"My Best Christmas" Says Man

NEW YORK, Dec. 31-"I never spent
happier Christmas in my life. In fact

D OLE Full DAY s

On doleful days when trade is slack,
the spineless merchant cries, "Alack!-
there's nothing doing in the town, so |
might as well sit down, and think blue,
moldy thought and swear, and talk of
grave yards and despair. That is the worst"
he sizes in woe, "about these holidays, you
know. Before they come we sell lot, the
business then sure hits the spot, but when
they're gone there is a slump, and trade
Just travels to the dump. And SO we lose
the coin we made when we enjoyed a
hustling trade; and that is why with weary
tread seek the sink to soak my head,and
that is why sigh and howl and murmur
like poisoned owl, ard wish while sit
ting here forlorn, had died ere was
born"
That is the way one dealer talks, W bile
vainly waiting for the rocks, but up the
streets a little way.you'll find another kind
of jay. He says, "The Christmas rush is
done, the people blew in lois OF mon for
squeaking dolls and rubber pigs. and cur
leycus and .hinamyjigs They blew their
mon for fancy toys to please the little girls
and boys, and for a time they'll buy the
things that they must haze, by jings"
Around tie store shoots Mr.. Jay, and
puts the limerick things away, and digs
up things the people need the whole year
round-the standard feed, the mits and
muffs and furbelows, the Goldfish balls and
things like those. He sits him down and
writes like mad, and takes the plinter man
an sd-and puts in bargain figures galore
to made the people hunt his store; and
when patron Genes along, Jay has
no tale Of wrong, no mournful legend of
despair . cobweb cleaning in his hair,
no sample tears are on dis lay-so people
trade with Brother Jay.
To get the biz when trade is slack, you
must be wise, to get your valuable BUSH
ness back. you'll have to advertise. To
make things hum and restore order, you'll
have to use the Times Recorder.
Apologies to nobody.

NEW YEAR WILL
BRING CONFIDENCE
THROUGHOUT DIXIE

COLUMBUS, Ca, Dec. 31-The In.
dustrial Index says in it's issue for
this week:
"The evidence of business improve.
ment and the promises of great pros
perity in the immediate future are so
substantial that the beginning of the
New Year will be marked by conf
dence which would be notable even
under normal conditions.
1T has been several weeks since the
business depression caused by the war
| in Europe reached its lowest point,
and gradual improvement was be
gun. Though the improvement has not
been rapid, it has been unceasing, and
now the evidences of 1t are thoroughly
apparent.
"One of the most satisfactory and
substantial features of this evidence is
the resumption of operations on full
time Of manufacturing establishments
that have been running on short time,
and the resumption of operations by
some Industrial plants that have been
closed. In some instances manufac-
turing plants are being operated ov-
ertime to fill the orders for their pro-
ducts.
1.-THE expectation of cotton continues
to increase. There is improvement in
the lumber trade Business was better
just prior to Christmas holidays than
was expected, and it is reported that
this business was fully up to normal
years in some cities of the Southeast.
"Buslless men are gratified and en-
couraged t,'at now, after the worst has
/ long since passed, conditions are not
so bad as they had feared, and they are
looking to the future with firm conf
dence.
Florida has broken all records for a
week in the amount of citrus fruit
shipped, Savannah's exports for a
week were third in value for the cities
of the Atlantic seaboard. Receipts of
cotton at Savannah on December %
established new high record there
for day this season. Several million
feet of crossties are being shipped to
Eastern ports of this country through
the port of Pensacola, Fla. Large sums
are being disbursed in the payment of
dividends by banks, Industrial estab-
lishments and other business institu-
tons. A new cotton mill is to be plac-
ed in operation at Alexander City, Ala,
and plant at Brunswick, Ca, which
gives employment to more than two
hundred people will resume operation.
Bank clearings and postoffice receipts
at Birmingham show increases as com
pared with last year.
Among the items of construction
work to be done, as reported this week
are:
| Apartment house, Atlanta, Ga. !;
bank building, Valrico, Fla; bridges,
Augusta, Ca, and Jacksonville, Fla;
hotel building, st. Augustine, Fla;
factory buildings, Homestead, Fla, and
Union Springs, Ala; roads, Lamar
county, Ala, and Quitman county,
Georgia; arrangements are being per-
fected for erection of a city hall at
Barlow Fla, and bids have been open
ed for erection of hotel building at

EVANGELIST SUNDAYS
CAMPAIGN EXPENSIVE

Billy Sunday the wonderful evan
gelst who il is expected will hold
series of meetings in Grand Rapids
next year closed his campaign against
sin and in favor of applied Christianity
in Philadelphia recently.
The campaign in that city cost
$15O,655.65 or nearly 1885 convert,
according TO the financial statement
published by the committee in charge.
This sum includes, according to the
statement, SS1,1S4.14 paid for build
ing the tabernacle and in actual ex-
penses, s16,224.17, distributed among
various local charities, and the thank
Offering of s53,246.s0 given to Billy
Sunday.
The number Of registered converts
given in the report is approximately
$4,000. The committee estimates that
upwards of 1000, 900 persons attended
the tabernacle meetings.
Mr.. Sunday certainly possesses
great drawing qualities in cash, con-
verts and crowds.

In order 10 arrive at an approximate
cost of paving this TO each individual
tax payer we have assumed that a
brick paving such as we would re-
quire here would cost 800 per square
yard, which figure is one submitted by
two different engineers as being the
highest probable cost.
This would give an expense to the
scity for their share OF $24,235. As
Stunning that this work is done by is
suing 10 year bonds and averaging the
interest for a period of 10 years il
would mean an expenditure per year
Of approximately s3,023 for the city's
share this amount to be assessed
against the general tax roll. This is
an amount slightly under 500 for
each $1,000 of assessed valuation to
the property owner.
Taking for an example a small home
owner who is assessed at the present
time for $1,000, his entire expense at
the very highest figure, toward the
cost Of eleven blocks of paving would
be $1.20 per year.
ON arriving at the interest charge
we have averaged it, covering a per-
iod of 10 years. The first few years
the expense would be "A few cents in
excess Of $1.20 and the last few years
il would be a few cents less
A careful review of the tax roll
shows that the manufacturing corpor-
atoms in our city are assessed for
more than one-third of the entire
valuation. Thus the big Industrial
concerns will be paying one
third of the city's share of the ex-
pense. The owners of the property
abutting on the pavement will pay
nearly another third so that the home
owner in-the residence district who is
not directly interested or benefited by
the pavement other than through the
natural pride in ones home town, pays
only one-third of the city's portion of
the expense or approximately $4,000.
II hardly seems az if il can be pos
sible that in our city there are men
not broad enough to be willing TO pay
such a small amount as $l.00 per
thousand on their assessed valuation
toward making our little city the most
attractive of any in the state.
AS it stands to-day our buildings
and general improvements above the
sidewalk line are superior to anything
one can see In uay lFdNel Dul from
sidewalk line down ii is hard TO locate
one equally as bad.
In the event of a decision being
reached to use the concrete in place
of brick saving of Approximately
25 per cent per square yard will be
made and a like reduction naturally
in the expense per thousand dollars
of assessed valuation TO the tax payer.
At the same time that the pavement
is laid the proper sewers will be put
in to take care OF the storm water In
opinion of competent engineers the
present sewer. with a little repair
work which will be done along with
the building of the pavement will be
sufficiently large to take care Of the
sewage from the houses. One or two
of the present man holes would have
to be repaired and the sewer cleaned
of the sand and debris This will
probably cost less than a hundred dol
lars. 1t is the expectation TO have
everything below ground in first class
condition before the pavement is laid
