She Was His.
just outside the Pennsylvania depot
stood colored woman, about forty
years old, smoking apple, while a satchel
rested On the planks at her feet, She
had come up from Philadelphia, and was
bound for some town up the Hudson.
By and by middle aged colored man,
who had horse and cart outside, came
in and noticed the woman as he looked
about. After surveying her for a mo-
ment he approached and bowed and
scraped and saluted:
"Good mawnin, lady-good mawnin.

"No, sab, | wasn't in any trouble"
she replied.
"'Scuse me, lady, but yo' was strange

little closer as he said:
"Doan' see no chill'en round yere wild

"Hain't got none," she replied.

She returned TO the waiting room with
him, and they sat down together on q
back seat. Half an hour later he came
out alone with happy smile on his face,
and approaching teamster who was

MCKINNEY &SON
THE INVESTMENT co.

The annual meeting of the stock.
holders of the Investment company
was held at the Baxter bank Tuesday
evening. Some $1,000 shares were
represented and the old officers and
directors were reelected. No business
of importance was transacted with
the exception of proposition from
private individuals to buy 100 acres of
the McAboy farm for race track. A
committee was appointed consisting of
Perry, Cooper and Austin to examine
the lands and confer with other stock.
holders as to the price and terms.
There was disposition on the part
of some of the stockholders to put an
exhorbitant price on the land but when
all the facts are know reasonable
price will probably be agreed on. A
kite shaped race track with spring and
fall races would materially enhance
the values of adjoining lands held by
the company and as all the stockhold.
ers are anxious to realize on their real
estate holdings it would be bad policy
to lose this sale. Lands as good as
these and lying as near the city can be
purchased for from $35 to $40 per acre
and the McAboy farm aside from the
buildings would not bring more. The
stockholders Of the Investment COM
pany are all interested in the prosperi-
ty Of Baxter Springs and should not
throw anything in the way of an en-.
tarnriRA that would materiallV enhance
values Of real estate.

WANTS 10 COME RACK.

Mr.. George p, Sparks Of Mountain
View, California, writes thus to Q
friend with regard to Baxter Springs:
Notwithstanding we are located in
one of the most charming spots OF the
beautiful and fertile Santa Clara val
lev, one AMI a half hours ride to San
Francisco, twenty-three minutes to
San Jose and six miles from the great
Leland Stanford University, which,
with its endowment fund Of mil
lions, bids fair TO surpass any in-
stitution of the kind in the world
i say with all these advantages
and bright prospects for the Iu-
ture I often find myself longing for
the clear spring water, the beautiful
river, the delightful climate and the
genial, pleasant people of Baxter
Springs. / can trnthfully say that l
have never lived any place where l
enjoyed myself rs we'll as In old Bax|
ter, and If our property was all con-
verted into cash we would pack up
within a fortnight and be on our way
back. I look upon II as one OF the
best places in the world to live, and
anyone making q living there ought
to be content 10 let well enough alone"
Mr.. Sparks but reflects the senti-
ment of all who have ever made Bax-
ter Springs their home. 1t is indeed
most delightful place to live and only
lacks capital nerve, enterprise ana
some brains to make 1t one OF the most
flourishing cities In the west. We be-
lieve the dawn of prosperity is break
lug upon us and that al who have
any interest In the town or country
are encouraged at the prospect for fu-
ture greatness and permanent pros
perity. Mr.. and Mrs. Sparks many
friends will be overjoyed to greet
them when they conclude to come
back, which we trust viii be IN ths
near future.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Accompanied by Elder Harris we
spent the afternoon OF Tuesday In
visiting the public schools of the city.
II was am agreeable surprise to one
who never enjoyed the blessed privi-
lege Of attending Il public school TO
see in active operation the clOckwOrk
system Of education which prevails IN
every department Of the Baxter
Springs schools. From the primary
to the highest grade thorough course
of training has been inaugurated aud
under the supervision Of Prof. Bowman
the scholars are progressing more rap
idly and the entire school Is giving
better satisfaction than ever before.
The discipline ia good, but not harsh,
and the professors rule Of spelling the
rod aud sparing the child Is working
as we'll as one could wish. In some of
the intermediate grades there was
perceptible feeling of lassitude or y
tired appearance on few Of the boys
which a smart application Of birch or
hickory would probably overcome,
but as a general thing the scholars are
taking All active interest in their
studies and acquiring a thorough
education.
The rooms are comfortable, being
we'll ventilated aud properly heated.
In most cases the desks are well filled,
but not over crowded, and the people
of Baxter Springs have no reason to
complain Of the school hoard, the
school teachers or the janitor.
