Girls Win Contest.

For the past four weeks the mem
bers of the Epworth League of the
Methodist Church have had a men,
bership contest on. The boys were
on one side and the girls on the
other. Each of the past four Sun
days special program was render
ed. On the Fourth of July the
girls had an Independence day pro-
gram and it was certainly hum
mer. The boys have been render
ing war scenes. such as is going on
in the European conflict. During
the campaign the boys added seven
teen new members to the roll and
the girls forty-one. The special
programs they have been putting
on proved to be good drawing
cards as the congregations number
ed lin the neighborhood of 400 on
one or two occasions. Just as soon
as the churches realize that the
church can be a place of entertain
ment as well as worship and pro.
vide entertainments that are inter-
estine as well as uplifting just that
soon will they be able to get larg er
congregations at their meetings.

Weather Against Them.

The Young Ladies Sodality Socie-

past two weeks to hold a lawn
social in the South Park, but have
met with poor success as the wealth
er man seems to be against them.
Last Thursday they had to postpone
on account of the weather and con-
cluded to hold it Tuesday night.
Everything was going nicely and
the day had been exceedingly hot
and the girls were expecting a large
crowd, but just about the time for
the crowd to begin to gather anoth-
er storm made its appearance and
once more put the social out of
commission. The young ladies
have concluded this is a poor
season for socials.

During the past week two boysi were

Purchases Grocery Stock.

On Tuesday a deal was closed
wherein John Medcalf came into
possession of the grocery stock of
j. Adam Shearman. Mr.. Shearman
has been connected with the grocery
business here for some time, the
past few years for himself and be-
fore that with his father. He has
proven himself a good business man
and one generally liked but owing
to ill health he found it advisable
to get out of indoor business and
gives this as reason for selling.
The incoming man, Mr.. Medcalf, is
a young man of sterling quality
and plenty of hustle and there is no
doubt but what he will make a sue.
cess of his venture. The young
man has lived in Monroe City prac-
tically all his life and is well known
both locally and throughout the
county. Here's success to the out
going gentleman in whatever he
may undertake, and success to the
incoming in the grocery business.

BURLINGTON CLEAN UP
Stock Yards in Better Conditions
Than They Have Been for
Some Time.

During the past week the Burlint-
ton got busy and ordered general
house cleaning at the stock yards
Over two car loads of trash and dirt
were taken out and the brick paw
ing of the pens given a thorough
cleaning. The, yards. have been
given a thorough whitewashing
and taking it all in all they are now
in the best of condition.
The Democrat will never be fully
satisfied until they are moved from
so near the center of the town, hut
the clean up is certainly something
to be thankful for.
The Burlington officials are i'm
favor of doing a great deal of civic
improvement in Monroe City and
only ask the encouragement and
help of the citizens 1t is their in
tention to park the entire right.of
way from the depot to the light
plant on both sides of the track.
Part of this is already done and il
makes wonderful improvement
The rest of the work will be done as
soon as the business men adjacent
thereto guarantee to keep the park
in shape after it is fixed.
In the large square back of the
depot, if the city will remove their
light poles the railway will grade
the lot up to a good level and park
it in first class style and provide a
circular driveway that will make
this space a beauty spot.
-' During the.past week they revok-
ed several leases on tracts along the
track and are going to commence a
general overhauling and getting rid
of rubbish of all kinds. Agent
Thiehoff has been, working to this
end for some time and is now a
happy man as he believes is on a
fair road to success in regards
to the beautifyins of the railway
The new depot is not a remote
possibility. 1t is only a question of
time until the Utility commission
will require the Burlington to re-
move all the old outbuilding and
install water works, and to do this
would cause quite an outlay in re-
pairing and fixing over the old de-
pot, and there is not che least
doubt that in preference to throw
.ng good money after bad they
will add enough to the repair bill
% build an entire new and modern
station. When they do this it will
De built to accommodate another
inc, that is a cut off to Moberly.
The Burlington is not going to do
all this by winter but they are not
ar from the starting point. and
when they have erected a nice new
station and have the rieht-of-way
parked you can gamble your last
iollar that the stock yards will be
moved.
Altogether, a Bigger, Better and
Cleaner City is what we want, so
,oost.
