THE RECORD
BY CLAUDE L. COGER.
P 0 U G II K E EPSIE .

Where is the corn buyer?
"Uncle Bill" Norris lost a good
mule last week.
Tom Haney has bought Thos.
Harrison's farm.
The independent telephone line
has reached Smithville.
The roads are fearful. The
like of mud was never seen be-
fore.
"Out and can't haul" is the
wall of the inland stores. Mud,
mud, mud.
Did you know that the sun
rose clear on Jan. Goth, for the
first time in 1907?
T. j. Norris, W. H. Spots,
E. F. johnson and many others
lost considerable meat during the
warm, wet weather recently.
G. W. Smith and j. H. Med
lock pulled off another real estate
deal last week, the latter selling
the former his residence here.
The air in this region is a little
bit blue with a lot of needless
profanity over slow collections
and the slow movements of cred
itors.
Another new store for Pough-
keepsie. j. M. and J. D. Hines
have bought the Adair & Sauls
store building and will put in a
stock of goods.
DR.. W. O.. Tibbles now drives
the Jasper Hutchison and John
Rodgers sorrel horses. They
made his pocket book Shrink"
but he has a fine team.
John Brandon has been con-
fined to his home for some time
with heart trouble. D. Sauls has
also been under the care Of the
doctor a few days, but is better.
Cleo Price, the telephone man,
was pushing around among the
people here lately. He had the
misfortune of losing a phone in
crossing the river at the Mobley
ford.
The Indian Territory fever has
struck this section in very violent
form, and if not checked, is 60
ing to carry off some good citi-
zens. 1t was caught from Geo.
Johnson.
The representatives of the peo-
pie meet to do what the people
want done, and the people ought
to be together and know what
they want. Perhaps one good
thing for the legislature to do is
to quit sooner than usual.
Horace Hearst and wife have
come to our rescue as home pop
ulation promoters. A fine boy
was born to them last week. The
editor certainly did not take the
weather conditions into consider
alton when he intimated a lack of
promptness along this line.
About noon on Jan. 25, Tom
Watkins, who was on the road to
Batesville, pulled up and come
back home. Tom is the through
freight in this country, and this
was the first time in history that
he ever abandoned his wagon on
the road. When Tom came back
everybody knew a cold wave was
on.
The young folks had a good |
time Friday night at the school
building in a spelling match.
Luther Norris and Robt. Tomp-
kins were the principals, while
Prof. Cecil Pickens and DR.. VIM.
O. Tibbles pronounced. There
were a few recitations also by the
students, and everybody seemed
to enjoy the occasion,

"And she prefers the duke?'
"Aye. the silly creature, All. well.
you think about my plan" and. with a
bow. he pricked his horse and trotted
after the body of his friend.
I went back to Flavia and Sapt, pom
dering on the Strangeness of the man.
Wicked men | have known in plenty,
but Rupert HentZau remains unique in
my experience. And if there be an
other anywhere let him he caught and

Hes very handsome. isn't he?" said
Flavia.
Well. of course. she didn't know him
as | did. yet l was put out. for l
thought his bold glances would have
made her angry. But my dear Flavia
was woman. and So-She was not

young Rupert was very handsome-as.

rode up to Tarlenheim. Sapt having

me- said |. but | was smiling as we
reached the doors and dismounted.
There Il servant handed me u note.

we'll Informed To believe the account
of the origin of my sickness, was yet
persuaded by the reports and by my
seeming inactivity that l was in truth
incapable of action and that my life
was in some danger. This l learned
from the man Johann. whom | was
compelled to trust and send back to
Zenda, where. by the way, Rupert
Hentzau had him sOundly logged for
daring to smirch the morals of Xenda
by staying out all night. This. from
Rupert, Johann deeply resented, and
the dukes approval of it did more to
bind the keeper to my side than all
my promises.
On Flavias arrival i cannot dwell

Eau. for he put spurs to his horse, and
I, turning to look, saw him ride full
gallop to the edge of the moat and
leap in, while the shots of our party
fell thick round him like hail. With
one CLEAN of moonlight we should
have riddled him with balls, but in the
darkness he won to the corner of the
castle and vanished from our sight.

 This is true because this class of securities, when selected with care, return at present prices, from 5 to 6 per cent, on the money invested, and because they increase in value from year to year, due to the nat ural growth of the cities and com- munities in which these properties are located.
