SQUIRE PIGG ENTERTAINS

Squire David H. Pigg entertained
number of his friends at another
of his popular birthday parties" at
O'Neill's restaurant in the Hotel
Warden Thursday evening of last
week.
Mr.. Pigg is the Newark representa-
tive of the Standard Secrities Com
panv of GAINESVILLE, and during the
years he has so successfully filled thar
position he has handled thousands and
thousands of dollars worth Of high
class securities and greatly increased
the business of the company in this
vicinity.
The "old fashioned chicken dinner"
was preceded by the invocation by
Rev. L. P. Franklin, and during its
progress was entertained by the
Alta Fields Stoltze orchestra.
Chas. w. Montgomery acted as
POSTMASTER during the earlier part of
the program, but being unable to re-
main until the close his position was
later filled BY James r. Fitzgibbon.
The first speaker was DR.. Williams,
of Granville, who for ten minutes en-
tertained his hearers with a splendid
extemporaneous speech which he an
nounced as Variety" And his talk
certainly justified its name, as it
covered a multitudinous array Of sub
iects. DR.. Williams is fluent talker
and was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause,
Mr.. George X. Browning, president
of the Securities Company, was next
introduced. He first stated that he
wished to correct a mistaken idea
that his company was a GAINESVILLE
institution onlv. as Licking-Muskir-
gum company would best convex its
real nature, as there were many
thousands of Newark and Licking
county dollars invested in the Stan
dard Securities Co. He further stated
that there had never yet been dol
lar lost in any of the stocks or bonds
that had been recommended bv the
Standard, which had done over mil
lion dollar business in 1922. He was
greatly gratifed to know that his
company enjoyed the confidence of
the community and hoped to merit
its continuance. He advised that
everybody should so invest the money
thew earned that they might eniov an
| income when old age overlook them
and their earning ability came to an
end. He closed by inviting all New
ark people, when thev visited the
smaller citv of GAINESVILLE, to call at
the Standard Securities Co. head
quarters, where the latch string was
ever on the outside and hearty
welcome in waiting.
After some appropriate remarks
bv Mr.. Fitzgibbon the dinner was
brought to close and the guests de
narted all honing that the hospitable
"Dave" would retain their names on
the invitation list for the 1924
blowout.

New Estimate on Subways

The revised estimate on the cost OF
the long delayed subways was an
nounced at council meeting Monday
evening. That of city engineers
Wells of Newark, and Simpson OF
Columbus, being $437,O29, while the
figures of the railway companies are
slightly larger. The city has on hanc
S240,000, the amount raised by the
sale of bonds for that purpose many
years ago, which is something over
half the amount of the minimum cost
of the revised estimate.

DINNER PAIL EPICS
By Bill LLOYD

l see thev's making quite a fuss
about the booze on the Bosphorus.
The Turk, who is Mohammedan, does
never drink nor rush the can, because
the prophet wuz the guy who said
his followers should be dry. A lotta
women Turks may get, but hell is
sure if they go wet. The prophet
hated every still as much as our own
grape juice Bill.
And now the Turkish government
set out to put good deep dent in
old King Booze, by exhibition of
stringent laws on prohibition, which
otta please our Puritans who are great
prohibition fans.
But here is where the mouse creeps
in, about which there is so much din.
The allies get some revenues from off
the sale of Turkish booze, and so ac-
cumulate some shillings, depending
on the beer cans filings. They's in
position to cash in upon the high
balls and sloe gin. And so they tell
the Turk to stop his plan to close the
liquor shop.
The heather Turk is some. amazed
at such a show of Christian ways.
HeH COIle AfHlenldnS, OnflSClan pets,
and say they are the we'll known vets,
at which the prohibition aims, for
they are up in selling games that
they and fellow Christian Greeks are
just the ones the booze hound seeks,
when Turkish heat is at its worst and
Christian men would quench their
thirst. The Turk amt hurt at all
they think, for he's a heather and
don't drink, nor sells the stuff in the
kaffays, but follows old Mahomet's
ways.
The Turk and me is both confoudec
to see Christian vice compounded
against the infdel's poor will, to put
the coin in Christian till. | almost
fear Armenians amt the sole re.
