T mo1:111 .1 at.10,4111 The Board of Trade Sullenberger HE Board of Trade is an organization of our village representing a number of our business men. The officers are as follows: G. H. Hartman, Presi- dent; L. F. Sullenberger, Vice President; Andrew Jackson, Secretary, and L. F. Tindall, Treasurer. Dr. M. I. Marsh, Dr. J. 0. Stewart, and Robert Bird, together with the officers of the organization, form a Board of Governors. The purpose of the organization is to promote the best interests of our village, and create and maintain good fellowship among our business men. We believe a great work can be done here by co-operation. We are located in one of the richest counties of the state. Some of the finest stock in the world is raised in this locality. The beautiful scenery in and around our city is second to none. We are also on the Pittsburg, Cin- cinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis Railroad, one of the best in the United States. We have a splendid little college which is doing a great work, and which we realize is quite an important asset to our town. Everyone should take a pride inhis home town and do all he can to support and strengthen it financially, morally, and spiritually. Remember, we cannot have a pro- gressive town, unless its citizens believe in it, believe in each other, and are willing to work and pull together. Everyone knows the type of a fellow who is always "knock- ing." We hope that we have none of that class here but if we have they should either quit or move away. The town will be better when they leave, and they will probably be of little use no matter where they go. We may have men walking the streets of Cedarville who are not as much benefit to the town as many who are buried in its ceme- teries. Some who have gone have left us a heritage of which we are proud, but the walking dead ones have never done, and never will do, anything either for themselves or others. For this reason, we believe a town is indeed fortunate which can say that all its dead are buried. As some one has said, "Blessed are the dead who die to get out of the way and give somebody else a chance." Let us then be up and doing and be real "live wires." Let us work and pull to- gether for the advancement of our town. By so doing we will make it a more ideal place for habitation and a place of which we may justly be proud.
