two rooms can be opened into the Sunday
school room proper, adding considerably
to its capacity.

run, add the cadets began playing a game
thai was too much for the Richmond
boys, WHO seemed to lose heart and lack
| the vigoT which marked their playing In
the first part of the game. At the close OF
the game, the cadets were one tally ahead
on the score card, and had yet a bat due
them. which was the last half of the

Mr.. Lafayette Groves has purchased the
Higginsville Leader from Messrs. kapp q
! Schooling, and will take full charge of the
office today. The deal was made several
weeks ago, but was not to go into imme-
diate effect. The Leader has a good plant,
land seems to be doing a prosperous
business. Mr.. Groves is u son of Mr..
Fletcher Groves, and has a natural talent
hsr newspaper work. lie is a graduate of
the State University, and is a bright
young man, who takes to politics as a
dack takes to water. We welcome him
TO the field, knowing that however popu-
lar the Leader may have been heretofore,
it will lose none of its snap and bright
ness under the new editor.
We call attention to the receipts and
expenditures of Lafayette county, for last
year, which we publish elsewhere. A
foolish statement had gotten in circula-
ton that our county court had been
spending money f%oolishly, and were
afraid to publish a full statement. We
have an honorable court; there is not a
man on the bench who could not be safely
trusted with the entire management of
the county finances. The statement will
show where every dollar has gone, and If
one dollar has been fraudulently spent, it
will be easy to show it from the record.
Let there be no more insinuations. If any
objection can be found to our court it will
be on the ground of economy. They have
been very careful, as they should be, in
spending the county's money, and it may
be that sometimes they have not apPro-
priated quite as mach as was expected.
We believe in public improvements, and
SO does the court; but if the court does
not always see things as we do, we think
we are Just as liable to err as the
$500. .z.oo;olI, oa tIau lynnuu fan tipnpQ
