Sun and Lake City Happenings
Cor. INDEX


The Lake City Epworth League is on
the mend.
Pat Skinner spent first of the week in
Nortonvlle.
Raife Walker is peddling veal t?) this
week-cow veal.
j. A. Campbell and A. j. Hargis at
tended the Cain sale.
Miss Trotter of Deerhead made her
usual trip to Lake City Wednesday.
Mrs Hildebrand favored Lake again
last week with some good things from
the garden.
Miss Addie Purdy has learned the
carpenters art and is evidently making
a success of 1t.
Scrubbing the new church and cut
ting weeds was the order of exercise in
Lake Saturday.
Henry Warnstaff went to. Kansas
City last week. where he is taking treat
ment under specialist.
Mrs. Hastings who has been taking
treatment in Wichita, made a trip home
recently but returned to Wichita Mon
day.
We're glad to note that the scarlet
fever excitement has subsidized. Mrs.
Thomas had the only genuine case and
she is getting along nicely, In fact is
able to be up.
Robt. Crane of Deerhead will mingle
his melojious baritone voice with the
mezZD chorus Of Lake City on dedication
day. Robert has the reputation of be-
ing good singer.
Last Thursday Rev. and Mrs. Il a
Spencer entertained the Junior League.
After they had put in about two hours
romping and doing everything imagin
able, ice cream was served. The Par
son doesn't believe in neglecting the
social interests of the children. A
good idea, too.
Mr.. Skinner shipped several cars of
cattle to Kansas City last week. In
his way of going after it. there isn't a
more successful cattleman IN this part
OF the country. His theory, "a quick
nickle is better than slow dime" is a
good one; always ready to buy or sell
tue object, don't talk trade for fun to
Patrick. Tonk Mills is by no means a
SLOUGH in the cow business; there ism
man In Barber county who handles
better grade stuff than he, and the fact
that they are grown at home will mean
much to the purse. Mills, too, always
has something to sell but he tacks his
price on which is entirely proper. Will
tell about the other boys IN future
number.

Those who know him are we'll aware tina
he's no midget when it comes to preach
ing. AT Sp. m. +. E. Mossman, p-esi
ident of Winfield College, Will holt
forth. Rev. Mossman IS another o
Kansas most able D. DIS and is sur
to present the Old Story in way tina
all will be anxious to hear. Last, bu
not least, the Lake City Chorus hav
been preparing special music for thi
occasion, and with Mrs. G. q. Single
as organist and your baldheaded ser
want to direct, we are not slow to sa
that this feature of the meeting Will b
as good as Barber county can afford.
We wish to slightly enlarge ON tn

mention in the Index and which wa
Intended only for innocent fun, tina
both the Cresset and Index cor's Nigh

ing treated the Great Jehovah so un
justly and we surely hope for forgive
