NELSON AND M'FARLAND SIGNED
Battling Champion TO Hook Up with
Packy Very Soon.

Packy Very Soon.
NEW YORK. Oct. 3.-There is reason to
believe that Jim" Coffroth has signed
Battling Nelson" and 'Packey" McFar-
land, the Chicago lightweight. for a long
say the boys VIII meet on Thanksgiving
DAY. but it Is more likely the date will be
New Years day. No doubt Mcfarland
would be only too glad to get a chance at
the, champion just as soon as possible, but
Nelson is tied up with theatrical contracts
for months, and it isn't likely that so wise
a manager as Willis Britt would cancel
these contracts to allow Nelson to box
Mcfarland, even. for a big purse.
Britt knows null well that he can get
Nelson signed with Mcfarland, or any
lightweight in the country, at any time,
and for a big purse, and he is willing to
have Nelson make some money in the
theatrical business before he again sends
him into the ring. In the negotiations be-
tween Coffroth and Nelson, Mcfarland, It
is said, has had no say, simply because it
is known that Mac" will agree to any
reasonable terms. If there is any trouble
In getting the boys together it will doubt
less be over the number Of rounds to be
boxed. Nelson will insist on a forty-flve-
round contest, and he is Justly entitled to
make such a demand. He Is not short
distance boxer. Mcfarland is and will no
doubt try to bring the bout down to twenty
rounds at least. on past performances
Nelson should nave little trouble in win
ming from Mcfarland.

will get it for you. When you patro-
nize home you help the town and the
people who live in it. The mail
order business and the great depart
ment stores of our larger cities may
offer every inducement to you but
before giving in to your eager desire
to save two or three cents on an ar
ticle, stop and think moment. Who
helps you and keeps up community
interest? Who helps keep up town
improvements? Is it the city mer-
chant? How much do they give
toward better steets and keeping up
our churches? Better pay tive or
three cents more at home and have
your money put IN circulation here
than send away for an article and
pay expressage or freight to get it
here. Buying at home not enly bene-
fits you but helps the merchant and
indirectly the town in general.
Money put in circulation here should
stay here. Its power is great for
municipal development. Smyrna
merchants are as wide awake as city
merchants and if you make your
wants known they are as ready anC
