JAMES DOUGLASS CALVIN.
James Douglass Calvin died at
the home of his sister, in this
city at nine o’clock Tuesday
morning, after a short illness of
appendicitis. The seriousnes of
his case was recognized by the
attending physicians as soori as
they were called and an opera
tion was performed, but this
failed to save him, and his heart
action became so weak as to
awaken fear on that account.
Funeral services Tuesday morn
ing at 9:30 o’clock at the home
of Mrs Flora Kimberlin, con
ducted by Dr. C. Pope, burial
following at Walnut Grove.
The deceased was born > in Co
lumbia, Mo., September 3, 1880,
but most of his life had been
spent in Newport, where he had
many friends, and was recog
nized as a young man of energy
and high character. He leaves
two sisters, Mesdames Mattie C.
Brown and Flora Kimberlin, and
Louis, to whom the sympathy of
our people is extended.
A man’s career is said to be
the surface of his life, and in
this instance the • future was
bright and full of promise for
the departed, but that stage of
life had been reached when a
man’s full powers of mind and
heart have attained their zenith,
and they presented in him a noble j
type of manhood. Noble and
great in that sense of which it1
was said, “an honest man is the
noblest work of God. ”

Minnesota Merchant Says Adver
tising is Necessary to Success.
—' I
Newspaper advertising is the
first requested for mercantile
success.
That, in brief, is the opinion
of John Gately, who is at the
head of the Gately Supply com
pany of Duluth, Minn., and near
ly fifty other retail stores located
in some of the best business
towns in Michigan, Illinois and
Minnesota.
While visiting his store at Ish
peming recently, Mr. Gately was
interviewed at length by the
Peninsula Record, and he not on
ly declared himself unqualifiedly
in favor of advertising, but ex
pressed a decided preference for
the columns of the newspaper.
Among other things, he said:
“Judicious advertising is as
essential to business success as a
postage stamp is to a letter one

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
i
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
