A large force OF men, teams and tools
arrived in WeIIsyille last week and
are camped at Sam BlSckshaw's, east
Of that town. Another large force OF
men joined them Sunday.
The matter Of the north and south
line is not dead, as will be seen by the
following from the Memphis Demo-

Der Of them signing deeds to right-of-

Victim Held by Hair by One While

Whip.

WELLsvILLE, NO., June Pit has
just come to light here that Miss
Carrie Peery and Miss Myrtle Hayes,
two young ladies Of this city, horse
whipped Mr.. BENJAMIN Archer, also a
resident of this place, a few days ago.

man to drive with them, and after
reaching a place where the mother
and brother Of one awaited them they
alighted from the vehicle, and one
young lady held him by the hair while
the other beat him with the whip.
After dealing out this summary
punishment to their satisfaction they
drove back to the city and left him to
wend his sorrowful way alone. Mr..
Archer had the young ladies arrested,
and the case will be tried in a few
days. Miss Peery and Miss Hayes
allege that Mr.. Archer had spoken OF

The Annihilation of Distance.


How much nearer to each other the
nations of the world seem to be to-day
and really are to-day than was the
case a few decades ago. When weeks
and months we're required for COM
munications between the United
States and Europe the countries of the
old world appeared to be a long way
of. Now the circumference Of old
earth is belted with telegraph and
cable lines in every possible direction.
What happens to-day in Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia, South America and
the great islands Of the sea is made
known to us tomorrow by great
newspapers like the Chicago Record
Herald, whose foreign correspondents
are located In every important city in
the world outside Of the United States.
In addition to its own staff correspon-
dents the Record-H Herald enjoys the
foreign news service Of the New York
Herald, famous for many years for the
reliability Of its foreign news, and
also Of that great cooperative news
gathering organization, the Associat-
ed Press. No OTTER daily newspaper

A Lesson For Boys.
From the Fulton Sun,


There are many instances connected
with life that cause the strongest
heart to grow sad and arouse within
the hnman breast sympathy for ones
fellowman. One OF these sad stories,
full OF sorrow and pathos, comes from
Paris, Missouri, and is told by an ex-
change. A small boy Of that town
was brought before the County Court.
His face was pale and his youth seem
ed to have left him and left only the
marks Of the perishing flower Of youth.
This boy was a picture II despair. His
mind was dethroned and his energy
was wasted. His heart was blasted
and hts hopes seemed to have persisted
even as the wave is lost In the ocean.
The boy was a victim Of the cigarette
habit. He had smoked them until his
body and mind were sapped of their
vitality and be was left like a ship
wrecked vessel, on the breakers Of
despair. The County Court pronounc-
ed him insane and ordered him sent to
the Fulton Asylum.
In the midst of the courts ruling
his voice was heard in a cry Of anguish
begging for cigarettes. Even though
the cigarettes had crushed him and
Knocked at his sorrow, and even though
it had torn his soul and ruined his
mind, still he wanted another ciga-
rette that his distress might find a
moment Of peace. Once he was not a
slave to the cigarette, but finally it
mastered him and crushed him as the
lion pounces upon its prey. Boys, here
Is a lesson. This boy gives his perish
ing body as a warning against the Gig.
arctic. Hit dethroned mind as 1t wan
ders, speaks with power as a warning.
His life is a visible wreck and warns
you to leave the cigarette alone. The
cigarette is your enemy. 1t will take
your Intellect and make it rave With
the anguish OF the unsound mind. 1t
will take your youth from you and
make it wither and fade. 1t will
destroy your happiness and usefulness
and make you miserable and crush
your hopes. Boys, II you smoke Gig
arettes, stop before you wander on and
on with this deadly enemy and finally
meet the fate Of this poor boy.

