chairman, will report to the edu-

SUNDAY ICE RESOLUTION
The Pastors Association in
session Monday, June 10, 1912.
passed the following resolution:
Resolved, that since the ice
factory and distributors of the
town have expressed their desire
for a day of rest. and are willing
to make late deliveries on Satur-
day afternoon, we recommend to
the people Of our town that they
purchase their ice for Sunday on
Saturday. In so doing we shall
the better keep the Lords day
ourselves and also make it less
difficult for our follow man. -
Signed by Pastors of Big
Springs.
We are of the opinion that
most any ice man would APP
preciate day of rest ana 1t
is very little trouble if any to
leave enough ice at one time
for two days. We should not
buy ice on Sunday or any other
article and very few of us
would think of buying flour or
groceries ofany kind on Sunday.
We would sign a petition to give
the ice man rest on Sunday.
Buy what you need Saturday
evening. Why not do this?
