HERE AND THERE.

Place in Laclede the
Past Week.

/. l + y VI st (
Beginning this year The BLADE
cuts out all patent medicine locals
canceling Bucklin's, the only contract
of the kind we had.
j Mayor Felt and his head salesman,
r. M. Thompson, have been in Kansas
City the past week attending a CON
vention Of the retail farm implement
dealers association and getting point
ers on how to serve the trade of Linn
county the coming season.
| When man in search of a home or
business location goes to a town and
finds everybody full Of hope and enthu-
siasm over the prospects Of the place,
he, too, soon becomes imbued with the
same spirit, drives down his stakes and
goes to work with equal interest.
7. d. Mouser has bought three
acres more land of Chas. Mathiasch
adjoining on the south the piece he
bought some time ago of Mr.. Math-
iasch. This gives him west as we'll
as north front and makes a very
desirible location. Mr.. Mouser ex-
poets to build in the spring.
Venerable Consul Fl. j. Libby has
called special meeting of the Modern
Woodmen for next Monday night.
This meeting is for the new officers to
practice the ceremony of adoption as
there are six candidates to be adopted
at the next regular meeting January
%. The officers are especially urged
to be out Monday night.
Passenger train 81 was derailed a
halt mile west of Laclede Tuesday
morning. Aside from delaying traffic
about three hours no damage was done.
Eight or ten small wrecks of this
character have occurred between La
cledr anu Meadville within the past
few weeks due to the bad condition of
the track.
DR.. 2. 7. Standby and daughter,
DIR. Kathryn Standby, were at Paris,
ILL.,, Wednesday attending the funeral
of Mrs. Vance, mother of DR.. Stand
ly's first wife and grandmother of DR..
Kathryn Standby. She died in Chi
cago where she had resided for some
time but was taken to her old home
at Paris for burial.
T. d. and J. L. Mouser, who have
jointly owned and operated the home
farm of 160 acres and a threshing
machine and saw mill, have dissolved
partnership, the former taking the
threshing and mill machinery and
the latter the farm. Both are hard
workers and good managers and will
no doubt continue TO prosper in their
chosen occupations.
J. Clair Lomax, of the Palace dry
goods store, edits a page of The
BLADE today. The matter is not
only interesting, but has a money
value to all who appreciate the oppor-
,tunity Of lengthening out the purchas-
ing power of the dollar they have to
spend. This is truly the day of bar
gains in Laclede, and the shrewd buy
ers are not slow in recognizing the
fact and improving the opportunity.
The BLADE congratulates the es-
teemed county court upon the order
made at its January meeting requiring
that county officers file requlsitions
with the clerk of the court and that |
no stationery be purchased until order
ed by the court. The practice of
allowing the county oRcers to purchase
their office supplies without an order
from the court has been abused in
some instances and it is to remedy
this that the court has taken the pur-

hands. The new order ought to please
the county officers, too, because it re-
