Last Saturday was the big day
in Selmer and people were here
from sll sections of the county,
and all seemed to enjoy the day.
First Monday in Selmer was
not the cause of an extra large
crowd coming to town ------ The
additions to the Selmer college
building and repair work are now
under way and will probably be
finished by the last of September
- Humorously inclined cores
pondents to the Independent are
not desired. We try to publish
the news, but the funny stuff"
we leave out We hear lots
of suggestions as to where the
good roads should go, but when
this actual routing is done, let's
all be satisfied, for to have good
roads will benefit everyone
THE picnics and barbecues
have been going on everywhere.
o. We would like to publish all
obituaries and like articles free
of charge, but this we can not
do, for to meet the increased ex-
penses of running the paper, it
is absolutely necessary to charge
for everything except items of
news 1880 Why do the town Of
ticials sit idly by and let violations
of the speed and cut-out laws oc-
cur every hour in the day? This
non-enforcement of these laws
will result in some disaster, and
the people of Selmer would do
we'll to demand that this matter
be looked after right now ------l
THE Selmer baseball team is
not playing winning ball now.
We have been "swamped"
with job work for several weeks,
a shortage of efficient printers,
a broken cylinder press and one
or two other handicaps, but by |
putting in overtime. we will get
caught up with the rush some
time before long ------ The light |
plant has ceased to function; the
town will have no gin, but the
merchants of Selmer know who
to buy from, and it isn't from
the fellow who tries to enrich
himself at their expense, either.
