

know? How many years since Kim.
ball had a Fourth of July celebration
or made any attempt at one: It's SO
many years one must do considerable
figuring to name the year.
If the town does not reach the
cemetery, tigurativelY speaking, with
in a twelve-month, and the GRAPHIC
is here, and this writer this side of
the cemetery
Kimball will celebrate the Fourth
of July 1906.
Everybody take notice-more partic-
ularly, Chamberlain, Pukwana, White
Lake, Plankinton, Platte and all the
remainder in this part of the common
wealth.
It's Kimball's turn to shoot, and by
the eternal, she'll shoot in 1906.
A good many business men in this
town are getting the dry-rot so far as
keeping the town to the front is con-
lcerncd, and they are the principal
suffers thereby-practically the only
ones in dollars and cents. 1t doesn't
matter a dollar to a newspaper wheth-
er any public amusement hits Kimball
or not. The experience is that the
newspaper is called upon to do the
printing and advertising gratis and in
one of them ever raked in a dollar on
the Fourth it is not on record. 1t is
the interests Of the community as a
whole that prompts what is herein
written.
The GRAPHIC feels sorry for the
youth of this community-particu'
larry the young boy and girls on the
surrounding farms-that the mono
tony of their daily lives is not occa
sionally broken by some public muse
ment in the town which is their par
ents trading point and a town which
loves much to them.
The boom, bang, fZ of the average
Fourth of July, with its heat, ant
usually its dust and dirt, has small at
fractions for those of mature years
but few there are, when the day j
over, are sorry for any part they tool
in it for the benetil Of those who d.
enjoy it. Anyhow, it gets a man o
woman out of the rut of ones dali,
existence and work on the next day j
undertaken with more Zest and feel
ing.
1t is wholly unnecessary that a larg
amount of money should be raised an
handed over to a few with small re
turn. The main thing IS to secure
two good base ball mines evenly match
ed and between which there is suf1i
Gent rivalry to create widespread in
%terest. This with a good publ
speakec, the usual minor contests an,
a properly conducted ball will serv
every purpose. People get as niue.
enjoyment out OF seeing other peopl
as anything else.
Let Kimball serve notice on tn
whole country that she will put u
one of her old-time cebrations mex
year.
And make good.
