Miss McMurray, the trained
nurse from st. Louis who has tax
en- carr of Mr.. Polk during his sick
ness and has had much experience

Folks was certainly the worst case
that ever came under her observa-

A Missouri newspaper man, who
has yet to be shown, prints the fol-
lowing: "Early to bed and early
to rise, does very well for sick folks
and guys, but it makes a man miss
all the fun till he dies and joins the
stiffs that r gone to the skies.
Go to bed when you please and
die at your ease, you'll die just
the same of some Latin disease"
Mr.. A. F. Bond, the popular
travelling representative in South
east Missouri and Arkansas of the

ed his tenth years association with

odist Church are requested to OBJ

for the salvation of the unsaved,
for the strengthening and enlarg-
ing of the kingdom of our Lord as

THE PASTOR.
The many friends of Mr.. S. E.
Buford in Iron county will be sor-
ry to hear that he has not enjoyed
very good health since he arrived
in California a couple of months
since. His wife and daughter,
however, are doing nicely. They
are now at San Bernardino and
unless Mr.. Buford improves con-
siderably in the near future they
will likely return to Iron county.
The President and two or three
of the directors of the Sligo Co.
were over the Missouri Southern
R. R. the latter part of last week,
making a close inspection of the
roadbed. 1t is generally thought
that either this company or the
Frisco company will buy the Mis-
souri, Southern. If they do, look
out for old Reynolds. A standard
guage railroad would help to de-
velop our county more than any
other one thing.-Reynolds County

PENDANT. He was convicted and
fined one dollar and costs, which
amounted to S26.50."
