TIs First Msifcy Sale.
The business men of Hitchcock
have dedided to institute the
First Monday Sals again. They
will put one on Monday. Feb 8.
The merchants and other bust*
ness men will have special bar-
gains for that day, which will be
advertised in next weeks Clarion.
The farmers or any one who
have any thing they tfant to dis-
pose of, but do not have enough
<o justify advertising a regular
auction sale at home, can bring
it i.n on that day and the same
can be sold by the auctioneers to
the highest bidder. Col. Jacob

BOOST FOB HITCHCOCK. S?
we know that the fame of Hitch-
Other towns are getting busy
along the lint of boosting. They
are organizing booster clubs and
in other ways are trying to build
up local enterprises and attract
capital. We think it is high time
for Hitchcock to come alive once
more, bury our little hammers,
quit knocking, put on our spiked
shoes and put our shoulders to
the wheel and boost hard for our
home town and surrounding
country. If we happen to be
fortunate enough to own a good
farm (there are no poor ones)
near Hitchcock we should join
the boosters club. Every man
living in town, no matter what
his business, should join the
boosters club and then let us ail
pull together for our own in
terest§. The farmer is interest-
ed in buildinguphishomemarket,
the man in town is interested in
building it up, for here is where
he makes his living.
If we all stand back and wait
for a few business men to do all
the boosting they may not do as
good a job as ought to be done,
and besides, it isn’t fair that they
should have all the glory. On the
other hand the business men
should not wait for the other
fellows to doit all either, but at
every opportunity they should
join heartily into the spirit of
every enterprise that will tend
to boost.
A town that never boosts is
like a crop of potatoes that never
get cultivated, it grows up to
weeds and yields small potatoes
and few in a hill.
Some people put in the most
of their time predicting dire
calamities and saying, “1 told
you so.’’ Our policy is to tell the
good things and leave the bad
alone, it will get noised about
enough.without our help. It is
usually supposed ’that the news-
paper is the proper organ to do
•the boosting for a town; we be
lieve it to be one of the best, but
it is impossible for a newspaper
to do it all. Now honestly, fellow
citizens, do you not all believe
that every man in Hitchcock ant
surrounding country s ho u 11
make a special effort to help
cock would soon spread until we
would be the envy of many larger
towns.
