Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1909-07-08
A GLORIOUS
Third-Fourth That Pleased Visitors
and Citizens Alike.

Saturday, July 3rd, was selected
by H. c. Null for HIS big blow out
or celebration.
His untiring energy and through
ADVERTISING brought the BIGGEST
train loads of people that ever come
to the city.
1t was an ideal day with a good
cool breeze and the farmers, their
daughters and their sweethearts
came to see the NULL celebration
and they were not disappointed for
it was worth the price.
The Sodality band and autos met
the Burlington and Katy trains.
The feast of barbecued meats at,
the North park would have tickeled
the palates of the Romans, and the
speeches by Hon. George Hum
phrey and Hon. J. P. Boyd fairly
scintillated with bright jewels of
thought. wit and humor.
The ball games, Moberly Signals
VS. Shelbina were the really big
drawing cards and worth going
twice the distance to witness.
The morning game was a peach,
ripe, juicy and sweet, for there was
not an expensive error in it. The
score was 1 to 0, made by Shelbina
in the third inning.
While the afternoon game was a
fairly good one, it could not be
compared with the morning game
from any view point. Shelbina
scored | in the third, / in fifth. 2 in
seventh and 2 in ninth innings. The
Signals in the fifth. 3 in seventh
and l in ninth, making 6 to S in
favor of Shelbina
James Rossiter of Quincy, was
the umpire and a wonder A Won
der twice over First because of
accuracy; second, because the grand
stand was so highly pleased with
his work that there was not a kick
coming.
Then came the evening at the
North park which was pleasantly
spent with friends, music and the
fire works.
And tell it not in Gath Carpenter
and several other business men told
us that it was the biggest days bus
inesS they had ever done, and
one of the barns reported the big
geSt days business it had ever done.
The celebration proved a money
maker for everyone but Mr.. Null
who informed US that he was $42.50
in the nine hole. In spite of that
Mr., Null took his loss and settled
his bills like a Dead Game Sport"
so that instead of he being indebt-
ed to the city for favors, the busi-
ness interests are indebted to him
for a record breaking trade.
The crowd Of some 5000 strang-
ers was a nice one, a joyous one, a
well behaved one and one that had
money to pay for what it wanted
and did so.
Not an accident marred the love
ly day and evening.
