Let Us Forget.

The Band boys got the carni-
val and yet they are knocking. "
The Park manager declares the
carnival ruined him. The citi-
zens generally say the carnival
is demoralizing. The whisky peo-
pie are still doing business and
are not saying anything. The
Second Avenue people claim that
the Third Avenue grafters stole
the entire carnival, had monop-
oily of their own, and gobbled up
all there was in sight. The car
nival people themselves proclaim
that they got nothing and left all
their wealth IN our city, so thsre
you are. Sohn the Third Avenue
merchant is about the only salts
fled man we have met, he sold
fourteen suits of clothing and
Mher things, and now declares
that Third Avenue this city is
fast becoming a rival of Broad
way, NV York, SO far as pusi-
ness is concerned. Such is the
way of the carnival which has
come and gone. Let us forget.

is an exception whose signifi-

easily prove fatal. When the time

thousands of voters in this State,

will be not of Taft, or of Wilson,
or of Harmon, but of Tammany!

November because they were
tired of the Republican tariff pol
icy, or disliked Roosevelt, or

Ice Scarcity.

There has been an ice scarcity
in the city.of Williamson as we'll
as in other places. There is
really no necessity for this state
of affairs in this city. 1t is more
money to those interested in the
ice business here to improve ex-
listing conditions quickly and pre-
pare for better service. This
will be TO the best interest Of
those interested in the ice BUSH
ness here in the future as well as
rhe public. We should advise
early action in this matter pre-
paratory to the next heated sea-
son. There are good reasons for
a greater capacity in the output
of ice and the public demands
that the supply be increased.

Hatfield is erecting another large
building somewhat on the order Of the
Buskirk building and will be a big

structures are of brick and are built
as near fire-proof as possible and will

Just Ain Example for Illustration,

When merchant hears Of Mrs.
Jones buying d few things from
the mail order house in the far
away big city he pei mits a howl
to escape him. He characterizes
Mrs. Jones as bad neigh Dor and
asks the surrounding space what
he is paying taxes for if it is to
help his neighbors bolster up
those condemned mail order con-
Germs. He remarks to the store
keeper next door that there
should be law passed compell-
ing people to spend their money
in the community in which they
make it.
Five minutes after he has ex-
hausted himself in his TRADE.
against the iniquity of Mrs.
Jones buying her goods away
from home he is paving close at
tention to salesman who is sell
ing advertising matter gotten
out BY New York house.
What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander. If it is a
crime for Mrs. Jones to spend her
money out of town, it is worse
for a merchant to buy advertise
ing from a schemer away from
home. Advertise at home and
buy your goods at home, IS the
only method by which you can
become prosperous.

KEEP YOUR MONEY AT HOME.

for Our Board Of Trade to
Look Into This Natter.

We are sending hundreds of
dollars out Of Williamson every
week for every imaginable thing
that we should keep here at
home if we want to grew more
prosperous. Think it over and
you will find that we are sending
away for large number of the
necessities Of life which we could
could keep here if we would only
use the necessary enterprise to
make them here in our midst and
keep our money circulating at
home. It is hardly necessary to
enumerate. but it is for every
thing that we are ordering out of
town. 1t is for the things you
eat and wear in many instances.
Let our Board of Trade think
over these matters.

Williamson Military Bands Thanks.

| We wish to thank the Board of Trad,
and the public in general for the fine
support they gave us during the weel
Of our carnival Al town that wants Il
be on the map and up-to-date, such as
our city has the facilities to be, should
have first-class band. We have al
last succeeded in getting one of this
kind, but the people do not seem to APP
tpreciate it.
4 We were at great expense in Sc
curing the carnival, and as we get nc
support from the city, we concluded we
would try to pull ourselves through
without it, until some of those money
grafters, eagle squeezers and tight
wads could awaken to the fact that
they need a good band in thriving
city such as Williamson. The money
which we expected to derive from the
proceeds Of the carnival was to pur-
chase new uniforms and erect band
stand in the city where we could give
public concerts twice weekly during
the summer months, but as 1t is, we
are down and out, all on the account
of lot of old fogies and knockers who
think it hurts the town to have a car
nival in it, but we can give you the
proof that il helped instead of hurting.
It helped the Royal Baking Co. BY
causing them to bake 1000 buns and
250o 1oaves of bread extra. It helped
the restaurants $1S5.00 per day; it
helped J. "A. Cline to the largest BUSH
ness he has had in two years; it
crowded the City saloons from the be
ginning of the week to the end. 1t
helped the Sohn clothing store by SELL
ing fourteen suits to the carnival peo-
pie alone; it helped the fruit stores by
keeping them busy from early morn
until late at night; it helped J. Lewis
& Co. in the way of selling goodly
number of carnival ladies goods; it
helped the Peoples Friend (Joe) to a
large increase in shoe sales and cloth
ing; also the Brown Department Store.
It helped Mike Abraham, also the
drug stores to a much larger business,
and the banks were helped by larger
deposits.
What now do the people Of William
son want in a bowl of soup for a
nickle? The carnival people left at
: ia. +
least $1,000 here, in the way Of buying
clothing and paying the high prices
for rooms and board.
We give you below a few facts and
figures, and we have the statistics to
prove them. Our total receipts for the
band were 1922 .35. Total expendi-
lures, $274.3o. Amount for band,
$3.50 Enough money to support a
band in Williamson for thousand
years. q
Now, if the knockers will lay down
their hammers and join the Boosters
Club, lets see if it will not be a great
deal better.
In conclusion, we wish to extend our
thanks to His Honor, Mayor Pinson,
and the Honorable Councilmen Of our
city for the many favors shown us,
men who believe in favoring an organ
ization that will add prestige to any
up-to-date and civilized city.
