TOWNSHIP OFFICERS
Good Reasons for Renom.
inatinH Mem Elected
Two Years. Ago

Ihe republicans Of Jefferson towr
ship will meet in Laclede next Satul
day to nominate candidates for tn
various officers to be voted for on th
following Tuesday. The suggestion
has been made and it seems to be /,
good one and meets with general favor
that the old officers who were ousted
BY the supreme court be reelected in
az much as they did not get to serve
the full term for which they were elect
ed two years ago. Geo. w. Anderson,
trustee and A. P. Welsh and j. H.
Peer, members of the board; could not
beimproved upon. They are familiar
with township affairs and their SER
wees wees are needed to straighten out
!. matters. Lee E. Hamilton has al
' ways given satisfaction as collector
and having one year yet due him, and
as the township collector elected this
.sBS@ S~~~~
month will serve but one year, the
county collector holding at last anoth-
ers year, the right thing seems to be to
re-elect Mr.. Hamilton. There can be
no opposition to Ira Frakes for the
office of clerk and assessor. He
served but one year of the term to
which he was elected, made the race !
and was elected county assessor and of
course no one else will be mentio ned
in connection with that office. For
Justice OF the peace we are not able to
say just who will be candidates, als
though we have heard Jas. E. Welsh :
mentioned for one ofthem. The NOM = =

day which makes me think of what il

now 81 years of age. There were only
two buildings in Laclede at that time;
one store and one blacksmith sbop.
The store building was on the north
west corner of the square and was oc-

Quick. The blacksmith shop was on

Editor The Blade:

Editor The Blade:
We have moved to this place
Ihayer, Kansas, from West Plains
and, as we expect to make this our
future home, would like to have the
address of The BLADE changed to
this place, SO it may continue to visit
us weekly. W. G. Ring has also
moved here from West Plains and
would like his address changed, too.
We traded our 8O-acre farm in How
ell county, Missouri, for house and
two lots in Chanute, Kansas, but
when we got to Thayer, % miles from
Chanute, we liked the country SO we'll,
it being so far ahead of the rocks in
Howell county, that we rented an 80 |
acre farm here for one-third crop rent
aud moved onto it. Land rents here
for one-third-well improved, good
schools, and in an up-to-date farming
locality. This is mostly prairie land
In the oil and gas country. Most of
the houses use gas for both light and
fuel. The principal crops here are
prairie hay, corn, wheat and oats.
Prairie hay can be bought baled at
So per ton; corn at 35 cents per bush
ell and oats at 40 cents. The yery
best -four can be bought for So per a
hundred. II
Mr.. Ring traded his farm in How 1
ell county for 16O acres four miles Il
south of Thayer and likes it real well E
here SO far. D. r. Graves is here al
low from West Plains looking for a s.
ocation for himself He says he
ikes the country real well.
We are all enjoying good health dr
nd happy to think we are out of the bu
ocks of South Missouri. We wish IA,
