Four New Business Houses.

Thanks to the enterprise OF
our fellow.townsman, VIM. E
Hill, Keytesvilless is to have
four more new business houses.
They will be II 1.2..by 30 feet
and will be erected on the lots
between Geo. M. Dewey's hard
ware store and T. F. Whlte's 8
dry g oods store on the south
side of bridge street. Mr.. Hill
has not yet decided whether he
will build them of brick and q
galvani zed metal front or of ce.
ment blocks.
IL is also highly probable tina,
if he is given the proper en-
courag ement he will build al
opera. house above the four
busine IS houses. The COURIER
hopes tnat the "proper en-
courag ement" will be forthcom'
ing. Keytesville needs an opera
house and it ought to have one.
'Rah for Mr.. Hill!

WHAT is
A 'BARGAIN?"

Webster says in his dic..~
that ga bargain is a gainful
and satisfactory transaction,
profitable alike to both buyer
and seller"
Then every sale l make of
Blanke's Roasted Coffee must
be a bargain. The buyer, you
see, is satisfied every time and
gains in health by drinking the
Coffee, while I make a little
profit on each pound.
l don't take much stock, though,
in "bargains" unless they are
dictionary bargains. Do you?
Blanke's Coffee would be treat
for kings and queens. The
price is reasonable.
"But," says somebody, 81 can
get coffee for Is cents a
pound"
Of course you can. and you can
get cheap land for 81 90 an
acre. Cheap land and cheap
coffee are alike-poor invest
ments, and mighty few peo.

The WOOdvvaEllzan and Drew Cases.
Attorney j. A. Collet of Key
tesville left for LaPlata, Macon
county, Sunday where he at.
tended circuit court this week
as counsel for Miss Tillie Wood
ward of near Brunswick who was
seriously injured from being
struck by Wabash train while
crossing the railroad, just east of
the olo Kennedy tobacco factory
at Brunswick, nearly two years
ago. Miss Woodward sued for
$40, 900 and the case was taken to
the Macon circuit court at La
Plata on a change of venue
from this county. After the
case was partly trisd at
LaPlata Tuesday, the at.
torneys for the Wabash
filed a demurrer to plaintiff 8
evidence and Judge Shelton
intimated that the demurrer
would be sustained. Attorney
Collet thereupon took a non
suit.
In the suit of Mrs. Rosa.
liza Drew of near E ,cles against
the Wabash Railroad Co., whose
case was also taken from 'Char.
iton to Macon county on a
change of venue, Mrs. Drew
was awarded a verdict by jury
for ST, 900. She sued the Wa.
bash for $4,000 for injuries sus.
tained because of her being
compelled to walk from Bruns-
wick to Keyuesville, she having
been elected from Wabash
train at Brunswick. She had a
ticket from Chillicothe to Key
tesville, but was required to
leave the train at Brunswick for
the reason that that particular
train did not stop at Keytesville.
She claimed that her enforced
walk from Brunswick to Key.
tesville caused a subsequent ill
ness, damaging her in the sum
of SO, 900 for which she institut
ed suit. j. A. Collet was also
Mrs. Drew's attorney, and At
torney j. T. Baker of LaPlats
was asso ciated with him in both
suits. They have appealed the
Woodward case to the supreme
court.

Death of o. b. Anderson.

Death OF D. b. Anderson.
It is our sad duty this week to
chronicle the death of Orville
Bradley Anderson of Keytes.
vile, which occurred of paraly.
sis at his home Wednesday
morning, June 13, 1905, at 6:55
o'clock.
Mr.. An derson was born in
Hawkins county, Tenn, June
II, 1845, and was, therefore,
aged so years, 1 months and 26
days at the time of his death.
He served in the Confederate
army during the civil war and
was a drummer boy, but was
afterwards promoted to the rank
of sergeant. After the war he
went to Virginia, thence to
Kentucky, and in about the
year 1870 he came to Missouri
and located in Charlton county
where he had since made his
home. He was married to Miss
Julia Scott in 1875, and eight
children were born to them,
namely: Swimp Field, Sallie
Ann, Samuel Patten, Orvills
Bradley, Julia Willis, Carrie
Hulda, Dempsey and. Elbert
Rucker. Of these, Swimp,
Sallie and Orville B. are dead.
The other five, with their
mother, survive to mourn the
death of him who had provided
SO we'll for his household, and
who, by shrewd business
acumen, had acquired a valu.
able estate. His life in this
county was mostly spent in
farming and merchandising, but
IN 1888 he was elected sher.
if and was re. elected Ito the
same office again in 1890. He
made good officer and left a
clean official record. Since his
term as sheriff expired he has
dealt largely in real estate and
in which line of business he had
been very successful.
Mr.. Anderson made a pro-
fes sion of religion at protract-
ed meeting held by Rev. Vance
Price at the.courthouse in Key
tesville several years ago. a He
subsequ uently united with the
Christian church at this place
and lived an active, earnest
member of that denomination
up to the time he was stricken
with paralysis Wednesday, June
3, just a week before he died.
Funeral services we're con.
1ucted at the Christian church
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock
by DR.. w. T. Moore of Columbia,
\ former pastor, and Ed. j. E
Wolfe, the newly installed pastor
IF that church. >, Interment took
place in the City cemetery.
Our entire community is
90 wed down with gaief over Mr..
An derson's death, and the hearts

that said defendant, wholly dis
regarding his duties as the
husband of plaintiff, was guilty
OF such cruel and barbarous
treatment as to endanger her
life, and offered her such in.
dignities as to render her con.
dition in life intolerable in these
par ticulars, to.w;t: Plaintiff and
defendant lived on a farm in
Charlton county after their
N arriage, where, by her physi.
cal exertion in attending to all
the duti es of house keeping, her
health become affected. but de-
fendant failed and refused to
provide the plaintiff with the

necessary help, and compelled

ment, emitting her to his
company and attention, aid and
comfort, and when at that time
and under the circumstances
aforesaid, she, in all kindness,
called his attention to her con.
dition and inability to perform
hard work, he became angry and
quarrelsome, using profane
language towards her and treat
ed her very unkindly, and in.
stead of remaining at home,
absented himself from their
home, princip ally to hunt or go
with compan Mons of like disposi.
ton on trips of pleasure, wholly
neglecting plaintiff for days at a
time. When, upon his return,
plaintiff, in all kindness and
love, pleaded with him to do
better, he rudely answered, say
ing that he would do as he id
pleased and suggested that she
might go to her m other, and US
ed words of similar import
which caused plaintiff great pain
and anguish. Plaintiff states
further that because of defen1-
ants repreh ensive conduct ber
health became still worse, re-
quiring nursing and medical at
