The great throng of people which crowded the streets and walks at Cypress and New Orleans Avenue on We'd nesday afternoon from two to three o'clock was a record break CT in the way of Brinkley busi- ness enterptise and push.
 They assembled to witness the drawing fof the fine piano which the Spot Cash and Cash Shoe Store had been advertising to give away to some lucky custom CT.
 A great two hundred pound cylinder had been arranged to receive the numbered coupons and is Messers. Hudson and Brown shoveled them in to be RKxed up, great wonder and as- Punishment was expressed at the vast numbers to be drawn from. The cylinder was begged with large nails and mounted on a platform and a boy turned the cylinder for half an hour.
 The method of determining the winner of the piano was so very fair and open that there was not a single soul present who wasn't altogether pleased with it. When it came to the crowd selecting a child to. draw the tickets from the cylinder Editor Wm. B. Folsom proposed little Miss Margurite Williams who was accepted and in a clever way drew the tickets.
 The first one was 12384, and this won the piano, being held by a young lady present, Miss

Just About Town.

Well, the fun is about to be- gin in earnest in this dear old or rather new Brinkley," as you have very cleverly named it." said a prominent property owner and a wide awake citizen to me Monday. Continuing he said: T have reference to the city election, which this time means more to each and every property owner than in any other wear of the cities entire exist ence This time there is to be a permanent settlement of the light and water Sfranchise and contract and in addition to this the establishment of a sewerage system and the knotty problems of sanitation drainage, enforce ment of side walk and paving ordinances, etc. In fact 1t IS unouestionably THE CRITICAL POINT in Brinkley's history as a city" It is no time for men to play with their prejudices. This is the time for the business gen. erals of Brinkley to show thelr generalship and the ability to leave their own business long enough to get together and de- eide on men of ability to take hold of the reigns of the city government. The wrong man in the harness now may mean the loss of every advantage gained during the remarkable reconstruction of the new Brink lev. and it's up to the long head ed. clean men of the city to get tagether and see to it that Brink lev doesn't slide back on a level with other towns who let a few thoughtless irresponsible men elect just any old pal for mayor because the office pays little. 7
