Perhaps one of the most extensive

this vicinity was closed Tuesday even.

Keshler & Co., for 400.acre farm east

the finest stock and grain farms in
northern Missouri, and went IN the deal

Messrs Teale & Allen are to be congrat-
ulated in obtaining such valuable piece

Mr.. j. q. Keshler, the head of the new

noon of last week at the home of Elder
John Smith. Mrs. Smith it seems, had

there was a blaze on the top of the tank.
Mr.. Smith was notified. and on seeing
the situation he grasped the stove, called
tor his wife to open near by door,
though which he carried the stove, fling
ingit out into the yard, where it was
allowed to burn out, care being taken
that the incipient sidewalk fires resulting
were at once extinguished. Mr.. Smiths
right hand, especially the thumb and
index finger were considerably burned
in handling the stove; otherwise he was
not hurt. Had Mrs. Smith been alone
when the accident occurred, there might
have been bad fire, in fact all the prob.
abilities point that way.-Lamoni Patriot

In this season Of our prosperity we
are all congratulating ourselves upon
the enormous increase in the wealth Of
the United States, and with great glee
We print from time to time figures to
show our rich assets. But the great
wealth of this nation is not in railroads
and manufacturing industries, nor Yet
in farming lands. Our wealth is in our
people; in their skill in their courage,
in their enterprise and industry, in their
character. We Increase our wealth ac-
cording as We increase our capacity to
produce. and that implies education.
That which tends to improve the work
ing people is that which tends to in
crease our riches. On the contrary, any
thing which tends 10 impair the body
and mind and morals of the people
tends to reduce our capacity to produce
and therefore to impair our wealth
The children of this generation Will
be the adults of the next generation,
and ii we would continue 20 improve
we must improve the children in body
and mind and morals. III recognition Of
this fact the people are now speuoiag
more money than ever before in popular
education. and there is a gradual up
lift. But there is a, dark side TO the
picture. Many children, particularly in
the Southern States are being employed
in the factories and employed to cheir
hurt. In this way they are deprived OF
the pleasures of childhood, md at
time when they should be developing
in body and mind they are being dwarfed
in both by the continual grind III the
mill Thousands and thousands Of chill
dron under twelve years of age are
thus employed day in and day out, from
sunrise to sunset and they are white
children. While these White children
are being sent TO the factories the negro
children are being sent to the public
schools, and it is high time that this
question We're brought 10 the serious ct
tention Of all Southern men who lave
a hope for the future.

our children, who make, as We have

said that it did not.
we believe that the time has come to
put a stop 70 this abuse, for abuse 1t
is. There are exceptional cases. and
