OBITUARIES
Uncle EnOch Lair.

The deceased was one of Ere
mont County, Missouri's, Oldest
settlers. He has passed to the
great beyond.
Sunday evening just as the
shadows were frightening at the
ending of the day all that was
mortal of our beloved aged citi-
zen Enoch Lair passed to the
great beyond and his soul waited
away into the great mysteries of
the life everlasting.
Few men in this life reach the
extreme age of ninety years and
pass through a life so full of
great experiences a S has Mr..
Lair. 1t was one of the great
est pleasures to engage him in
conversation and only a few
weeks ago while he was on one
of his trips from town back to his
home it was our great pleasure
to take him by the arm and as
sist him on the way. Even
though weary and weak with ex-
IRENE age he delighted to con-
verse about important things of
now or things or happenings in
the past. Always a man of very
strong convictions and Ike e n
mind and strong judgment, he
seemed to get all of Importance
that transpired around him and
in the expression of his views
one was convinced by the sound
sense of his utterances.
He has been the especial
charge of his daughter, Matte
Lee A. Lair for several years
and has received from her kind
and loving hands the greatest
possible care and loving atten-
ton.
He has been a familiar figure
about our streets until the last
few weeks, since which time his
strength has gradually weaken
ed and his vitality failed, and
in passing it seemed as though it
was the passing of one long,
bright peaceful day..
A life we'll rounded out into
perfect usefulness and prime
worth and the ripest experience
of the extremely aged and in his
removal, he will be missed from
the community as one who was
a prominent factor in the history
of Fremont county.
Enoch Lar was born in Adair
county, Kentucky, Feb. 18th,
1918. When he grew to man.
hood h e was made a Master
Mason at Centryville, Mo. He
came to Fremont county in 1863
and settled on farm in Madison
township four miles east of
Hamburg where he lived several
years.
Uncle Enoch, as he was famil-
larly known, was prominent in
all public affairs of an early day
in Fremont county. He was in
strumental in the building of the
Mt. Olive Church three miles
east of Hamburg. He was for
several years a deacon in that
church and also superintendent
of the Sunday School there.
He later moved to Hamburg
where his daughter. Matte Lee
A. Lair, taught in the public
schools. Seven years ago when
she was elected County Super

SCHNITz UND KLASE.
Treat the Gods Missed, but ProcurabIs
 In tho Mohawk Valley.

| IH tho mohaWk VdiIey.
 Something in the line of good things to eat the gods never had; consequently the gods missed a great treat. And by the way, friend, have you ever hooked up to dish of schnitz und klase?
 No? Thought so Few have in these times, and those who have been Sc fortunate have just cause to recall a delicious morsel time can never erase from the tablets of memory. You can order schnitz und klase until you faint, famished, awaiting 1t. You will never get 1t in any public eating place. It isn't on the bill of fare and never will be.
 The up to date chef would give you the laugh if you asked him to concoct It for you. Ten chances to one he'd not understand what schnitz und klase could possibly mean. Few know, but those who do know it know it we'll.
 A good hig ham bone is the central portion, light dumplings and dried ap- ples. Anything else would spoil It.
 The ham bone gives the dish a smoky flavor, the dumplings give it body, and the dried apples give it color and tartness as well as sauce.
 Put the ham bone in cold water and open the fues and let the pot boil. While the pot is getting into good and ready shape make your dumplings, and make them as light as possible.
 Put the dried apples In a separate dish and stew them down to a nicety. When the pot with the ham bone bub- bles ana froths drop in the dumplings one by one. No; you do not stir the contents of the pot. That would spoil the consistency of the dumplings and make mess.
 Any one who has watched pot boil knows when dumplings are done to dot.
 Take a deep platter, fish out the dumplings carefully with drain spoon and place them about the ham bone in the center of the platter. Looks dry, but when you pour over all the dried apples and their nice sauce-wow!
 That's schnitz und klase as you may have had 1t years ago when living with a German family in the Mohawk valley. You can eat it until your eyes ,tart out and your waistband grips your middle. It will stay by you through hard days work, and if Ahere is any left over you hit 1t again for supper cold.

