MET LAST NIGHT
4 Coed Number Of The Business
Msa and Faru.ers il Con-
osseial Club Rooas.

After some talk the meeting
was called to order and Richard
Law was elected as Chairman and
Chas. Petersen for Secretary. 1t
was then in order to give a defin-
ite idea as to what the real pur-
pose for the call. The suggestion
was to have a celebration to last
two or three days good horse rae
ing, base ball games and plenty
of free attractions, such as a good
flight by an areoplane, and un-
doubtedly this will bring a good
crowd.
The next thing that was on the
program was in regard to financ-
ing such a proposition. If the
proper finances can not be secured
the program will have to be cut
to a certain extent. In regard to
exhibits of any kind, it was
thought by the majority present
that not having any floral or ex-
hibit hall at the fair grounds that
this feature he dropped, owing to
the late start and nobody to ham
die the proposition properly.
1t then being a question of the
funds, finance committee was
nominated. u. N. Cleveland I,
Geo. Reed and G. s. LaSelle sig
nified their willingness and will
visit you today or tomorrow and
at an adjourned meeting tomor-
row night will give report.
The dates will then be set and
work in real earnest will 60 for
ward. Be sure that when these
men visit you, they receive your
greatest support, for'it will mean
lot in the way Of free attrac-
tions, as to get an aeroplane here
it will take a few hundred dollars
and for real horse races, a good
purse is the only drawing card.
Let us all be present at Friday
nights meeting and if the crowd
is too large we will yo to the
court house. AS this is a matter
we are all interested in let us
HELP all we can and it will un-
doubtedly be successful.

the Score II 70 ;.

wen IL happened out al River
side park before one of the largest
crowds of the season and it was a
good one despite the score of 12
to 3 i'll favor of the visiting play
ers.
OF course they all called it an
Oshkosh team, but when a sum.
ary was INDUCED in it was found
that only four players were on
hand from Oshkosh, while the
other five hailed from numerous
towns. Their pitcher who was
no other than DUSTY" Rhodes
late Western League pitcher at
Omaha, Harrington from Ogalal-
la behind the bat. While Frost,
Moore and Wheeler hailed from
various other towns as far away
as Hyannis, Neb.
By Oshkosh winning this game
it evened matters up trife as
two weeks ago Julesburg journey.
ed over to that place and came
back home with the laurels at a
much larger score than Sundays
contest, so they were in a way
justified ire winning this time.
The only regret Julesburg has is
that it cost the live ones at Osh-
kosh quite piece of change to
turn this trick by farming in tai
ent.
The score being in their favor
of course was another regret but
taken all in all a nicer cleaner
game of baseball could not have
been pulled off before a better
crowd. On the 2lst of Septeem-
we expact to 60 over to Oshkosh
and play them again it will be the
second day Of their race meet and
the purse will he worth travelling
over there OF course more will
go to the winner, which we are in
the hopes of bringing back, and
this will no doubt get quite a good
ly number of fans along as it will
be on Thursday.
1t didn't look 80 bad at first
Sunday, as at no time did they
get much, but because Terey was
not feeling right after pitching
two innings, allowing only one
score, Twomey was then sent to
the mou,d d and in five innings
allowed 7 scores and w. Law clos
ed with the last two innings and
they seemed to like his curves as
they stepped in front oftwo, three
errors and two singles netted them
another four scores, total being
twelve. Terry struck-out one,
Twomey seven, and Law one for
total of nine, while d. Rhodes
secured total of fourteen.
When Julesburg scored W. Law
led off with a single, Harrison
sacrificed, Johnson struck-out
Smelser was hit on the arm and
got on, C. Law got on by an error
on the second sacker, then Pool
followed with two base hit which
cleaned the bases, Stevenson next
up retired the side by tanning
On several other occasions it look-
ed as if we were going to score
but luck broke for the visitors in
the way of nabbing fouls and safe
ones.
In all we have no kick coming
but Oshkosh thought they did
when w. o. Carson who held the
indicator made several close de-
cisions adverse to the minds of
the visitors and little did they
realize now near the game was for
feited, because if any jumps will
stay by a decision, Carson will.

ELECTRIC SIGN
New sign = Placed at Cssnsg q
City Park-0usinsss Diroet-
cry Thsro-upoa

A new electric sign was IN
stalled at the northeast corner of
the city park last Friday afternoon
and that night was illuminated
for the first time. Our merchants
are pretty we'll represented with
advertisements on il and spent
their perfectly g"'d money to an
outside individual for the priv
ilege. We admire the progress
siveness shown by our merchants
in wanting toadvertise their places
of business to the public, and hope
the same spirit will continue, but
we doubt whether this kind of ad-
vertising will bring them the de-
sired results. There il no argu-
ment against the fact that adver-
tising is the pathfinder of increas-
ed business and that to advertise
in the right way will build up
any establishment, large or small.
The Grit-Advocale wishes to an
nounce that the merchants of
Julesburg will get the best of re-
suits by advertising through its
columns and we are ready at any
time to assist yon in this matter.
We are residents of this city and
intend to spend our money with
you and when you spend your
money with US, you are assured
that you are patronizing home in
dustry. A good newspaper is an
important factor for town, but
it must have the undivided sup
port of the merchants in bust
ness way. We are going to devote
considerable space in the next
year in ad vertising Julesburg and
Sedgwick county and do not ex-
pect to receive cent in direct
compensation for this service, but
do hope to have the hearty cooper
alton of all in our efforts. This
is the opportune time to start
that advertising campaign which
you have delayed. 1t is bad bust
ness for a merchant to say that
he hasn't time to prepare an ad-
vertisment. He should give this
matter as much Of his time as any
other important department of
his business. Let your customers
know that you want their busi-
ness and that you are willing to
show them why you should re-
ceive it. Make it an advantage
for the farmer to come here in
steap of elsewhere. Don't be con-
tent with merely letting what
business you have been doing, be
the result, but let's start CAM
paign that will make them all sit
up and take notice. The Grit t-Ad-
vocate is interested in helping you
increase your sales and you will
find us ever ready to assist you in
this matter. There never was a
time in the history of Sedg-
wick county when crop conditions
were better and we are having
prosperous times. You are en-
titled to your share of the busi-
ness that is going to be done
why not get busy. Advertise
through the columns of the Grit
Advocate. We are sure that you
will be benefited thereby. We
are adding new readers to our
list every day and are endeavor-
ing to give the patrons of this pa
per creditable newspaper. We
invite you to cooperate with us in
making the Grit-Advocate paper
that you will be proud of. A Wis.,
