Opens Monday Evening and Will Present “The Empire” The blues have no place in the life jof today, let us laugh while we may. ‘The struggle for existence, the high i pressure race we are running, the

’social activities and business turmoil, are all calculated to make us a su- : per-serious people, and that is why we cry out for something to laugh at. Evidences of this universal demand for lighter things are on every hand. Humanity must have enjoyment, laughter is the only thing that relieves the strenuosity of life at high pressure, and the one panacea for physical and mental depression, and faded spirits. Everybody enjoys a good laugh, and that is why we say that no one should miss the Orpheum Stock company next Monday night, for this company is this season the most foremost of its class. It is entirely staged for laughing purposes, an dthe old style villain is now a factor to help along the comedy situations instead of the scene eating, raving and “curse the luck'' monotony. This company will open an engagement at the Bosse opera house starting Monday, Aug. 23rd, opening with Howard Hall’s romantic drama "A Soldier of the Empire” one of the strongest bills ever produced by a stock company in your city. They carry all special scenery for each play. Ladies free Monday night with one paid 50c. ticket. Seat on sale at the Holthouse Drug store Saturday morning. Prices 20c, 30c and 50c.

The Coppock Motor Car Company Desires to make this an earnest appeal to the business men and investors of Decatur, to support with their .subscriptions tne company’s bond issue as advertised. The company dislikes to urge support of this issue on any other grounds than the merits of the investment itself. It is a safe assumption that the business men of Decatur fully appreciate the profits to be derived from the sale of merchandise to a hundred or more additional wage earners. It is also a safe assumption that property owners fully realize what a difference in rents and values in property an increase of thirty or forty additions, would make. Believing that each business man and investor in Decatur, knowing the merits of the proposition itself, will reason out all these benefits to himself without further argument on our part, we feel it incumbent to state frankly our position. Our officers and directors as such, have three principle duties to perform—three paramount interests to protect. First —To preserve and protect the investments already made in the business. Second-To protect the interests of the investors in our product already marketed. Third—To protect the interest of Decatur in return for the support already given. In order to protect the interests of Decatur it is necessary to finance the business in Decatur. In asking for $25,000.00 subscriptions from Decatur’s investors, securing $25,000.00 to $50,000.00 elsewhere we are making your burden as light as possible. Failing to secure this support in Decatur, our company is confronted with the remaining duties of protecting tne investments and the company’s obligations. To secure this financial support elsewhere carries the obligation of moving the plant with the bonds. You would insist on this provision and other investors reason likewise. We feel that this must be our last appeal to you before seeking these subscriptions. Upon you, equally with ourselves, rests the future of this industry as one of Decatur’s brightest prospects. Are you willing to do your part, as we will do ours, and as your neighbor will ao his? Coppock Motor Car Company.
