The Davenport New Era made
mention last week of the list of
Stroud business men we publish-
ed mi the Messenger and publish-
ed a list of their business firms,
which is surprising to all of us.
We never dreamed of so many
businesses there. By reading
the advertisements in the Dav-
enport paper you would get the
idea from the very few, that
Davenport was just a wide place
in the road. Every merchant in

Fourteen cars from Kendrick and vicinity made a tour of the
county yesterday, boosting Kendrick and the big three days Chau-
tauqua they are going to have there oil July the 5th. 6th and 7th.
' hey had with them a band organized from players from Kendrick,
Davenpoi t and Chandler, composed of eleven players and under the
leadership of W. T. Litten of Kendrick.
The trip covered about a hundred miles, going thru Stroud,
Davenporl, Chandler, Carney, Tryon, Agra, Avery, Kendrick. The
largest and most appreciative audience on the trip was at Agra,
where a Chautauqua is now in progress.
The Kendrick people are all boosters, and they all boost togeth-
er. They have also decided to have a Fourth of .July celebration
and have hired the Davenport Cornet Band to furnish the music.
I hey extend a special invitation to the people of Davenport and
vicinity to attend.
Saturday night the program
was carried out while the best
rain of the season fell, which was
badly needed. Song service was