Chamn Clark to Tnnr Coast

A dispatch to Thursdays Republic
from this point states:
Congressman Champ Clark will
start early in July on a lecture tour
to the Pacific coast. He has been no
titled in the last few days that several
Missouri clubs scattered from Port
land TO Los Angeles intend TO wine
and dine him. One enthusiastic in
dividual, a former Missourian, says
that natiye-born Missourians are as
plentiful in the coast states as they
are In Missouri, and that onlya Mis-
sourian could carry that region for the
Democratic national ticket.

FUTURE EVENTS.

The baby show On July Fourth
should be one OF the very best feat
ures Of the day. With so many fine
looking babies in this county there
should be a goodly number in the con
test for the pretty silver cup. The
second prettiest baby will receive a
lovely bOquet. Remember the babies
are the future material for this pro-
gressive town and county and every
one should be interested In them. In
deed they must have the most proml-
nent place always.
Mexico is going to have a grand
Fourth this year. The neighboring
towns have magnaminOuSly withdrawn
any celebrations which they bad con-
templated and are going TO ~patronize
us. The splendid committee has
been earnestly working to make this
quite a success, both day and evening.
The Liliputian circus under the d.
rectiOn Of Messrs. James Edwards and
Mitchell White is one OF the principle
attractions. The young actors and
aerobats who take part are taking the
greatest possible interest in it and are
rehersing daily that their perform
ances will not suggest amateurs at all,
but as. old professionals with a long
experience. This will be something
you should not fail to see. They will
have a parade headed with a real live
band and all kinds OF things that a
typical circus has. | must not reveal
all their attractions though, you will
have to come and see for yourself.

NICER THAN TO WALK.
Bob White Says How Much Nicer It Is

Thomas, Of the Fulton
Sun, Testiies.

A good friend Of Col. r. M. White,
OF the Mexico LEDGER, who never Dc
lleyed the Cuban stories that White
wrote back here about the editor OF
the Sun. youches for the following. He
tnrns States evidence against White
and the State in turn withholds DIS
name:
There was a press association com
mlttec meeting, or something OF the
kind, TO be held at Carrollton, ana
Col. White and his good friend we're
to attend. Urgent wire was sent that
win Paint ter, the Democrat editor
might be at home. The telegram was
followed up by a telephone message at
Moberly, emphasizing the Importance
OF the meeting.
That good st~ory-teller, Ran See, the
Supreme Court Marshal, was telling
some OF his best stories and time flew
faster than the train. White thought
it was time his destination had been
reached and babe the story-telier q
hurried goodbye. Rushing forward
to the station agent he inquired the
time Of the returning train. His COM
panion followed, and when the desired
information had been obtained they
looked about for the electric street
car line. The car line was not there.
1t was not Carrollton.
wakenda, ten miles from Carroll
ton, and the last train for the day had
just gone that way. 1t vas ten miles
across the mud Of Carroll county bot
tom land, the flooded district, and the
Suns informant declares the buggy
broke six times and that White held
the seat on the frame half the time,
and he taught his friend an old SEN
tence he had learned in boyhood days:
elbow much nicer 1t Is to sit in a
carriage and think how much nicer 1t
Is to sit in a carriage than 1t is to
walk, than it is to walk and think how
much nicer it is to sit In a carriage
than ii Is to walk"
Carrollton was reached three hours
late, but as the Colonel stepped out OF
the broken buggy he repeated the
sentence which he had down to a sort
of sing song tone, ''How much nicer 1t
is to sit In a carriage" etc. etc.

PICEICS.


The younger crowd had a picnic last
Thursday at Russell's Ford. They
took their dinners and stayed all day.
They were chaperoned by Mrs. Fred
Morris and Miss Mabelle Pitcher.
About 60 people in the Santa Fe
neigborhood had a good time last
Thursday at a fish fry. The scene OF
action was laid out at about a half
mile from Santa Fe on South Fork
creek. The men did the fishing and
the women did the cooking. How
tempting was the savory odor OF the
delicious fish. The day was ideal for
such an occasion and the people made
the most Of it.