!, AMERICAN BAND DANCES Will be Held in Buckingham Music
 Hall Saturday Evenings,

The announcement that Fulton s American band will hold dances in Buckingham Music hall on Saturday evenings during the coming season was something of a surprise. Since the opening of the hall very few re- captions and dances have been held there because of the heavy expense in connection with the holding of a social event there. But Leader Full ton and his musicians are of the opinion that if a strictly first class dance is offered to the public there will be no difficulty in making these socials success in every way. It was something of task in itself for the band to secure the hall, the management being assured that the dances would be conducted on stan dard in keeping with the hall.
 Speaking of the coming dance MT Fulton says: We are going to con- duct this affair in manner which will make 1t worthy of the Bucking- ham, the finest concert hall and dancing floor in the city. The dance will take the form of a sociable and will be conducted in such manner and attended by such people that no parent can fear to allow the presence of either son or daughter. The band will give short concert programme and the music for the dancing will be of the most up-to-date. We want the patronage of all the people in the city such as the programme, hall and music are worthy of. People who like dancing, who like good music and desire the society of their friends in dance hall conducted un- der the laws of propriety are the people to whom we will cater for our dance and social next Saturday even ing. In other words the American band will give a, dance totally out of the ordinary run of public dances in the city and no objectionable persons will be admitted"
 Every fifth lady who attends the concert and sociable Saturday even- ing will receive a complimentary ticket.

That George L. Lilley will receive the republican nomination for gov ernor is now generally conceded. He has certainly demonstrated that he can play the game of politics thor oughly and we'll. It Is also appar- ent from the large number of dele gates that he has secured that he is not as unpopular as his political enemies would like to have the puD- lie believe. One does not have to be Lilley man to give him credit for having made such good showing.-- Naugatuck News.

SAWYER REPLIES TO SMITH
More About That Pleasant Hill Poll.
Asserts There Was No Connection
Between 1t and the Union.

Editor Dawson News; | see in the
last issue of The News that Mr.
Smith of Bronwood seems to not like
the poll for governor which was
taken at the meeting of the Farmers
Union at Pleasant Hill. He said that
| it was unfair, and that peoples
names were taken down who didn't
know that a poll was being taken.
! stated in my letter to The News
that no mans name was taken down
without his consent except one, and
| his brother said he would vouch for
him. These are the facts, with wit
nesses to back them up.
| Mr.. Smith says l didn't contine
myself to people present. | did, sir,
with the exception of one. And be-
cause a man was not a resident of
this county was that any reason why
| | should not have taken his name
down? There were a lot of men
there who were not Union men, and
some who could not belong to the
| Union if they wanted to. | was not
polling Union men altogether, and
had no intention of converting the
meeting into a political meeting, not
withstanding what Mr.. Smith says.
Mr.. Smith, the people at large
would not have known where the
meeting was nor what kind of meet
ing it was if you had not told them.
Just feel assured of the fact that you
exposed it.
This poll was not taken in the I'm
ion meeting. 1t was taken as the
people gathered and at noon before
we went into session. | could not
see any harm in it then, and do not
now; and there was none.
The Farmers Union is not going
into politics, nor do we allow such
to come before the Union. But |
think the people of the county ought
to take a stand in such and study
| the principles and issues of every
man who runs for an office, so as
to know how to cast his vote. This
is just what our ring politicians want
you to do-sit back and say nothing
and take no hand. | am glad the
people are waking up to their rights,
! for the better government we have
| the better Union we will have.
| | do not want to see the Union go
into politics, and will always do all
in ny power to keep politics out of
/ the Union.
Hoping that this will satisfy the
people that the Union is not taking
any stand in politics, and regretting
| that Mr.. Smith made the statement
he did, am yours for the Farmers
Union, ENOCH SAWYER.
