PAVING

Do not be deceived in regard
to the talk that the petition
now being circulated will stop
the paving. Within the last
week two articles have appeared
in this paper claiming that the
petition would stop said paving.
This is not the case. The petit
tion in question simply asks the
City COUNSEL 10 assess the City
as a whole for the intersections
of streets and alleys. Also asks
that the district assessed have
a voice in the kind of paving to
be put in. This is done in
neighboring cities and is only
justice. The law states that
this can be done. However if
circumstances in this City pro-
hibit it, then it can be done as
advertised and the petition in
no way asks to stop the paving.
1t is the method of procedure
that we object to. We are in
favor of paving and simply ask
that it be done in a way that is
fair and just to all. Think it
over. Resp't.

The services at the Christian

The services at the Christian
church were record breakers.
Rev. Dow Crewdson, who has
been conducting the meetings
for several weeks, is doing
much good. Rev. Funk, who is
leading the singing, is adding
interest at every meeting, and
has built up a large choir.
Sunday evening the capacity
Of the church was taxed to the
utmost to hold the people; it
was filled from first floor 10
galleries. Rev. Crewdson de-
livered a strong sermon. The
singing was fine, the cornet
and violin adding much to the
interest. MIR. Funk and Miss
Cecil Faith sang a beautiful
duet. At the close of the
meeting nine adult members
were baptized. Those who are
staying away from these meet
ings are the losers. Come out
and hear the sermons, they will
do you good.

The Small Advertiser.

Small retail merchants some-
times become discouraged by
the competition in newspaper
space of larger stores. They
imagine that people do not read
the smaller notices.
Any newspaper man can give
incidents out of his personal
experience showing the con-
trary. A man with a very small
space often tells his story in
such a pertinent, businesslike
conversational way, that read
ers turn to his little ads just as
a financial operator turns to
the stock market.
1t does not take a gift for
saying smart and sharp things
to make this kind of impression.
1t is simply the IDEA of writing
as you talk, saying the things
in advertising that you would
say to a customer, if you had
him before the counter.
A merchant who desires to
try advertising in a small way
should have his notice put near
the same place right along. He
should not try to say too much
in that space. Just a few words
each time, about some one par
ticular thing, is most effective.

At the close of Bible schoo

At the close of Bible school
Sunday morning A. 3. Bessire
in a few we'll chosen words in
behalf of the Bible school, pre-
sented Mr.. j. A. Moore with q
beautiful Bible as a token for
the efficient work he had done
as Supt., of the Bible school for
past two year. Mr.. Moore re-
sponded feeling]y, but cor ing
as such a surprise, he said it was
difficult to say in words what
he felt in his heart. He assur-
ed them it would always be
cherished and counted pre-.
cious for the memories that
clustered around it. Mr.. Moore
is soon to move to Webster
county but would always re-
remember his association with
the members Of the Christian
church here. The best wishes
of the community goes with
him.

Mo. Valley, Feb. 12-To the
people of Mo. Valley, who are
interested in paving: When
the city council took up the
proposition, we spent a con-
siderable length Of time in de-
batting the different conditions
relative, and the conclusion ar
rived at, was that it would not
be wise to pledge the city's re-
sponsibility beyond what is
stated in our resolutions.
The city is limited in their
expenditures and we must con.
fine ourselves to our limitations
If the city assumes the ex-
pense of paying for all cross
connections, the sum would be
so great in addition to other
necessary OUTLAWS, that the ex-
pense in the sum total would
be beyond our limitation, hence
prohibitive.
If the council could see their
way clear to accede to the de-
mand of the present petitions,
! assure you, they would glad
ly do so.
1t is no selfish motive that
has brought about this decision.
The law as it now stands
must have intended that if any
street wanted paving they must
pay for it, and not saddle the
expense on someone else.
If the city council have mis-
taken your desires, and have
started out to do the things you
don't wish done, they have been
misled.
As the curb and gutter Of
last year did not disturb the
business owners very material
ly, we thought it would be a
proper time to shift RESPONSE
bilities. If you are opposed to
paving ask us to do an impos-
sible thing, that we may stop
1t now.
Respectfully,
j. C. Prather.
