THE FIRST DEFEAT.
Government Bonds Lose Their First Game
To The Quincy Reserves.

The Quincy Reserves came
down from Shelbina Friday,
where they had played two
games with the Shelbiua team
on Wednesday aud Thursday
getting an even break. The
majority of the business houses
closed their stores to enable
their clerks to see the game.
There was a large crowd out
and the boys put up a good
game Of ball. Neither side
scored until the third. Quincy
got run in this inning also one
in the fourth. Monroe also got
a man across the plate in the
fourth. The pitchers then
settled down aud there was
nothing doing until the eighth.
Quincy found Whitmore in the
eighth and Hofer's three base
hit followed by Braut's two bag
ger aud Williams three-base
hit netted the Reserves two
runs and clinched the game.
Monroe rallied in their half of
the eighth and got another
score. This was the last
scoring as neither side could do
anything in the nineth. The
Government Bonds have been
playing good ball this season
winning six out of seven games
played. The Reserves have a
strong team and the Monroe
boys should not feel discouraged
at the result. Following is the
tabulated score:
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1906-07-19

The city council does not look
out it will have the w. G. T. Us
on it's frame. On Davis street
no attention has been paid to a
curb line in making grauitoid
walks. The same thing is &C.
curing on Main street. The
thing is so bad that a man walk
ing home on a starlight night.
would arrive there drunk, not
because of the thirst parlors,
but from a superhumaue effort to
keep on the ever changing lines
of side walk.

Commercial Club,

The Club met or rather did
not meet Tuesday night. A
faithful few was there, but not
a quorum. There was and still
is a very important matter for
the club to take action upon,
but unless a greater interest is
taken nothing can be attained,
no one nor anything can be bet =
tered by the birth of the club.

A Letter From The Big Clothing Store.

The business of the Big Clothing Store to this date
for the Spring and Summer has been large The precent
of gain the period of last year has been
tremely gratifying
Any business it matters not how carefully rum will
accumulate odds and ends and any merchant
difference how much experience he has had will make
mistakes by buying unstable merchandise;
ceptiou to the rule We have hand Of this kind
of merchandise that willing to sacrifice and you
requested to to store where look you in
the face show you the goods and make you the prices
Prices paper too easy for conscience and too
hard fulfill at store and take chances that
way.
We believe that merchandise rightly bought is worth
what il costs with legitimate profit and want it dis
tinctly understood that not willing to acknowledge
