Handsome But Suspicious.

The following from the Sum-
ner Star convinces us that one of
Keytesville's young men is hand
some, but the article also forces
us to conclude he is about to fall
from Democratic grace, else he
would not mix up with Republic
can editors on occasions of their
pow vows. His conduct is sus-
picious, at least.
We very much fear jim
mie is liable to find himself in
the predicament of poor old dog,
Tray, that got into trouble by be-
ing in bad company.
The good book admonishes us
to shun even the appearance Of
evil, not to mention it's prohibi-
ton of associating with the "real
thing" such as the Republican
editor of Missouri.
But we were about to forget the
article to which we have already
alluded above. Here it is:
''Jim Robertson, the handsome
junior editor of the Keytesville
Signal, was mingling with the Re-
publican editors at st. Joseph
last week. He was among them,
but not one of them as it were."

Now Take.
Canned Goods.

There are as many different
brands of canned goods as there
are pickets on a fence. A new
groceryman going into market
to buy canned goods would be
bewildered by the different
names and qualities and prices.
There is as much difference be.
tween-well-we will say can
ned corn-as between A and q.
Good canned corn should be of
the juicy kind, and it should
taste like corn, and it should
be free from husks and silks.
Now canneries are good and
bad. Some take more pains
than others with their products.
Some have better vegetables or
fruits to work upon. l have
tried most all brands, and ask
ed my customers opinions of
them, and in that manner have
been able to assemble on my
shelves the best canned gOOdS
on the market This is no idle
boast, but the outcome of years
of asking and trying. After
striking something good don't
ask the cannery to cheaper the
product, but l insist upon it
being better. Most of my can
ned goods is the same price as
the hit or miss kind. l don't
charge for the experience. y
That's for your benefit and the
upbuilding of my business.
Have l made this plain? Ifnot,
come in and talk it over, and
will convince you that you
make a mistake if you don't
buy canned goods of S. M,

Ran Over a Boy.

L. w. Sneed, who conducted
a barber shop in Keytesville for
several years, but who is now
mortorman on a street car line
in Pueblo, COL, ran over a g.
year-old boy few days ago and
cut of the little fellows leg just
above the knee and broke the
other leg. The injuries are Sc
rious, but are not necessarily fa-
tai.
Mr.. Sneed says the boy ran
out from behind a wagon and
undertook to cross the street car
track, and that he reversed the
lever as soon as he saw him, but
could not stop the car until the
corner of it struck the lad and
knocked him down across the
track with outstretched legs.
The boy, besides having one
leg cut off and another broken,
was also painfully bruised about
the body and received a severe
shaking up.
A clipping from a Pueblo pa
per, which gives an account Of
the accident, and for which we
are indebted to Deputy Post
master Hugo Bartz, Jr., Of Key
tesville, says further:

moned medical aid as soon as
possible, City Physician Camp

time the little sufferer was re-
moved to Taylor's drug store.
He was later taken to the Pueblo
hospital in the police ambulance
The impression got out that the
little fellow was deaf and dumb
but this was not the case. His
parents were nearly prostratec
when they learned of the terrible
j accident. At the Pueblo hospita
last night it was stated that the
patient was resting easily.
i Motorman Sneed was almos

company and has the reputation
of being a careful and reliable

About Coffee.

Some people make enough cof-
fee for dinner to warm over for
breakfast. You have tasted
some of the warmed-over cof-
fee, haven't you? Tastes like
a trail of pestilence, and leaves
a brown flavor in your mouth.
1t makes you feel mean all
morning. Well, if you get
Blanke's coffee and make it in
a drain coffee pot, and then re-
move the settings, you can
warm that coffee over until the
COWS come home, and it will
taste like coffee. Trouble with
the other stuff, you have got
ten down to the chemicals and
beans. Blanke's coffee, 4 1-2
pounds for 81.

Dedication Of the Baptist Church.

Dedication OF the Baptist Church.
The First Baptist church of
Keytesville is to be congratula-
ted. Last Sunday December s,
a beautiful, commodious and
conveniently arranged house of
worship, adorned with handsome
memorial artglass windows, fur
nished with elegant modern cir
GUAR pews, was dedicated free of
debt. The entire cost of these
improvements reached nearly
So, 900, Of which 81, 100 remained
to be raised at the dedication.
Rev. s. M. Brown of Kansas City,
pastor of the Michigan Avenue
Baptist church, and editor of the
ssWord and Way" was present
and delivered an eloquent dis
course upon Mathew 4:35, after
which he proceeded to take a
subscription, which was sufficient
to free the church of debt. This
certainly was a decided triumph,
considering the hardness of the
times. The dedicatory prayer
was then offered by the pastor,
Rev. Alpha Ingle, and, to the de-
light Of everyone, Rev. Brown
sang in his own inimitable way a
solo entitled, ''There'll Be No
Dark Valley When Jesus Comes. -
| Mr.. Brown preached at the even
ing services also.
| The writer is not informed as
to the exact date of the organi-
zation of the church, but suffice
to say that it was very near the
