First Monday Chronicles, Labor Day Weekend 2013 - Photographs Around the Square Saturday Morning, August 31st

In memory of an ole knife trader and friend, Mr. John T. Dolberry, may he rest in peace. From the First Monday chronicles of 2008 Labor Day.

The earliest known photograph of First Monday, then known as Horse Swapper Day, or as the Ashville Post Card Company called it, Jockey Day. I purchased the former Ashville Post Card Company original proof photograph of this scene in 2007 on an online auction.

Photographs of the 2013 1st Monday Trade Days Weekend.

THE FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY

"I can say with confidence that the federal government needs a major overhaul. Don’t get me wrong, most public servants in government are highly educated and dedicated professionals who are committed to “the greater good.” At the same time, the government has become a bloated bureaucracy that is based on past conditions and in too many cases, federal programs and policies can’t demonstrate that they are generating real results that benefit the American people."
