Marshan Items

This city is improving slowly but
surely. New water works will soon be
put iD the western part Of town. A
large amount of sewerage is being put
in. All the old board sidewalks are
being removed and brick or granitold
substituted.
Marshall Smith, a few days ago, had
the editor of the Index arrested and
fined for running his bicycle on the
sidewalk. There is war between them
now.
One of our prominent restaurant
men came near being arrested and
fined here this week for selling
cigarettes to a minor. He pleaded
ignorance, begged off, and was not
prosecuted. Following is the law;
which Lexington merchants may do
we'll to heed: "Be it enacted by the
General Assembly OF the State Of Mis-
souri,, as follows: Section l. 1t shall
be unlawful for any person, firm or
corporation in this state to sell, or give
or offer to sell or give any cigarette or
cigarettes papers or cigarette wrappers
to persons under the age of eighteen
years. Any person, firm or corpora.
ton violating any of the provisions Of
this section shall be deemed guilty of q
misdemeanor, and upon conviction,
shall be fined in any sum not exceeding
one hundred dollars for each offence.

Of Thomas W. Lawson's illustration,

mine worth $4,000. Then arbitrarily
sc" organizes his SO, 300 Of copper
property into the Arbitrary Copper

of paper which he arbitrarily stamps

to the bank and by loan or other de-

step is where "U" sells his IS, 800,

Wayerly Watchman-Last Saturday
night two OF u popular fisherman,
John Leach and Russell Sewers, caught
a fine cat fish, weighing g. pounds.
Just as they we're feeling good over
making the finest catch of the season
along came several gentlemen in a
house boat, and Sunday night hooked
a blue cat weighing 115 pounds. The
big fish was caught on a trot line about
two miles below town. The gentle
men brought their fish to town and
sold 1t to Fell 6 Hines for 81. 90. 1t

Young Men Take Heed.

A lecturer at Chicago, recently, made
use of the following language. 1. will
be to the interest of young farmers to
read and recollect: The most serious
menace that clouds our national hori-
ION to-day, omnibus now and in size
and anger and portent, is the rapid
growth Of our cities as compared with
our agricultural districts. No man
can regard the growth of the great
centers Of population, with their SIMS
ter, preponderating influence in the
politics of the state and nation, without
alarm. The remedy for this evil ard
the safety of the nation lies in building
up, encouraging and increasing our
agricultural population More farms
and more prosperous farmers, greater
In number and in pros osrity, offer our
strongest hope. The reclamation OF
our arid lands, the settlement OF the
millions of acres of still uncultivated,
fertile lands of the northwestern states
promise much in this direction, but
with increased produces of the farm
must come vastly b~roadened markets,
or the labor OF the husband-man will
indeed be IN vain.' It behooves us
then, as a nation, to study well the
markets, present and prospective, of
the world j. M. P.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
e%ustachian tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound OIL
imperfect hearing, when 1t is entirely
closed deafness Is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi.
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
