light bread, sweet breads, cakes,
fine cigars and in fact everything
carried in a irst-cIass restaurant
and bakery. You can get the best
of board and lodging at this first
class establishment for $3.50 a week.
Just think of getting the best board
and lodging for SOC. a day. But
we desire to call special attention to
the splendid bread and cakes sold
at this place. Next time you want
any of the staff of life, Or sweet
breads, do not fail to give this bakery
a show. Also, when you 60 to buy
your Christmas candies look to your
interest and be sure to give Miles &
| WhaIen a chance. They are pre-
pairing to carry one of the largest
stocks of Christmas candies in the
city, and are going to sell at prices
in keeping with the oppressed tinan-
cial condition of the country.
Messrs. Martin Miles and Barney
Whalen, p~roprietors of the estab-
lishment, are worthy young men

On Nov. IL Rush Hill Lodge,
No. Is, was called upon to pay its
last sad tribute to an Odd Fellow,
to a worthy and honored brother,
Christian Nohrnberg. He leaves a
wife and several children to mourn
his death. After religious services
at the Baptist church at Laddonia
by Rev. Bibb, the beautiful cere-
monies of Odd Fellowship were gone
through. Thus were lain to rest the
mortal remains of u worthy
brother. Our Lodge was kindly as
sisted in funeral ceremonies by Mex
leo, Audrain, Laddonia and other
Lodges. The Lodge adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas, An Allwise Providence
has seen fit to remove from our
midst our beloved brother, Christian
Nohrnberg; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That in the death OF
Bro. Nohrnberg our Lodge has lost
a good and faithful member OF the
order, and as an Odd Fellow his
hands were eve open to relieve the
wants of the distressed, and in all
places and under all circumstances
he was honest, earnest and faithful
in the discharge OF his duty. The
number of his friends were the mum
Der of those who knew him; and il
is resolved that u Lodge tender iti
sincere sympathy to the bereaveo
wife and children and friends OF oul
beloved brother.
Resolved, That our Lodge charter
be draped in mourning and that thu
members wear the usual badge to-
thirty days, and that these resoiu
tons be spread upon the records o
cur Lodge, and a copy of the same
be presented to the family.

They Painted Him Red.

When a company of hunters goes
out for deer in the State of Arkansas
it is an infallible rule to immerse
the first person to kill a deer in the
very blood of the animal-that Is
to paint him fairly red with the
blood that oozes from the vic
TINS wound. The hunters of
that country understand the rule
and generally submit with implicit
obedience. Last week Messrs. J.
NJ. and Mack. Barker, the former of
Mexico and the latter from Wells
vile, Mo-, in company with J. M.
Barker, Jr., Joseph DeMarke and
VIM. Preston, of Arkansas City,
went into the forests of Arkansas in
search of venison. Luckily or I'M
unlucklly for DeMarke, who had not
been long enough from his ma
tive Italian home to be familiar
with the Arkansas hunters rule,
was imposed upon by a deer and the
result was he shot the %imprudent
animal. His comrades rushed to
the scene of the tragedy and an
nounced to the deer-slayer that he
must be initiated into the first de-
gree of the hunters alliance. The
physical strength of his comrades
overruled the strenuous efforts of
Bro. DeMarke and he was dipped in
the blood of the deer in an impress
sive manner. The deer was then
hanged on an old dead tree near
the place where it "gave up the
ghost" and after the fire had done
its work the Red-face, together with
his comrades, played havoc with
the iuicy yenison.
