Rev. and Mrs. Sisson moved to
Laclede this week and are now located
in their new residence property. La
clede is certainly glad to have these
good people become citizens of the
town.
j. A. Yount has brought to this Of
flee sample of clover that is a mix
ture of the red and white varieties.
The stalks have branches like red
clover and the blossom, are shaped
like the red but are more than halt
white. Mr.. Yount will save some of
the seed, and by planting it by itself
endeavor to propagate a hybrid that
will have the hardness of the white,
yet be as prolific as the big red clover.

and signed the papers completing the
sale of his residence property to Rev.
Sissons, and shipped his household
goods to Fredonia, Kansas, where he

return to Laclede. While here Mr..

be proud of her banking house.
