The duty Of q man towards h is
own town apropos TO the mail order
business may be summed up some
thing like this; The mau who buys
his goods OF a mail order house and
then expects his uelghbors in Nor
gan to buy goods OF him, or buy
labor OF him, or to buy professional
service Of him, is economically, a
leach. He is sucking industrial
blood out OF the town and gives
none back. We are al, neighbors
industrlally, in this town and the
man who sends away for his goods
Is not one Of US. He is OF another
Industrial system and deserves no
mans support in Morgan. He has
no more right to a standing in the
community than pagan who sends
his money back to China. II this

k-gaS7s1@n now an assured
fact that Morgan will celebrate the
Fourth OF July this year ON u scale
that has never before been approx
mated In this city.
About three weeks ago the city
council appointed u commltte to
perfect arrangements for the festiy-
tiles. The committee lost no time
In carrying out the injunction, for
1t has already made sufficient pro-
gress to assure the success Of the
undertaking.
Immediately sitter they had re-
ceived notice Of their appointment
on the committee the members met
and arranged for various sub.com-
mittees In keeping with what they
deemed the most effective mode Of
procedure.
Among the committees that have
been doing themselves proud In
their work may be mentioned the
committee on finance,
Although some Of the committees
have not submitted formal reports
a. yet, It is understood they have
been making commendable pro-
gress. Every member was chosen
for "a line OF work to which he Is
adapted, and this gives assurance
that Morgan's coming Fourth Of
July celebration will be the most
pretentious affair Of Its kind ever
attempted In Morgan county.
Under the supervision OF the COM
mitteo on decoration the city will
put on gala attire, and nothing will
be left undone that might add TO
this feature of the occasion. And
the parade will be In keeping with
the remainder Of the program. IL
will be led by the marshal and Ids,
and the brass band, and It will con-
tain beautiful floats galore.
Then there will be n program at
the Opera House at lOa. M, consist
ing of music, both vocal and instru-
mental, recitations and spell-blnd-
ing speeches. The speakers have
also been selected because Of their
ability along this line, and they will
make the eagle scream as he never
screamed before. And among the
other notable events Of the day, will
be the sports. 1t this connection It
will suffice to say that the COM
mittee on sports is composed for the
most part Of men who are adept In
dlshing out the real article.

Once more Madison has a thor

tel. The Merchants Hotel threw its
doors open to the public tor dinner
yesterday, and its FIRST meal was
served to a satisfactory number Of
guests,
On the night of January Srd, 1907 /,
the large frame building known
from one end of the State to the
other as The Merchants Hotel at
Madison, was burned to the ground.
At the time Of its destruction it was
filed with guests and many Of them
escaped from the burning building
only with their lives. One guest,
Mr.. Sloan, now OF the Florida
Manufacturing Co., was painfully
burned ia making bis escape from
the building and others were more
or less injured The destruction OF
Che popular hostelry was indeed

from which it took time to recover.

Almost before the ashes of the burnt
building we're cool steps had been
taken for the building OF another
hotel on the site OF the old. The
old Merchants Hotel Co., which
owned the former building, felt
that it should not be required to
erect new building, as the hotel
had never been paying investment,
but offered to organize a new com.
pany for the purpose. Subscriptions
were slow coming in, but finally the
required amount Of $4,000 was
subscribed and the handsome brick
building Of to-day is the result.
