Mrs. o. r. Harris Of Galena is visit
ing friends here this week.-Mrs.. M.
Bailey received news Of the serious
illness OF her mother and left this
Thursday morning for her old home
at Grenola.-TOm Loudermilk Of
Greenfield, Mo-, was the guest of r.
Loudermilk and family this week
J. II. Morgan spent Sunday at home.
Some persons have been busily
engaged in getting rid Of the town
dogs. The object Of such work can
not be imagined, but we would sug-
gest that the wisest plan would be to
refrain from similar actions In the fu-
ture, as efforts are being made to dis
cover the source, and If the proper
persons be discovered the result will
not be pleasant. Suspicious have been
aroused.

Baxter Springs Is Not Dead.
Short Greek Republican,


"a beautiful town but as dead as q
door nail" is an expression we have
heard time aud again concerning our
neighbor Baxter Springs. The fact
of the matter is Baxter Is "a beautiful
town" but NOT dead by jug full. Its
merchants are enjoying better bust
ness than they have in the past ten
years and we venture the assertion
that the merchants of Baxter are max
ing more money today than are the
merchants of Galena Notwithstanding
our merchants arc doing much larg-
er business. The business men Of
Baxter sell nothing sat cost" Every
dollars worth of goods sold by them
Yields a fair living profit, hence theil
prosperity. AS to the character OF the
business men and their manner of do
ing business we point to one feature
which tells the whole story: In look
ing over the Baxter News of last weeF
we find on the local page go lines o.
pay local. In the Galena Republican
we find 128 lines; In the Galena
Times, "a lines. Thus the sleepy &,
merchants of the little dead town Of
Baxter give their paper more thar
double the business that the wide
awake % merchants of the live town
of Galena give both of their papers
Let us call halt on this "dead Dax'
ter" business while this state OF affairs
exists.
