Henry Anderson. who recently sold

Henry Anderson, who recently sold
his farm west of town and had sale
of his stock and personal effects, left
on Monday Of last week for Nugent,
Mo-, where his mother and brother
ELMER resides and where his mother
had gone the week previous. He
took his oldest child with him, boy
of or 7 years of age, leaving his wife
and youngest child, daughter, here.
1t is understood that he designed
moving with his family to Oklahoma,
but after settling up all Of his debts
had but little money left and gave up
the intention. The neighbors report
that he and his wife have not lived
happily together for some time and
that his going away in the manner
he did was with deliberate purpose
of abandoning her. Mrs. Anderson
is the daughter of VIM. Bloom, of
Mercer, and grand daughter of Silas
Mobley, west of town, and John A.
Bloom, of this place. She is left penni-
less and dependent upon her relatives
for support. Anderson has always
stood well in the community as an
honest handwriting man and has many
friends who defend his course and justi-
fly his action. The trouble between the
couple grew out Of failure of Mrs.
Anderson and her motherin-law, who
has lived with them, to agree and
quarrels we're said to have been frequent
and bitter.-Lineville Tribune.

DR.. Horner and wife narrowly escap.
ed bad results from an accident last
Saturday. South of Andover loose
horse with a saddle on was in the road
ahead of the Doctors buggy, and in
trying to pass under sagging tele-
phone wire, the horn Of the saddle
caught the wire. The horse then be.
gan plunging and tearing, and pulled
the wire across the road, and succeeded
in getting loose just in time to let the
wire catch the Doctors buggy. The
plunging of the lone horse frightened
the Doctors team into a wild run, and
things looked dubious. 1t was top
buggy, and that alone saved the couple
from serious injury. By careful work
Mr.. Horner stopped his team i'll time to
prevent injury. Those telephone wires
carried on small native poles are a
menace and a nuisance. Lamont Chron-

Tuesday morning a deal was consum.
aled whereby Il. Richardson and A. A.
Cozad became owners of the cheese
factory, l.. M. Parr, the former owner
returning to Weldon. Since starting
up, there has not been day but what
they manufactured some cheese, al
though for the last week the milk sup
ply has been falling off on account of the
dry weather and the patronage has not
been as it should be or as was promised
Mr.. Parr before coming here. We un.
derstand that the new proprietors will
not for the present operate the factory;
but will in short time start the fac.
tory again. This is quite a draw back
for the present to the farmers who were
patronizing it, as they will miss the
daily sums which seemed almost like
"getting money from home" as the say.
