The queer. comical characters seen in
The Missouri Girl are true to life, and
anyone who has visited southern Missou-
n will recognize them at a glance. The
speciahes introduced are, for the most
part, such as are seen in the backwoods
of that state.

The Royal Male Ouartette which en-
tertained large audience Of Medicine
Lodge and Barber county people at the
opera house last Thursday night was
highly pleasing. To those whose tastes
run to vocal music by male singers, the
entertainment was veritable feast. The
readings by Mr.. Henn Boyd were ex-
cellent and were nice variation on the
program. Each of the gentlemen is a
master IN his particular line Of work.
Our neighbor is mistaken. The Index
found fault with the poor service the rail-
roads were giving the county a0hile it
had an advertising contract, and that
is the reason why it lost the Santa Fe's
patronage and good will. Query: If

500 stipend from the Santa Fe, could it
recognize the self-evident fact that the
people Of Barber county are now getting
the "bummiest' railroad service since the
6rsa track was spiked2.
