Cleaned By Walk Around Town In A
Thoughtful Mood.
We have often wondered why il is
that Yale, with all her improvements,
has no drinking fountain for people.
Many times every day men, with their
wives and children ask the merchant or
his clerks for a drink. In nearly every
case, while the water is cheerfully
handed over, the merchant and his
clerks are very busy and the practice
gets to be nuisance. Wouldn't it be
a good idea, also saving of time and
patience, to construct in convenient
place a good fountain? The cost
fence would be hard to estimate. Let's
see what can be done along this line.
Last sunday evening we attended
the union services held under the
bOughs of the beautiful trees in our
city park. The service was very fine,
the sermon being very appropriate to
the occasion and very impressive Rev.
II. LawrasOn, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal, occupied the platform He
developed an excellent sermon from
the subject. lie spoke of the fitness of
" orshipping the Almighty under such
a canopy OF His handwork He men
toned the various characteristics of
the different trees. how each one is UNI
like to the others and how well defined
the dissimilarity was.
Everyone greatly appreciated Rev.
LawrasOn's fit words and all went away
feeling repaid for having gone to the
grove
1t was good to see Methodist Episco-
pal sitting next to Presbyterian, Metho-
dist Protestant To Free Methodist and
members of the other denominations
mingling freely, forgetting religious
differences and intent on the one thing,
that of worshipping God This is as it
should be, and we think everyone feels
the better for these union services of
all denominations.
But one thing was lacking i'm the
evenings service. When it came to
singing there was a something which
was not present. We believe that a
choir would fill in very accep tably.
There was no leader in the singing and
everyone seemed little afraid to lead
out. Why not organize a choir for
these services and all the hymns will
be sung up on time and everyone will
be singing the same verses? A little
work by the Ministerial Association
will do a great deal of good.
Yale is getting to be one of the best
trading points of its size in the state.
This state of affairs is largely due TO the
fact that our merchants are wide awake,
up-tO-the minute men, who run the
cleanest and most up-to-date stores
to be found around. Our Saturday
night crowds are ever increasing and
strangers who happen to be here on
these evenings all speak of the great
who throng our streets.
This place is great trading center
for p ople living within radius of five
miles OF here. Not only do the citizens
of this city maintain their loyalty to To- |
cal merchants by buying at home, but !
the farmers for many miles around are |
fast realizing that only first class goods |
are handled by Yale merchants and |
consequently come here to shop. Yale |
are of the solid. substantial |
kind. They are good business men and
the farmers have learned that the |
guarantee which goes with every pur- !
chase will be kept TO the letter.
If you have not been i'm the habit Of I
trading with Yale firms, "get the habit"
and you will be greatly benefited there
by. While in Detroit life may be
worth living" yet Yale will hold its
own IN comparison with any city of its
size.
