NEAT-BURTON.

Last Wednesday, the first day
Of January, 1908, Mr.. John F.
Neat Circuit court clerk of Adair
county, was married to Miss
Annie Burton, daughter of Mr..
John Ed Burton, Vester. 1t was
a quiet affair, only relatives and
a few special friends being pres
ent.
Mr.. Neat is engaged in the
mercantile busintes in the neigh
borhood where he married. He
is quite popular in the locality,
and it is said that he is doing a
lucrative business. The bride is
said to have been a favorite
among her associates, who will
greatly miss her from the young
society circle.
1t is our understanding that
the couple will go to house-keep-
ing, and will reside near Vester.
We trust that this union will be
a blessing to the contracting par
ties.

serious accident during the holi-

touched the fuse, threw one out.

thinking the fuse had died, young

cracker, and just as he did so,
it exploded, tearing his hand in a
fearful condition. It required

up the gap.

THE SCARCITY
OF MONEY.
What Will Bring About Better Times
in Adair County.
PUSH YOUR TRUCK TO MARKET.

The scarcity Of money in circu-
lation has been the IMMERSED cry
throughout Adair county for the
past three months, and while the
banks have come In for their
share of censure for refusing to
loan funds at this particular
time, the farmers, the stock
dealers, lumber and stave hand
lers have had much to do with
the stringency in the local money
market. Every thing in the way
of stock is low, as is also lumber
and slaves, and there is nothing
at this time to indicate that
prices are going to advance soon.
Money is something the people
can not well get along without,
hence natives will have to move
out their truck at market prices.
Perhaps sacrifices will have to be
made, but would it not be better
to sell at the market price than
to continue to hold, not knowing
when better prices will make
their appearance? Corn is now
selling at $500 per barrel. There
are many hogs in the county, and
to continue to feed them three
dollar grain, to us it seems,
would be a losing business. Sell
your swine and invest your
money in something else. The
same can be said of the lumber
and slaves now stacked in the
county. We once knew a mer-
chant who had an auction sale
every month here in Columbia
and he told the writer it paid him,
from the fact that he got rid Of
his hard stock, turning the
money into articles that would
sell. Of course he sold at auction
for less than actual cost, but he
was reimbursed by investing in
fresh good, goods that were in
demand.
Hence we believe that the
stock, lumber and slaves in the
county should be placed upon the
market. If this step was taken.
it would be but a few weeks I'M
til money would be plentiful and
a moving spirit would be seen
throughout the county of Adair.
Try it.

 ''The receipts during the first half of December have been Of a lower character: considerable strict low middling, mtdcling, and tinges have been received and put on the market. Sales during the first half of December have been light.
