Our old friend, Milt Clements was
down from Sun City last week and
made us a genial call. Milt is now
to be dOor-keeper for the state
senate during the coming session. We
do not see why Barber county should
not be favored with this position as
well as any other. Milt is Barber
county man and decidedly an old timer,
we wish him abundant success.

week to Topeka and Wellington. c. 1.
says he travels in the smoker because
he is plebian and does not like to
mingle with aristocrats. We are some
times reminded, however that plebian
airs may be assumed when plebian

slurs the campaign charges made
against him.

This should prove warning to persons
feeding stock, to feed only good, sound
corn. This is not the first in this vicin-
ity of poisoning by wOrm-dust in corn,
several parties around Lake City hav-
ing lost horses. There was a good deal
of damaged corn last fall and farmers
should be very careful.
