Saturday was a busy day in
town. Especially was this the
case with Lopez Store Company,
where nine statesmen were kept
busy from early morn until late at
night, waiting on the people that
thronged the store all day long.
The days sales were far the larg-
est in the history of the Lopez
Store Company since it's organiza-
ton two years ago.
NoTICE.-The bean guessing
contest at Browns closed Satur-
day night. Mr.. R. A. Dunn of
Sabula was the lucky guesser, and
secured the handsome lamp. The
exact number of beans in the jar
was 1910. Mr.. Dunn's guess was
1912, missing the correct number
by two beans. The beans were
counted and guesses examined
under the auspices of MI. VIM.

Bill Persons, who has been serv-
ing a six months sentence in Jail,
imposed on him at the last term of
circuit court, grew weary of con-
fnement Sunday evening and re-
solved to spend his Christmas at
liberty. He has served as kind of
trusty around the Jail the past two
months and no strict watch has
been kept on him. He was out in
the jail yard Sunday evening
shortly before dark, and when the
sheriff wasn't watching quietly
slipped away. Nor has he yet
been found, although John Mar
shall has spent the past two days
looking for him. Persons has
probably gone beyond the State
limits.
Sundays Post Dispatch devoted
a page to telling of a proposed
plan to establish a large camp of
"Seton Indians" in the valley next
spring. In connection therwith
the P.-D. says: "Returning to the
scenes of his own boyhood, and
but ninety miles from st. Louis,
where he was married to the pretty
Missouri girl who is now his chief
assistant in the work, Fuller Swift
is about to establish the headquar-
tiers in the little town of Arcadia,
in Iron county, Missouri. There
he and his talented wife, Two
Tongues, Chief Medicine Woman
of the Tribe in all America, will
set up tepees and there, shortly
after, will follow Seton Indians
from all over Missouri, Iowa, ILL
nois, South Dakota, Ohio, Nebras-
ka and as far away as New York
and Oregon. For the Seton tribe
roams from ocean to ocean and is
welcomed in every home. To be-
come a member of the tribe you
must be either a boy or a girl, not
younger than s nor older than Is
years. Ernest Thompson Seton
established the tribe a few years
ago, binding a few boys together
to study w%oodcraft. The boys
dress like Indians, live in tents,
follow the trail and shoot arrows.
As many as 5000 of the Indians are
expected at Arcadia next spring.
Fuller Swift, who it is announced
will be in charge, is said to be a
son of Rev. Swift, who was in
charge of the Baptist Church al
Belleview about twenty years ago,
January sale at Browns will be-
gin next week. Watch the papers
for special bargains.
