'Through an arrangement with each huuk anil tv- ?f li every store In the elty. the manager of the market has a promise that (he cheek# shall be cashed at par and lhat there shall he absolutely no solicitation for business in return for tin* favftr. Rut the result is the same. If a farmer goes into a store to get his (?luvk cashed, almost Invariably buys .something. '"'In the first six months after the < 'ommunity Market began business, the retjiil merchants of Adrian doubled their farmer business, and the bulk of the in crease was a cash business. Since then, the friendliness of feeling and the knowledge that they can trade at home and do better, has resulted in such fall ing off of business for the mailorder houses In Lenawee county that at least one ?>f them ha* ^tnpped sending Its cat alogs there." The man- who told this story was ?sked about the establishment of such ? market >n Camden.' He satd : "I -spent more than a month making nil inquiry inU> the Community Mwrkets. The originator the idea. Walter Ilraden. now of Pontiac. Mich went with me and we visited several of the string of t li e in which have lieen ?et up in the Northern states.

I .a si \\<vk a majority of the nnni hers ?>f ci|\ council granted a carnival t lie right lo exhibit ou the st yvots of Camden under the auspices of the city II 10 department. Councilman W. 11. Pea rce contended that tin* right was given hy the members hy agreement oh the st s ami not in council as sembled. Attorneys 10. 1 ?. Makeney iuul T. ,|. Klrkland were employed hy Mr. I'l-aree. and I < A, Wlttk?waky appeared us city attorney and ' M* M. Johnson as attorney for the tlremen, went be fore Judge Wilson iu the matter. and after the presentation of the complaint hy Mr. Pea rce and numerous atlidavits s'gned hy various parties Interested 111 ill'*' carnival Judge Wllsou issued the following order restraining the carni val from operating upon tin? streets: "It is upon motion of 10, I). Blake ni'v, ordered thai the defendants and a M person^ who may he their agents, employees, I of I leers or participants, or the exhibition of jbo <'?.? nival known as ".Majestic Shows" are hereby re strained and enjoined from occupying Church Street, or any other street of Camden, after 12 o'clock midnight^ Wednesday. October 27th. and that I hey 'he required to remove all tents, booths and other erections occupying said Street not later than 12 o'clock M. Thursday. <>cf. 1020. . J/i.'J this order be served upon the defendants not later than midday, October 27th. Alderman Pea rce hi his complaint stated that Church street was long us ed for f ravel nnd traffic and that the carnivnQ had erected large tents, booths and other' structures which .occupied three fourths of, the driveway so that only an intricate passageway of ten or fifteen feet wide was left, drawing the crowds around the same and obstruct ing the street for at least eighteen hun dred feet and that it was cheating and continuing a nuisance. . Nat Nnrd?r, manager of the carnival, made an atlidavit to the effect that if they were made to discontinue show-' ing in Camden It would mean a finan cial loss of about $4,000 and that there were about three Hundred people de pendent upon the show for their com pensation. The contract signed with the shows by members of the fire department, reads as follows: "The party of the lh>t par J agrees to present their at tractions lu^the city for a period of six days. The party of the second part is to furnish a suitable location of show grounds, all licenses, hill .posting, newspaper advertising, water, ticket takers and police protection. The show agrees lo pay 15 per cent of the gro~.s receipts, less the war tax and 50 i>cr cent of the sale of all privilege stands, at $10 per week each, also 33 pej:' cent of the net proceeds. The firemen are also to furnish electric current suffi cient for the entire attraction, also. 40 k. w. transformer to he erected. Con struction work, feed wires to 1k? run and connections lo be made. The show also guarantees the firemei* that their percentage will not be less than $oOO." Clerk of Court James II. Clyburn collected a county license <?f $'2fi f??r en eh day the shows have exhibited. Attorneys for Councilman Pearce took the position that the highways of the city belonged to the State and that any citizen had the right to bring ac tion against any obstruction that was placed thereon, and that tlte city oiily had control over the Ira lib- regulations, hi this eon tent ion they were sustained b.v Judge Wilson. It is interesting to know that this Is the first' time that 11 maMer of this kind has ever been up from this state for settlement, and it will doubtless put nn end to carni vals on the streets of Camden for all time. The I'Hrnival was served notice at 12 in Wednesday thnt they would have to vacate the streets and they m?v*M onto vacant lot' on abutting property <?n Church street. While pro bably not Interrupting the show to any great extent it put them to the extra labor and expense of removing all of their attractions, and it is safe to pi,{* that, the next carnival attraction coining to Camden will know their 1<? cation before putting np here. Thr? members of council favoring the shows were; W. J. Dunn, ma vor, II. C. Cnrrison, Jr.. W. I.. Jackson and ,W II Hough. Those opposing thv show W. H. Prnrcr It K. SterVfiiAn [and H. S. Williams.
