Which Kind Of
A Pipe-Smoker
Are You?

There's the man whe doesn't care
what kind of tobacco he smokes in his
pipe just so it holds fire and makes
rings.
And there's the man, minded to
have all there is to smoking, who win
fill his pipe only with tobacco Of real
quality and flavor
The man who insists upon having
quality and flavor in his pipe-tobacco
may have to pay somewhat more for
It nowadays than before the War.
That's true OF Edgeworth and Of good
tobacco in all forms.
But the difference in price a man
pays for good tobacco is too narrow
to influence the judgment Of a pipe
smoker who loves his own brand.
Other things-all things more
in proportion, and he is generally a
tolerant fellow who knows that when
it is time for good tobacco to come
down in price. It will come.

COURT REFUSES TO GRANT
LICENSE FOR POOL HALL

Springfield, March S.-The county
court yesterday refused the applica-
tion of B. Williams for license to
operate a pool hall in Republic, on the
grounds that the court could not over
ride the decision of the municipal
government of Republic, which re-
fused to- grant the license.
Prosecuting Attorney o. j. Page
conferred with the county court and
advised that no license be issued,
since the petition bearing the sigma
lures of 800 citizens of Republic was
sufficient proof that the proposed
business was unpopular with many
taxpayers. Mr.. Page also stated that
since the city council of Republic had
refused to grant a city license that
the county should not issue state
permit, thereby overriding the
decision of self-governing COM
munity.
The churches of Republic organized
the movement to protest the estab-
lishment of a pool hall and it was
stated in the petition that for the past
Is years no such business had been
operated in that community.

LARGE CROWD HERE SALES DAY
Sales are Brisk and Merchants and
Buyers are Generally Satisfied
With Days Business.

The first sales day of the season
was held at Monett Monday and in
spite of threatening weather in the
morning large crowd of people was
in town. The merchants report large
sales and many Of them said it was
the best sales day business they had
ever had.
E. F. SAKE, who advertised sugar
at low figure, sold 1853 sacks on
Monday. Callaway's sold a large
number of mattresses, ON which they
were making special prices. Other
! merchants sold large quantities of
their special bargains, besides making
large sales Of seasonable goods. Many
people were merely docking" and
will return later to buy.
The goods sold at auction brought
good prices, Col. w. H. Snider, being
the auctioneer and E. H. Lauderdale
sales manager.
The advertising committee for
sales day was r. M. Galloway, H. w.
Fly and Charles Galloway.
There was some confusion of goods
offered for sale, in that several mer-
chants advertised sales on the same
goods, which is contrary to the in
tention of sales day as it is not ex-
pected to promote competition on that
day. But this condition will probably
be guarded against in the future.
The Commercial club is back of the
sales day proposition which was in
augurated last year and which has
proved a success from the start.

RESTORING THE OLD NEW
SITE CEMETERY Y

Members of the New Site Baptis!
church southwest of Monet began
last year the task of restoring the
old cemetery, which had been neg,
lected for many years. They have
found that the work of restoration is
very difficult owing to the fact that
the original plot was not divided into
lots in any system.
The eemetery was originally set
aside by the Montgomery and Had
dock families for family buryine
ground. One half of it was supposed
to have been on land owned by each
family, but when a later survey was
made, it was found that all of the
cemetery was east of the dividing line.
The first use of the cemetery was
made long before the Civil War.
No plat was made of the ground
for the first burials and the cemetery
association has had to determine the
location of graves by the memory Of
old settlers and then digging until
the place was found, as many of the
graves had no mark of any kind.
The New Site Baptist church later
bought the tract on which the ceme-
terry was located for burying ground
for it's members. No charge was
made for lots. All member had to
do was to select a~plot and then stake
it out. The graves and lots were
not placed III straight line, but fol-
lowed the fancy of the person who
staked out his lot.
In spite of all this confusion the
cemetery committee has succeeded in
locating all but a few of the old
graves and marks have been placed
on them. A new addition has been
plated and arranged with some
system.
The cemetery association has sue
ceeded in getting the cemetery in fair
condition and will continue the work
until they have the place completely
cleared off and ready for the mower.
The location for the cemetery is ex-
cellent and it will some day be a
place of beauty instead of neglect.

Four things man must do
To make his record true:
To think without confusion-Clearly
To act with honest motive-purely,
To love his fellow man-sincerely;
To trust in God and Heaven-se-
curely.
The result was one Of the best
speeches that we have heard this year.
Mr.. King and Mr.. Capps made speech
