In 1916 the town of Old Frank
lin was laid off on the Missouri
River, opposite the present site
of Boonville. Fifty acres OF land
were donated for site, two acres
were reserved for a public square,
and the streets were made 81 feet
wide. 1t was the first American
town founded in Missouri, and
was the home Of some of the
most eminent Missourians, Ham,
ilton r. Gamble, Abiel Leonard,
Lilburn w. Boggs, Benjamin
Reeves, Claiborn F. jackson,
John F, Ryland. Duff Green, Ben
Holiday, David Todd and many
others OF equal eminence. Here
was established, April %, 1919,
the first newspaper published
west of st. Louis, The. Missouri
Intelligencer and Boon's Lick
Advertiser. The Santa Fe trial
commenced at Old Franklin, but
was transferred to Independence
and Westport in 1925, when In
dependence was founded. From
1923 to 1926 the population Of the
town was between 1000 and |, 100.
Soon after 1926 the river began
to encroach upon the town and
soon the entire site was swept in
to the river. All that now res
mains Of the town. Is the old grave

Judge Evans FEumor..

In a series Of speeches deliver.
ed in the northern counties of the
state last week, Judge VIM. N.
Evans, Democratic candidate for
Governor, revealed a keen sense
of humor at the expense of the
Republicans of Missouri and of
his party opponents.
"One opponent" said Judge
Evans at Chillieothe, declares
that my attitude is amusing to
him. | want to say that IL
amuse him now, | will tickle him
to death before the campaign is
over"
81 yield the floor to the Repub-
licans of Missouri as expert book
keepers" said Judge Evans at
Key!esville. "They found dis
crepancies in the state records
before they ever saw them, which
they cannot now find with all the
hooks in their hands. Moreover,
they are such clever bookkeepers
that they have been able to hide
the identity OF the fellow who
stole SCI, 800 from the sub-treas-
ury in st. Louis in charge Of Re.
publican National Committeeman
Atkins"
"Another amusing feature OF
this campaign, Judge Evans said
at Salisbury, sis that the Repub-
licans have but one man in this
state who is qualified to run for
governor. An accident to Had
ley would create party panic
and leave a headless-yes, al
most a bodyless ticket,'
"Hadley has got more adver.
tising" said Evans at Gallatin,"
and less results than any attor-
ney-general Missouri ever had.
Touted as a trust buster, he has
never scored a single conviction
ncr put dollar of fines in the
treasury while he had four more
assistants than his Democratic
predecessor, who by the way,
paid more than the salary and
expense of his department back
into the treasury in fines collect
cd from the meat and insurance
trusts during Crows term"
"Some of my opponents" said
Evans at Hamilton" say my
candidacy will create discord and
they cry harmony, harmony.
That sort of harmony means that
| lie still while the elephant
tramps on me. II to oppose a re-
turn to the old regime Of Sunday
saloons, police politics, ballot
box stuffing and grating bosses
in party discord, then am not
for harmony at such cost"
