cue Here and He Doesn't
Know What TO Do.

D. l.. Franklin, of the Gould-Gal-
braith Supply Company, has got his
business in a jam. The Labor Day
celebration has caused the trouble and
now Mr.. Franklin has appealed TO
his friend. John Speers, to solve
the problem 1t came about this way.
Mr.. Franklin complied with a request
of the Chamber Of Commerce to send
out a small slip, inviting customers
to attend the Labor Day celebration
and big barbecue here on Monday, in
every letter mailed by the firm the
past two weeks The slips brought
many acknowledgements and, to the
sender's regret in some instances, ac-
ceptances For the past two or three
days the porter at the ould-Galbraith
store has been using a wheelbarrow
to handle the mail from the Postof-
| flee.
! But the real trouble is this. Among
the Supply company's customers are
many negro FARMERS. i ucy SOI lcl-
tiers and incidentally they received in
vitations to attend the big barbecue
here. If there is anything that a
country negro is fond of, it is a big
barbecue where he can shove a juicy
piece of barbecued pork into his
face. Naturally. they have all ac-
| cepted Mr.. Franklin's invitation and
the yhave written him that they are
coming. One old negro wrote him
