would be a drawing card for visitors

to all corners. The t'Jinnies'a must go.
Jay Bennett owns a gun, a dog, a
road cart, a buggy, several horses and
a cake-walking rooster. He does not
wish to sell, loan or give away any Of
them, just now. This is official.
We again, Sunday afternoon, saddled
up our horse, Western Wonder, and
went west, about as straight as a crow
can fly, 8 or 4 miles. We were after
black haws; we found them; the crop
is great; so is the paw-paw crop, but
we have about IS little use for the
paw-paw as Meredith Armistead has
for q banana. We were Joined by Col.
John Fecht, near Ghost Hill, and he
''showedp us. Col. Fecht owns a good
farm, ~well-stocked. He has a bunch
Of very fine sheep. We also called on
Meredith Armlstead and "Tode" Gu
lick and were, of course, enlightened
along many lines. We also called on
Dr.. w. A. Davis, who has his office at
The Corners. The physician Is a good
Bible scholar and had the book Of
books In his hand when we rode up to
his Office and hitched. He asked us
how many times the word reverend
was found In the Bible. We did know
but had forgotten. He said he had
read this good book through three
times and found the word only once,
in Ill Psalm, 9th verse. The shortest
verse in the Bible is 'Jesus wept." OF
course we knew this. And now we
would ask some Of our good brethren
how often do you find the word
grandmother in the Bible? But we
are not giving the LEDGER readers an
object lesson, only Just arguing some
Bible matters. We hope a few old
sinners we know Of will read up on the
Bible a little more and try and get
right before 1t is everlastingly too late.
James Kyle was n~extcalled on. MI.
Kyle is some better but looks awful
bad. II he improves he will likely
spend the winter in the South. His
mother, Of Boone county, is with him.
Our ride was a pleasant and profitable
one all along the line.
VIZ could write a few more plain,
everyday truths but space forbids.
And then we have been in q deep"
study for weeks trying TO place Joe
Folk and Jim Reed right in u mind.
We have at last reached a verdict and
will vote for Jim Reed for Governor OF
Missouri If he only gets one vote.
That is, Of course, If VIZ don't fall by
the wayslde and can't reach the polls.
We have many reasons for so doing
but we'll let it go at that.

Mayor L. E. Jones, who was injured
by a traction engine at the Jones farm
Friday, is in a serious condition, but II
has not yet been decided whether ar

Young Jones was assisting in pulling
