Ashland merchasta are to combine in one great big movement that witt inaugerate the official opening. of the holiday season in this city. This event which is to be staged on the evening of Friday, December third, should mark an epoch in the business life of the city, for when one event of this kind is pot on successfully then the next comes jnst that ranch easier. Furthermore with the pooling of interests, with the forgetting for a short time the shortcomings of competitors and-all working to a common end, that of bringing people down to the business section of the city to see what local mer chants have, a step is being taken that will result in the ultimate good of the entire city. • Of course there are the “ doubting Thomases” who can. only see in this an effort on the part of local merchants to increase their business. They are so short sighted that they can not Tealize that a city is just as prosperous as the basiness district which is the very heart of the community. When merchants are prosperous, when they are doing an excellent business their stocks become laager, their interests more varied, and the many things that result in the ultimate good of all concerned, spring forth without much effort If this step on the part of the business interests results in their doing, even five oeuts’ worth of business more than they did last year, the Tidings will rejoice. If this step that will be taken Friday night results in one person doia^his Christmas shopping locally instead of go ing ont of town to buy his or her merchandise then it will have been worth while. .**■ Let’s give the local merchants a ran for their money. Let’s ooaie down town Friday evening and» join in the festivities. Let’s take a real interest in what they are doing, and we venture to predict that thia interest will be retuned a thousand fold. The Golf Course T ïe Golf draner dance is nmkiug feeadway. Tttc > men whe are «elling tbe tickets report an excellent reeeptioaHhd everything points to a moet successful affair next Tuesday Might. The management of the hotel reports that merchants have been in looking over the available spaoe and it is predicted that this portion of the entertainment will be unusually attractive and interesting. With the staging of this affair, the golf busi- twee ia Ashland should he looking up. There should be renewed activity and interest shown ia this essential sport. Not from a selfish standpoint how ever hut from a matter of civic pride, this should t t »* the startittg point of a successful effort to •ecare eneffieient membership to insure the final completion of the golf coarse. Other cities, smaller than Ashland without nearly as much civic pride or community interest have bdilt splendid golf courses aad the citiaenry as well as the visitors are daily reaping the benefits. The golf coarse in Ashlnad is nearly up the lull; it has reached that stage in the climb where just a little extra push will shove it «ver and from then on it should be able to travel on its own moment tan. During the last few days the Tidings has run aeries of articles dealing with the shale industry. We have carefully refrained during these articled or at any other time, to advaaee aay opinion we might have as to the value of this enterprise from an in vestment HtandjHiint for it is not the duty of a news paper, and neither are they ordinarily qualified to pass u]M»n the soundness of any enterprise of this na ture flora a strictly financial standpoint However, there is • duty that this paper feels in connection with our own Shale Oil jKitentialities. Several local business men have visited this en terprise, they have publicly placed their stamp*of apixuvai upon the work tioit is being dime, they have pointed <«t the fact that every opportunity should be given to thoroughly tost ont the present project, and’they call attention to the great amount of good thjit will result to the city if the present project shertld be gucooKsfully carried out.
