come before them will he the petition
to call an election to vote on the prop

Fort Scott Monitor: Miss Clara
WEIGH, assisted by local talent, gave
a very enjoyable reading at the Con-
gregational church last evening To a
large and appreciative audience. Miss
WEIGH has not only very pleasing
voice, but what is better, a clever
conception of the subjects she at
tempts to interpret. Devoid of that
affectatiOnso common to amateur read
ers, she grew in favor with the audi
ence with each number
1t was too wintry for base bail last
Saturday and so neither Geneva nor
LaHarpe had full nine when the
hour arrived for the advertised game.
They filled in with substitutes though
and played five innings for fun, the
score standing Z to Z. The regular
game was pOstponded until tomorrow
when the mines will meet at Geneva
to finish the summers work. They
are very evenly matched and the
game will be a good one.
James Dunfee, son off. w. Dunfee,
met with quite painful accident last
Saturday evening. He was handling
revolver of 81 calibre, when Ia
some way it went off, the bali cutting
through between the second and
third toes of the right foot and strik-
ing the sole of his shoe and th-n
glancing back cutting along the but
tom of the foot an inch or two. Or. .
Fulton dressed the wound and it j. /
getting along as nicely as could lie
expected.
The address at the Presbyterian /
church last Friday evening by Mrs. |
G.. II. Hume, vice-president of the |
WOman's Executive Committee of !
Home Missions, was clear, concise |
and entertaining account of the work |
that has been done and that remains |
to be done in this field. The society |
Mrs. Hume represents is doing a |
great work, not only for religion and |
humanity, but for our country for it |
is seeking out the ignorant and vici-
GUS and educating them into intelli-
gent, patriotic citizens.
lola is always a good place to trade
but it is better this year than ever |
We heard a fastidiOus woman who |
can hardly ever find anything here to |
suit her, say that our merchants had |
brought on larger and better stocks of 1
dress goods and other dry goods than |
she had ever seen here before, and |
that for the first time in a good many /
years she would not have to send Off 1
for anything she wanted. Not only 1
in dry goods but in every other line /
the stocks are uncOmmOnly complete /
and well selected so that those who
come to lola 10 trade may be certain
that they will have the very latest
and best of everything from which to
make their selections. That they |
will be dealt with honestly and given
the very lowest prices compatible
with a safe business goes without say
ing. The trade of lola is continually |
increasing and it will be better this
year than it has ever been before.
