JEWELLERS
TAKE OUR TOWN

The big carnival held here OH Fri
day and Saturday Of last week was a
phenomenal success. Between SOC
and one thousand persons were in at
tendance, and while those in charge OF
the finances have not as yet had
time to check up the results, it is
conservatively estimated that the net
profits for the Library fund will be
close to Sl,GG0. Plans are already in
the making to have this regular
event. to be held at least annually
perhaps oftener. While every one Of
the numerous attractions was the pro
duet Of local talent, thcy provided
a higher class OF entertainment than
the average travelling carnival. and
the money spent not only remains
in the community but is put to most
beneficial use. 4 meeting of the com
mittces is to be held at the Farm Blu
rcau office tonight and accurate deter
mination Of the profits OF the affair
will lc made.

A course Of Journalism is being planned at the Y. M C. A., which will begin next Thursday afternoon. This course, although mainly for High school boys, is open to all who desire to take advantage of it.

The use of super fuous words. concealng the real story under lengthy introductions which do not tell anything, and other technical matters which everyone should know rega rdless of their vocation in life. will be emphasized.
