RI. Taliaferro and wife departed
yesterday for Latham. Missouri, where
Mrs. Talaferro will take special med
ical treatment several weeks. They
expect to be gone at least three weeks
and perhaps longer, and will doubtless
have fine time visiting among old
/ friends.
w. B. Clarkson, Democratic candidate
for clerk Of the district court. was up
from Kiowa Saturday to attend the
committee meeting, and to meet the
people In this end Of the county. The
more the voters see Mr.. Clarkson, the
more they become convinced that he
should be elected.
Elias Gibbs and wife returned to their
home at Alva last Wednesday. They
spent month visiting their son, Nv.
Gibbs. and their daughter, Mrs. w. l..
Bragg. and families. in the city. besides
meeting many old-tme friends. and they
enjoyed it. Before leaving, Elias told the
Index to send for him if politics get to
the boiling point. He was here during
the primary election and maintained
order. We may have to send for him.
The Ladies Aid Society Of the M.
E. church have planned a new move
ment that will aid them materially and at
the same time prove a benefit to the
town by clearing the yards and streets
OF all waste paper. They would like
everyone to save all their paper for
them, and committee will call for it.
Please put the brown paper in a sep
arate sack from the newspapers and
magazines.
"Balaam" submits to the Index for pub
LEGATION, an exhaustive defense of himself,
but in the absence of the usual advertis-
ing fee, we can not find room for it. He
isn't complaining so much about having
TO serve time at the old DO ding house
but he is particularly sarcastic in his ref
erence to County Attorney Cloud and
| Judge Miller Of kiowa. You may trav-
Ell the world over but you will never find
another "Balaam.'
Y. c. Sleeper Of Valley has con.
Guided to let some one else do the farm
work and he and Mrs. Sleeper will move
to town and take life easy. They have
not yet decided where they will move,
but the people Of Medicine Lodge are
hopeful that they will come here.
Both MIR. and Mrs. Sleeper have been
in poor health this summer, but they
are now convalescent and with proper
care and not much hard work will be
enjoying good health again.
Elder L. H. Barnum has accepted a
call to preach at Lees Summit, Mo-, a
city of 1000 twenty-three miles south
east Of Kansas City. Elder Barnum
rendered his resignation to the Christian
Church board Of this city on Sunday, to
take effect 90 days hence. The church
Of Lees Summit has made very good
proposition to Elder Barnum and he
could not with justice to himself, refuse
it, We are very sorry to lose Elder
Barnum and wife from the religious and
social circles Of our city but congratulate
them on their good fortune.
Louis Leonard has recently purchased
Bud Halls farm two miles south Of the
city. Mr.. Hall and wife returning to the
ranch in Eagle township. Mr.. and Mrs.
Leonard moved to their newly purchased
home last week. The Index is mighty
glad to know that Uncle Louis and his
good wife have decided to remain here.
When they sold their ranch last spring
their friends feared they would conclude
to move away but that fear has now
been dispelled. There are no better PEG.
pie than MIR. and Mrs. Leonard.
