'It will open a new territory and is calculated to bring a large amount of new business to Davis,' editor Fay CROSSETT wrote. CROSSETT reprinted the following: Trade at Home, Why? When you 'order' goods -- you deal with strangers/Buy from printed descriptions/Send money in advance/Pay freight charges/Wait for the goods and fret/Write and complain of errors/Always pay full prices/Support some city millionaire/Must always have cash. When you buy goods from home merchants and home manufactured products, you -- Deal with your neighbors/See the goods before you buy/Pay when you get the goods/Get the goods delivered free/Return goods if not satisfactory/Getfrequent bargains/Build up home enterprise/Are given credit when necessary. The pews for the Baptist church arrived and were going to be put in. 'The Baptists have a commodious and comfortable place to worship,' CROSSETT wrote. Station agent A. O. McCORD was having a second story added to his dwelling. He owned the M. WHITE old place near the depot. 'It is believed that grading on the Davis-Turner Falls line will commence early next week and parties in a position to know say that trains will be in operation between these points within 90 days,' he wrote." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Murray County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/murray/murray.htm
