The new ordinance levying tha tax
for municipal purposes can be found in
this issue. The levy is not quite 15
mills, hut it is so close that no one would
have raised any objection if it had been
made 15 mills in round numbers. The
levy is 11 mills for town tax and two
dollars poll or street duty, while the
prices for various licenses have been
greatly increased. Bat then it takes
money to run the town.

Arm Cut Off by Train.
Harry Timmons, one of the lads at
Monarch, who have been making a practice
of "swinging" the freight trains as
they pass Monarch and riding into town,
tried it once too of:en last Saturday
afternoon. About 5 ?. m. as the frnicrht
train was passing he made a grab at tha
side ladder and his hoM slipped and he
fell and his arm was caught by the
wheels and two er three pairs of trucks
ran over it below the elbow crushing it
# into a pulp. Pr. Hamilton, the railroad
surgeon, was at once noticed qntj yiras
soon on hand, he at onca went to work
to amputate the arm and about 5:30 ha
bad it amputated just below the shoulder.
We have baen looking for some time
to hear of J ist such an aooidaqt to h ippeu
to some of these reckless youths who
will persist in jumpplng on and off of moving
trains despite tha efforts of parents,
polloe and everyone else to put a stop to
it. It was provide iti-il perhaps that it
was not his boly that was ruq over.

THE TIMES EASTER ED.TION.
i A Few Words Concerning our Biggest
Advertisers and Their
Phenominal Success.
This is our Eastor edition of Tin:
Union Times, how do you like it?
In it you will find the advertisements
of three of our hustling merchants.
We could have got more if
the lithograph cover had had more
pages. We filled up all the available
space with the first merchants we
went to. We did not mean to slight
any of our advertisers but when we
showed the i:?u~ 1--'
? utuv^i u|juuu
cover to Tho Bailey-Coneland Co.
and Mr. M. \V. Bobo and they baw
what spjcc was available, each of !
them took a page, so what could we j
do, we had it all taken. {
the McLurf. mercantile co.,
Another hustling and wide-awake
firm, spoko for half a pa?c, and as
wo did not have any more space on
tho cover we have shuitlod things
around, and by the kindness of one
of our advertisers we were enabled to
givo him a choice place in the paper,
first half of second page, where you
^greeting.

Who have been making a rafrfew.
since they have been in business in
Union and who know tho value in
of judiciously spreading printer's ink
extend Easter greetings to their large
and constantly growing number of
patrons. They call especial attention
in their ad. to their clothing department.
They are undoubtedly the
leaders in this line, and they take
tvklci an?01*l"?nfw ~ a? j
vu?o uppvuuuobj vi aoduuug iuu uaat* *
that their clothing will be kept up to 1
the high standard they have main- 1
tained. A pleased customer is an- (
other good advertisement, and from
the extraordinary growth of this 1
business since these young men ^
opened up in Union they must bo as j
successful in this line of advertising (
as they arc in attracting tho eye of :
the readers of The Times to their 1
regular advertising space. They ;
know that to get the attention of the i
reader to their ad. means to get a *
customer and they do both. The?e \
young men are both very popular in
Union, they seem to havo a knack of
making friends and drawing trade,
and when they get a customer the\ !
rarely ever lose him.
Their men, women and childrenV
shoe department is stacked from fkor
to ceiling. A 1 you have to do is to I
name the kind, style and pr're you (J
want. I
In the gent's furnishings depart- i
ment you will find anything you need
in that line, but read their ad , they
tell you all about it, and don't Yorgei ]
that Sunday is Easter.
M. W. 110110, t
f
The man who has astonished the 1
natives since he moved from his liitle store
at Sedalia to Union, lie came
hcjre to do business and you can bet
your last dolluv ho has been doing it i
from the jump. lie now runs one ,
of the largest department stores in
this section, aud his trade comes from
tho four corners of the county. It 1
did not tajce Mr. Bobo twenty or
thirty voara in business to learn that (
it paia ana paia wen to advertise.
He knew it instinctively as a natural 1
born business, man and about the
first thing he did when he opened up
was to negotiate for a nice advertising 1
space in which he might get before
the people and have nis say. He '
began to say it, the people began to
listen to him and there goon began to
be something doing at Bobo's. His
slogan has been good goods and very
close margin of profits. The people
canje to see if his statements were
true. They foijnd tbpy ^ere, they
told others,others came, same verdict.
Then the paper was scanned for
Bobo's announcements the same as
for looal news- Ho had captured
the people, result, he began t)
spread, or at least his business did,
and ere long the great store room
woul4 not hold him, he must have
more room. He seeured the adjoining
building, the two were connected by
arches, a mammoth furniture establishment
is the result, building filled
from oellar (o ceiling. The undertaking
department" was nest added
and his other departments have been
growing, growing, growing until the
undertaking deprrtment has to be
crowded opt of the building and
another building has been yenned for
(his department, and still he hustles.
May be you think he must have
brought Aladdejj's Lamp with him.
Sounds like a dream, don't it, but no

LTe is on advertiser fcoi# his heart,
li e spreads out in his advertising the
?ame as in his business, lie has
Eent more money in advertibing in
e la t t' 0 years than any concern
in Union, lie does not sfcoa to bpgrudge
the printer the fe^r (folia's it

vertising is a necessary essential to
success in business, and a inan had
as well attempt to run a business
withoi t clerks a3 wit hour advertising
in this enlightened and hustling age.
No uso to tell you to read Bobo's ad.
this week wo know you will do it.
As we have already said, tho success
ofjthesc two concerns,(among the
newest in the town.)the Bailey.Copeland
Go. and M. W. Bobi, has been
something remarkable, and by way cf
paryenthesis we will remark that the
Bailey-Copeland Co. arc, with the
exception of Bobo, the most liberal
advertisers in tho town. We wish
you abundant and continued success
gentlemen, may you livo long an I
prosper and continur to remember
the printer as you arc climbing up
