To the Editor of the Dispatch:


patch on schedule time. Notwlth-
standing my seeming negligence L
read them each week without fall.

hardt and Miss Ruggie Day were

appiness is the wish OF their many
friends here.
Brookland high school has closed
The exercises were splendid, consist
ing of music, dialogues, declsma-
tions, marches, drills, ETC., too nu-
merous to mention them all, but they
were all certainly good and gave
credit to both teachers and pupils.
The Easter services in all the
churches were vel, attended. Fine
sermons were delivered and the deco
rations were beautiful.
Rev. Walter S. Henry, pastor OF
the Methodist church, is able to be
ont after an illness of few days.
The little son of Mr.. and Mrs. E..
E. Fielder is improving rapidly after
undergoing very serious operation
Mr. E. w. IShull has been con-
fined to his bed for the past two
weeks, is able to attend to his busi-
ness to the delight of his many
friends.
The proprietors Of the a5ing trap
ezs offered q handsome gold watch to
she young lady receiving the most
votes in contest as the most popu-
lar young lady Of our town. The
watch was awarded to Miss Hattie
May Wigsins, the beautiful and &C.
complished niece of d.. and Mrs. +.

ceived by her being 1,043.

Our citizens are proud of the mil
itary company which has been drilling
regularly since it's organization, un-
der Captain t. l.. Shuler, ably as
sisted by Lieutenant A. D. Sbull.
The company is anticipating
pleasant trip to St. Louis ere long.
Brookland expansion is the serious
question of the day now. Some IA
yor expansion-sone do not. The
corporate limits of the town should
be extended further than they are so
that we could have better protection
in every way. However, the election
will soon come eff and the people
will see whether expansion is favor
able or unfavorble. I am in favor of
expansion and also the trolly line
through Brookland. Why should
We oppose any improvement to our
towL' Why should it not grow to
be as much 80 as far as possible its
big capitals sister.
Mr.. ]. A. Sesy, one of our best
citizens and an up-to-date farmer,

country as one of those ''get-up-get
fellows, had the luck few days ago
of killing something of the feathery
tribe known ss the large eagle, meas
uring elk (6) feet and few inches
Mr.. Johnnie Bachman is all smiles
now-it is ano tber bouncing boy.
I will make my appearance again
in the columns Of the Dispatch with
in short time, in the meantime l
remain whistlipg and singing the
same Robin Red"
