BUILDING OF A PAVILION
.STOCKMEN ARE INTER-
ESTED IN PROJECT
They Will Urge Enterprise Upon
Business Men At the Club Z
Meeting

Many livestock breeders in this
county are planning 10 attend the
meeting of the Mankato Commercial
club next Monday evening, wishing to
meet the business men of the. city and
discuss ways and means OF erecting
a livestock sales pavilion at the fair
grounds. Other Southern Minnesota
towns are building these pavilions,
and they mean much to a town, for
they bring great many sales to the
city, attracting, buyers from long dis
tances and filling the hotels and res
tanrants and bringing business to the
merchants.
Aside from this, however, the OPP
portunity presented for practical CO
operation between city and country
should not be missed. Mankato mer-
chants like to talk CO operation at
their meetings, and now that chance
for CO operation has come it is to be
hoped that they will be Johnny on
the spot
Other Matters of Importance.
Other, matters of importance TO the
city and 70 the. club are TO come up.
The meeting will be held at eight
O'Clock at the city council; chamber.
on the third floor of the, city hall
building There will be no supper at
this time. y 1t is desired that there be
standing ROOM only at this meeting.
The Commercial club does not meet
often, and when 1t does meet it has
matters coming up that should have
the attention of every man in business
in the city2and of every man who has
investments here that he is interFst-
ed in seeing rise in value.
The Proposed Truck Line.
The gentlemen who are proposing
to put in an automobile truck line be-
tween the twin cities and Mankato ex-
pect to be at the club meeting and
present the matter. They do not
want any financial help, all that they
want is to be assured of return loads
on their trucks. In order to illustrate
the ship by truck plan" they will
bring with them 500 feet of reel,
showing the truck line in operation in
the northern part of the state, and
this will be run off at the Grand the
atre just after the club adjourns at
1880, which will be just at the close
of the last theatre performance. The
mahA cement of the Grand theatre is
very kindly donating the use of the
theatre for this purpose. When the
club adjourns at 1890 the members
will go to the Grand where they will
see the pictures. 1t will take fifteen
to run them.

JOHN BARLEYCORN DEAD
HIS LIFE WAS LONG AND SIREN
UOUS
There Were Many MOurners in All
NeighbOrhOOds of the United
States
Obituary of John BarleycOrn

John, son of William and Sarah
Barleycorn, was born in the old coun-
try many years ago, and died in the
United States of America, January
l6, 1919, at midnight.
He was married to Miss Brewry
about one hundred years ago. To this
union several million children were
born, many thousands now in the pen
itentiaries, prisons, almshouses and
hospitals for the insane throughout
the country.
His sickness was of short duration,
as his condition did not become alarm
ing until September %, last year.
Two hundred and five specialists of
the nation gathered to hold a consul
tation, III decided that there was no
hope for him, Sd holding out that the
case was not fatal. The 81 special
lists worked hard for their old friend,
using every means in their power to
prolong his life, but John finally died.
| Before dying he resigned all to the
devil. John had many friends in Penn
sylvania and some especially dear
ones at Harrisburg, who will mourn
his loss like brother.
He had several brothers who died
some time ago, namely: Maine, Kan
sas, West Virgin a, Georgia, Arizona.
District of Columbia and others, who
died from this SAME dread disease,
Prohibition. He made q hard fight
against the disease, but died harG.
| His death has stirred the nation as
no other great man for some time
The old home with the crepe on the
door is so lonely that his children and
friends are weeping with great sor-
row.
John ruined many homes, poisoned
many minds, blighted characters, and
damned souls.-"The fool said in his
heart: There is no Cod"
The funeral will take place Janu-
AIRY 1G. 1920, Many places of bust
ness will be closed in his honor. His
remains will be buried in Memory
cemetery, where he will sleep until
the resurrection morning, when he will
hear the doleful. denunciation: "De-
part from Me. We cursed, into ever
lasting fire, prepared for the devil
and his angels. kindly omit flowers
