Gentlemen-Wc enclose herewith
two styles of press notices, which we
recommend that you hand to the edi-
tors of the papers published In your
city and ask them to insert them in
their reading columns without
charge.
These press notices are due your
bank from the publishers. They give
the dry goods houses. theaters and
political meetings reading notices
and we are sure that they would be
glad to extend to you the same privi-
lege on the almanac you are about to
distribute. if you will hand them
these notices and ask them to comply
with your wishes.
These notices will be read by 4
few people; of course, not many; but
at the same time this all means ad-
d.tional publicity for your bank and
the more you can get, the better.
Very truly yours,
ALMANAC ADVERTISING AGENCY.

DAY A SUCCESS

Owing to threatening weather
there were not as many as eX-
pected at Morrison's Harvest
Home celebration last Saturday,
but those present were given a
royal welcome.
Nothing was left undone hat
would add to the comfort and
pleasure Of the guests. Every
resident was committee one to
see that the visitors had a 20 d
time, and several of the for er
residens also assisted.
During the previous night
about 400 pounds of the mes
choice cuts of beef, veal and
pork had been r.; s.ed at he
Mt. Morrison hotel under the di-
rection Of j. C. Leyner. Tables
mad been spread in the middle of
the stree in front of the depot
and at ll:OO o clock in the fore
noon Mr.. Leyner, Albert Pike
and Vinton Amos, together with
their assistants, commenced Serv-
ing sandwiches to the multitude.
They were not the little skinny
dried up sandwiches usually
handed out upon such occasions.
No, indeed SX
They were great big nice JUICY
fellows with the meat hanging
over the edges, and after you
had eaten one it cried for more.
Each visitor was greeted with
When you have eaten that come
back and get another one. >"
There was enough for all and
many people remarked that it
was the tlrst barbecue they had
ever attended where there was
plenty to eat.
The program was well arranged
and faithfully carried out. The
parade in the forenoon was an
interesting feature. 1t was led
by Mrs. ingram OF her highly
educated horse; then followed a !
number of cowboys and cowgirls, |
the fancy donkey parade bring
ing up the rear. These little |
animals were Enthusiastically dec
GRATED and they caused much
merriment. :.
The races were very interest
ing and many Of them were quite
novel. Little Eva Morris won
the silver loving cup offered as
first prize in the COW pony race.
The affair was a success and
reflects great credit upon mem
bers OF the committee who had
it in charge. They had no as
sistance from the railway COM
pany and this shows that the
people Of Morrison are capable OF
doing things for themselves.
