town?
But this Is just what we must expect If we keep sending our dollars to
the mail order houses, for it is only the business of the town that makes
the town possible! ,
When we send practically all of our business to the mall order houses In
the cities there will no longer be a necessity for, or a reason for, a town here,
j It all resolves itself into the question: SHALL WE HAVE A PROSPER
OUS TOWN.' WTTH GOOD LOCAL BUSINESS, GOOD REAL ESTATE
VALUES, GOOD WAGES AND GOOD MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT, OR
SHALL. WrE HAVE A DEAD TOWN, WITH PIGS ROOTING IN THE PRIN
CIPAL STREETS, STORE BUILDINGS EMPTY AND WITH "FOR SALE
SIGNS HUNG UP, NO LIGHTS AND NO FIRE PROTECTION.
IT ALL RESTS WITH US. WE ARE THE ONES TO DECTOE.
Common sense and good Judgment tell as to protect our own interests.
If we don't who will?
What can we expect from the mail order houses after they shall have
received our money and the local storekeepers have been put out of the run
ning? Shall we expect help and assistance from the mail order monopoly?
We all know that the mail order houses do not pay any. of our local
taxes. They do not support our schools, or churches or help to pay for our
Mghtlng the streets or for our Are department -
z Every dollar spent at home means added wealth, added prosperity, added
real estate values and added facilities of all kinds.
Every dollar sent to the mail order houses means more unfair competi
tion for our storekeepers and leas taxes toward the support of our com
munity. Which do we prefer? We must make the decision. Are we . for or
against our community? ' ,
LET'S MAKE IT A LIVE TOWN BY KEEPING OUR MONEY IN CIRJ
CULATION AMONG OUR OWN BU8TNESS MEN.

tie repairing. Now. I will give other
reasons for not agreeing with my as
sociates on the board:
1st. I believe that two-thirds of
the stockholders who have the money
to pay' would view it as I do, and re
pair our present board.
2nd. We could not pay the first
payment of one-third before- Decem
ber and if we had traded now it would
all have been due then, with only one
third on hand.
3rd. Because this is, the way I run
my own finances and the way we econ
omized and paid the company out of
debt under the old board, by not buy
ing anything we could do without (and
we-did it without a dissenting voice.)
4th. I will not be a candidate for re
election as secretary, having served
for four years, and don't-want to vote
a debt on you all on the eve of retir
ing from office.
5th. I was appointed secretary four
years ago over my psotest by my
fsiend, T. B. Jackson, to help lead the
company out of the deep wilderness
of debt to the amount of about $1,500,
end by the heroic help of the entire
board of directors and the subscribers, '
and by s'nging notes to the amount
of $1,000 and lending the company
over $300 we landed her out of debt,
and I take pride in returning her 1
without any debts to the next board
and secretary. And further, if we,
buy a :iw switchboard now and the
president and s ccretasy sign a compa
ny note w? would have to borrow all
the money to nay for it, and lead in
signing notes like we did before and
become responsible. If we who bought
did not sign the notes who would?
No one: and I after 'a siege of three "
veais of tiis note signing think tnat I
have done my full share, and I shall
leave the case to the next board and
secretary. '
Now, these are the reasons for me,
as secretary, not agreeing with the
rest of the board, and as I held th'e,
power as secretarv to asree and sien
a note and put the company in debt
$800, or to refuse to sign' it and keep
you out or dent, I chose the latter,
which' assures you against assess
ments. . I could not conscientiously
agree w'th thp rp'st of the board, but I
concede to thenf the right without
criticism to their opinion, and kindly
asked 'hem to extend the samo due
courtesy to me, although I stood alone
but firm In my opinion to repair and
keep out o debt: but they have been

and along the highways, and one of
