For several days prior the gen
end impression scented to pre-
vail that last Monday’s Trade’s
Day would not be so largely at-
tended us on former occasions,
but ere the noon hour had arriv-
ed the crowds which tilled our
streets and stores certainly dis-
pelled all such thoughts, for many
hundred people wore here to cel-
ebrate with us. Theycame from
far and near, in wagons and bug
gies and on horseback; besides
many who came on the trains
from north and south.
The people of Clifton’s trade
territory have learned that our
inorchantsnnd citizens mean bus
iness every time they invite them
to spend a day of pleasure with
them, and they come with
the assurance that they will be
entertained and fully repaid for
their time and trouble in coming
to Clifton.
The business men havedecided
that they could broaden the
trade territory of our prosperous
little city that nestle among the
I foothills and bordering the beau-
tiful Bosque river, and to this aim
j their minds were turned when
lour “Trade’s Day” was inaugu-
rated. The experiment has prov-
- en a profitable one as is attested
I by the large crowds who come to
j Clifton every second Monday,
The Norse Imperial Band fur-
nished music for the occasion
ftnd all through the day musical
concerts were given. This is a
well organized band and is looked
upon with much pride by the cit
izens of Clifton as well Norse for
several of Clifton’s boys go to
in ake up this excellent band.

The Facilities
Of a bank account are such that it can be adjusted
to every sort of business. A bank account is in-
dispensable to the merchant. The farmer who
carries a bank account is up-to-date and lias a
systematic method for keeping a record of his re
ceipts and expenditures. Even a housewife with
a bank account is able to put system into the
regulation of her affairs. By paying her store
bills by check, she has a complete record of her
expenditures. By using a check book, bills need
not be paid but once. Each check is a receipt

At 3 o’clock p. m. several hund-
red people gathered at the New
Ball Park- grounds whCpe they
witnessed one of the hardest
fought battles for base ball hon-
ors, ever played on our diamond.
The contesting sides were Mor-
gan and Clifton; and never before
did the spectators see such play-
ing by amateur teams. Until the
eighth inning it seemed that the
sides were too evenly matched to
close with the 9th inning—but,
when Jackson got a safe to sec-
ond with O’Bryan to follow, he
j safely saw home while O'Bryaif
I took second. „At the close of the
game the sprf're stood 3 to 0 in
Clifton’s favor.
At 5:30 the much talked of
game between the business men
of Clifton against the Farm-
ers and out-of-town visitors, none
of whom wore ball players, was
called and the sides represented
as follows: Town Oscar J. Rea
S. A, Loggins, H. H. Killion, S.
F. Snider, R. L. Baldridge, Tom
Mullenix, Johh Odle, Jim Forson
and L. D. Townsend. Country—
J. B. Johnson, T. W. Grimland,
O. G. Ringness, P. Rierson, B.
Hoff, Dr. Olson, W. B. Griffin, J
H. Baldridge and J. A. Groff.
Only four innings were played
which resulted 7 to 8 in Clifton’s
favor. The game was an excit-
ing one and furnished quite a lot
of amusement for all who wit-
nessed it, as well as those actual-
ly engaged.
The attempt at entertaining
was a decided success in even-
way and ou r readers are asked
to watch for the next announce-
ment.
