hcbuy always siuNciuif octhoh biiih,
Full of business, very practical and bright,
On all occasions she's lady most polite.
Which is TO say that the Kinks
Vile girls are fair representatives
of the average Missouri product,
the same being the finest crop of
any state in the sisterhood.

The average boarding house is
a monstrosity where the chronic
lack of something to eat stands
out in bas relief like the blossom
on the writer's nose. Not 80 at
Mrs. Gooch's tables which are al
ways loaded down with the best
that the season affords.
"a thing of beauty is JOY for
ever" This is why Thomas Jew
elry emporium is daily thronged
with the beauty and fashion Of the
city. it has become a sort of q
shrine around which Kirksville's
fair ladies revolve like flies
around molasses jug; as it we're.
Aside from lingering in the at
mosphere that surrounds the pres
ence of some of Kirksvllle's
charming young ladies, the sweet
est place in town is at Will f.
Sholly's fruit store and confection-
cry establishment, where fruits and
candy are on sale by the cord,
acre or by counties.

The unabbrevisted pompsdour
that floats above the classic brow
of Col. Edmond Wallace, the ar
tistic janitor at the Normal, is a
reminder of the dark cloud that
obscures the loveliness of gold
en- Sunset in midsummer. The
Col, Is an expert in his line, how
ever, and hides his bushes be-
hind his ears while he attends
strictly to business.

The altitude of the ground upon
WHICH Or. Stills office is located,
as compared with the glen to the
eastward and westward, gives it q
commanding position, first class
drainage, q healthy atmosphere
and makes it a good place to slide
down hill in the winter. A little
landscape gardening would make
it one of the most delightful sum-
mer retreats in the city.
For smoke that is enhancing
snd full of Cuban aroma, get box
Of Dick G. cigars and go bury
yourself in the latest novel, and
when the villain is about to strike
the fatal blow, just hand him q
genuine handmade Havana from
the cigar factory of G. E. Hulett
and he will desist, and Pauline
will be saved The Dick G. cigar
is the finest smoke in the Kinks
vile market.
The average young lady indig-
enous to Kirksyille, is bright
and prepossessing example of
American femininity who is not
slow to invest her fathers money
in those lovely silks and dress
goods on sale at Pickler's great
repository for dry goods and
ladies wear. Kirksville gl1ls
know how to dress and where to
get the best, as thsir fathers
pocket book will testify.
The writer had the pleasureof
meeting Mr.. Lynn an barrow onA
of Adsir county's early settlers
and oldest residents, and while
Grandpa Darrow is not the most
elderly gentleman in the state, he
has already pa. in eighty seyen
years of honest work, and If m SIX
ing garden and saving wood for
the family, which he insists on
doing, are pointers to continued
60 d health, he will remain with
" Tor many years to come.
II. L. Patterson's real estate
and loan agency is located just
across from the GRAPHIC build
ing. which fact in itself is enough
to convince the public that Fl. E.
Patterson is no slouch, and while
some of his esteemed contempora-
ries in less pretentious quarters
may be doing first class bust
ness, it is eminently in order to
state that live req, estate men al
ways locate either over, alongside
or ust across from a newspaper
Office. That is, most always.
1t is said that "Music hath
charms to sooth the savage breast
