They have organized a county
Fair down In Stoddard county. The
Fair Is TO be held at Dexter.
There will not be as many acres

year as there were last year. The
low price of wheat this year will

tion of their ground for other crops.

going to the south. A few
years ago there was not a business
house south OF the Doyle Bros. store;

come up at the present term of the
Circuit Court. If the court decides
the saloon men they will not
be able to again get a license to do

likely that the court will decide that
way.

sixty cents per bushel as it costs to
make a barrel Of -four from wheat
that cost a dollar a bushel. The ex-
pense to manufacture is the same but
he profit Is not.
