The Auxvasse Review prints the
following item:
j. w. Mackay, out on route
three, was in town Saturday aud
told of a mule sale that beat any
thing we have heard OF in many a
day. Recently he purchased a
pair Of 2-year.old mules well match
ed aud foe as fiddles OF Ed. Writ.
Of Randolph county. de after
wards sold them to James Sims,
of Audrain county, for $425. In
turn MIR. Sims sold them to Harri-
son Of Audrain for $43O, and he
sold them to Dean Bros. of the
same county at 1896. All of these
sales were inside of three hours.
These mules have changed owners
FIVE times within 30 days aud each
time they made the seller money,
They are of the good kind aud
cheap at the money. II is thought
that they will raach the 5000 mark
as they are considered by mule
judges to be the best pair OF 2 year
old mare mules in the state. Ia
the matter Of quick aud rapid mul,
deals wa should say, my, my
isn't that going some.

EDITOR MESSAGE: Have reach
ed my destination all o. X. in the
noted Sun Flower State. Every.
thing looks fine in way OF wheat,
corn aud hay.
To give an idea Of the country,
one can stand aud look across the
rolling prairie and see at a distance
OF ten or fifteen miles, and see
haystacks standing which harvest
ed from to IA tons per acre.
Farmers busy now cutting their
second crop of clover.
1t is nice, too, to see the corn
tsssel that has come aud gone and
has left a yield of from 25 to As
bushels per acre. Kansas has not
au average crop this year. as it was
very cold in the spring and too
much rain in the crop season.
Hitching mp aud driving to my
farm Saturday afternoon could see
the prairie chickens flying across
the fields and the quails hovered
in the hedges as ifthey were hunt
ing a place for home, as winter is
drawing near.
In driving II distance OF six miles
| think a person could have count
ed hundred or more. Mr.. Jack
rabbit can be seen occasionally,
too.
We drove Sunday afternoon out
to the gas we'll, which is about 8
miles from my farm, which was
just finished and capped Sunday
morning II is claimed that it is
a fifty million footer or better. The
little town OF Colony of 800 inhab.
itants could not use this much per
day the coolest that ever swept
the country, but Colony does not
need this we'll as it already has gas
connections in every house in town.
1t is somewhat strange to me to
see the street light burning all
day, as gas is only Is cts. per thou.

lamps burning than to hire a lamp
lighter.

Liquor is Costly.

The Farber Forum last week,
speaking regarding the coming
contest for local option in this
county, makes the following timely
observations:
Eliminate the saloon from Au-
drain Co. aud enforce the statuets
and the criminal casts of the coun-
Is will be reduced to half what it is
today, or nearly SO. The best in
formed lawyers OF Audrain, while
they get rich fees in the prOsecu-
tion aud defense OF these cases,
readily admit that this is so.

dor the last meeting. That it
should burn such II large hole aud
then die out was rather strange.
Killings, says the Bowling Green
Times, have put two saloons out
of business in Pike county within
the last six months. Ben +. Todd
killed a man at Clarksville aud
this put the saloon business ia dis
repute aud closed the doors 0f the
saloon in which Todd was clerking.
Stout, while drunk on whisky sold
him by MeGeorge who was pro-
prietor OF the saloon at Ashburn.
killed McGeorge and was killed by
some unknown person aud this will
close that saloou-leaving only one
saloon outside Of Louisiana.

They Made Merry.
klamath Falls, Ore.

A "Gaest" in the Ceutralia
Courier penned the following last
week:
About 35 friends of Mrs. T.W.
Carson assembled at her home near
Rowena Oct. 81, 1907. without in.
vitation or consent of the lady aud
proceeded to display the good things
they had brought until the table
fairly groaned with their weight
and was not enough room for the
proverbial "One more" thing. 1t
being Monday Mrs. EarsOm was
in the midst Of a big days work OF
house cleaning, but when the IS
bombarded her home she simply
went into the parlor and let them
have full sway. Mrs. j. DickersOu
was voted the heartiest eater aud
innOeently remaked that she hadn'l
had anything to eat. Mrs. James
McGowau was voted the biggest
talker. and so the hours quickly
passed away with conversation,
music. song aud laughter until the
time came for our departure. AL
went away wishing Mrs. carson
90 more birthdays as pleasant a
her tittieth anniversary was. Sh'
was the recipient of many beauti
ful presents.

FROM OREGON.
A Former Audrain
County Lady Tells
About ':.The
Fair

EDITOR MESSAGE. AS | had the
pleasure of attending the fair OF
klamath CO., Ore, a few DAYS
ago thought perhaps the many
readers of your valuable paper
would like to know how the cele.
bration are carried on in the far
West.
Although Kalmath Falls is still
10 infancy, il can boast Of as good
display of vegetables as any state,
that is, in quality, perhaps. not in
quantity, as one great feature in
this country is its variation OF soil.
While parts of soil are dark aud
loamy, it isvery productive. 9th &.
er places are covered with alkali, a
kiud of magnesia aud saud.
Cabbage, three heads weighing
one hundred lbs. turnips as large
as a water bucket, potatoes, beets
aud celery are perfect; also onions
aud squash.
The fair is conduted similar to
those of Easten States, with the
addition of broncho riding. aud
girls races. While the celebration
only lasted three days there was
enjoyment for Il year. The wealth
er was delightful. with the sun to
shed his warm rays during the day
and the moOm her sweet silvery
light at night. The air warm aud
hazy.
Most all classes of people are
represented, some coming many
miles to enjoy The festivities.
There are a great many Indians
here, and it does one good to see
them enjoy the merry. go-round.
A simple, free-hearted, happy go
lucky people.
The very air is filled with mirth,
mingled with laughter, music, call
of shows till the sun is far behind
the hills; then comes the man with
hot tamolie, whose cry is heard
till midnight, whenlall return home,
weary, anxious to fall in sweet re-
pose, many to count what nichels
and not few, no doubt, to gaze
into empty purses.
AS one would stroll along the
streets now. the impression would
be received Of our town settling
dow n for a long aud dreary winter.
Your paper is a welcome visitor.
Altho a week old, the Benton City
items are always first sought.
Respectfully.
Mrs. Dors Aten.

Would Vote 'Em Down.

follows:
The Mexico MESSAGE quotes
Editor Davault, of the Farber For
um, rs saying that he is in favor
of local option, and that he thinks
that it the question were submitted
in Audraiu county it would carry.
The Mail, always democratic in
principle, is always ready for the
people to express their will in this
matter, aud believes there can be
but one result of such an election
in this county. aud that would be
the doing away of the saloons.
