Burton Monitor: The pastures in this
vicinity have never been in better con-
dition At this period in October. With
mild, pleasant weather, grass abundant
and equal to that in June, good crops OF
corn now being gathered and fed to
thousands of hogs and cattle all tend to
make times lively for our stock men.
The demand for stock hogs and
cattle is too big for the supply, and some
OF our feeders nave had to visit other To-
calities 10 procure stock from people
who have not been so fortunate IN being
blessed with big corn crop.

the patties back, and the wretch was
lodged in the Anderson county jail.

though severely burned, it is hoped she
will soon recover. It does seem strange
that such accidents must be chronicled
every day. Parents cannot be too careful
about usir g this fluid to kindle fires, and
above all, never bring the can to the
stove. If it must be used, turn little
into small dish, but leave the can in
the closet.
lola Courant. The citizens of Paola
formed stock company for the purpose
of lighting their town with natural gas,
to be brought through pipes from wells
some distance from town. If Paola can
be probably lighted in this way, from
wells which are several miles from town.
