MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS.
Successful Plans to Entertain Visitors
and Attract Trade.

How to attract trade to towns Is
question that interests every business
man. There must be some attraction
for people Of the surrounding country;
some entertainment to please. Many
means have been put in operation by
different towns to bring about the OBJ
jects desired. The people Of the small
er towns in different western states
have inaugurated street carnivals, fall
festivals and similar enterprises to
entertain people from the surrounding
farming sections. These methods
have been universally successful, and
have resulted in bringing trade to the
towns that otherwise would have some
elsewhere. Not alone this, but the
residents Of the rural districts are
brought in contact with the city peo-
pie on a friendly basis and harmonious
relations established that are highly
desirable.
In many towns market days have
been established From early spring
until late in fall one day in the month
is set aside for market day" For this
occasion bands of music are engaged.
balloon ascensions. baseball games,
races and similar attractions are en-
ployed to interest the people. All these
are free, the expense being borne by
the business interests of the town.
The farmers are invited to bring to
the town their horses, cattle, hogs, In
fact. every product that they have for
sale, and the same Is auctioned OF "a
the best advantage. On these market
days all kinds Of articles can be had
at bargain prices Each storekeepel
makes special efforts to offer bargains
and generally the sales are enormous
A few enterprising small towns thai
have adopted the market-day ides
have become noted for many miles
about as lively trade centers and tak'
trade away from territory in the neigh
borhood Of less enterprising towns
The market-day idea Is worthy Of con
sideration by business men in small
towns who desire to pursue an mex
pensive method OF attracting trade t.

Tillman'S Mild Moods.

Feeds on Angel Cake.

Last Sunday afternoon parry
of gentlemen met in Senator Till
mans rooms at the Normandie

versation did not>touch upon the

State rights or any political topic.
Mr.. Tillman directed the talk 10
the shams and humbugs of mod
ern life, particularly among the
class that had recently acquired
great wealth. His remarks, if
reported, would have made an
admirable sermon that could have
been delivered from almost any
pulpit. Mr.. Tillman especially
deplored and condemned the
practice that SO many men had
followed of deserting the partner
of their earlier struggles and
seeking younger women with
whom to share their newly.ac
quired wealth.
"To my mind" said Senator
Tillman, "there is nothing finer
or more beautiful in prose or poe
try than the second stanza of that
gem of Bobbie Burns, John
