From the Higginsville Leader
Smith 4 Hickman, the popular young
farniture merchants, have sold out
their entire stock to Nolting Bros.
The sale was made by Layne Bros.
Messrs. Smith & Hickman will probably
60 to Springfield, where they have
business opening. While in business
here these young gentlemen have con-
Quoted straightforward and paying
business, and are thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with all the details in this line.
In undertaking they have especially
distinguished themselves. Higgins
vile regrets to lose them and extends
Rest wishes wherever they may locate.
There is an effort on foot to organ
ize Young Mems Christian Associa-
tiOn al this place again. It is to be
hoped the effort will prove Q success,
- the Christian work in Higginsville
has never accomplished such good
results since the disorganization Of the
Y. NJ. c. A. There 10 q small fund
of the old association on hand, which
was designated for this work, and can
probably be secured by the new orgaai-
zation.
From the Wellington Qui vive.

Porter and Belle Stramcke, of Lexing-

Miss Olive Carter. Mrs. McGrew and
Miss Porter returned that night, and

Mr.. w. X. Smith has u pumpkin
grown on his farm near Waterloo
which measures nine feet in circum-
ference. He says it is cracked open,
and be can't take It to the Higginsville
fair. We are sure he would have
.'swiped" everything in that line.
Mr.. Kenneth Carter came home Sat-
urdAy from Odessa, where he has beer
for some time, and commenced hii
school IN Glenwood district, about
four miles east OF this place, Monday
morning. This is Kenneth's frs
school, but as he is thoroughly qualiliet
snd possessed Of lots Of pluck snt
energy. We predict that be will maxi
that district an excellent teacher.
From the Higsinsville Advance.
Some party or parties got into J. F
Campbell's yard Monday night AM

young pear trees that were heavil

know Of several parties who are watch

likely TO get hurt before long. Som
parents will do well to keep q close
watch on their boys.
