Mr.. Lee Slusher, who resides on the
Dove road, seven miles from this city,
has a telephone, and as it costs nothing to
call him up, his bell jiRgles DOT as
often as any other. He deals extensively
in cattle and hogs, and every night he
has some of his friends here call him up
and read the market reports to him over
the telephone. In that way he keeps well
posted. II anything of Importance hap
pens, some OF his friends will call up
"Central" and say: "Give me Lee
Slusher, please" and in a moment Lee
will know all about It. He's ali right.
On last Tuesday Messrs. w. G. Mus
grove and Sam'l Drysdsle purchased the
grocery stock OF Geo. Mullenix & Co., and
on Wednesday morning the business at
the sold stand' was being conducted
under the firm name OF Musgrove d Co.
Mr.. Mullenix will go to Colorado to re-
cuperate from n period of i'll health which
has extended over two years. The new
firm is one deserving of public patronage.
Mr.. w. G. Musgrove is as well known to
the citizens of this community as any
man living. For more than a score of
years he was one of the owners and pub
fishers of the INTELLIGENCER, and a more
honorable man never solicited public
patronage. The writer of this was asso-
ciated with him for over two years, and it
gives III pleasure to bear testimony to his
real worth. Lafayette county has no better
man in its boundaries than William @.
Musgrove. Mr.. Sam DrysdaIe was born
and reared in this community. For many
years he was connected with the Missouri
Pacific railroad at this point. He is a man
of good business ability and of integrity
that is and always has been above re-
proach. The INTELLIGENCER wishes the
firm of Musgrove & Co. a successful
career.
