The Philomathians rendered their
program lasi Fri evening with brilliant
success Although the hall doors were
not to open until 720 the stairs were so
crowded at 700 that it became necess

time until the doors closed shortly aft
er 800 oclock a continual stream of
our good townspeople thronged into the
hall All were expecting something
good because of what they had exper
ienced two weeks before nor were any
dissappointed The total proceeds of
the evening was 3675 and after pay
ing expenses it was found that 2760
remained for the benefit of the library
This together with the proceeds of the

sum total of 6390 which will exten

Merriman has had almost one whole
week of rest so far as we are able to
learn no new sensational rumors or
scandalous reports have been started
about any of our people for about a
whole week for which the peaceable
and lawabidmg citizens of Merriman
are truly thankful In almost every
community there are one or more per
sons who haye nothing else to do than
to meddle with other peoples affairs
and try to find out every particle of
news in the community so that they
may have something to gossip about
And many of them are not satisfied
with that but when they fail to find
what they want they at once sit down
and try to manufacture something that
will float upon the breeze Merriman
has more than her share of this class of
people and any community needing a
start in this kind of trash can be sup
plied by application to he mayor of the
city He can furnish any brand desir
ed from the malicious wilful scandal
monger to the common every day gos

or female as desired

15 Years Ago
Those were the days when Wentine
was new New men newly here and
with the vigor and perseverance of the
then early pioneer when men came and
went with scarcely more than time
to make money for that was the prin
cipal occupation then In looking over
a page of the Democratic lilade of May
7 I8S6 being the first issue in May we
glean the following terse ads of our
now prominent business men also a few
happenings as recorded by that is
sue which was 15 years ago this week
Those advertisements spoke praises of
the energies and push of men who have
made money and these records are
guide posts to others showing conclus
ively that he who advertised then is
now at the front and he who advertis
es now will be at the front in tne next
fifteen years There is no mistaking
the signs of the times of that early day
when we can now pick out every judi
cious and liberal advertiser and find
him or them at the hsad of a good bus
