A Large Amount Of Money Being
Brought Into Audrain at This

dollars into circulation In the county.
In addition to the large amount of
corn being brought to other stations,
from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred loads have been brought to
Mexico every day during the last

forty bushels to thgilUxds&5 ffty cents
per bushel amounts TO 5000 per day

farmers got forty-five cents a bushel
their oats and fifty cents for their

Excalsior Society Notas.

The Excelsior Literary society met
Jan. rs, 1908, for the quarterly election
Of officers. However, before the cleo
tion the quarterly papers 1.-THE Excel
sior Lemon Advocate and the SEX
~celsIor News" edited by Charles @.
Libler and Mildred Johnson were
read.
These papers reflected the spirit Of
the school In a very creditable manner
and we're thoroughly enjoyed by all.
While the JOKES were good, the
editorials were far better Perhaps the
best article was a short treatise on
the initiative and referendum sub
mitted by Poole Harrison. The
Advocate" is also indebted to Chalsia
Crews for a good article.
On account OF the length OF the
program 1t was thought best to divide
the Freshmen and S~ophomores and
hereafter have two separate societies.
The following officers were elected
by the Sophomers for the next quar-
ter.
Anderson Gibbs, President; Charles
Sanford, Vice President; Eva Miller,
Secretary; Grace Hatcher, Treasure;
Rachel VIM, Sergeant.
The office OF reporter was created
and Charles Liebler appointed to fill
1t

the great change that has taken place

In Memory Of Mrs. Tursey Benpett.
Mrs. Tursey Bennett passed away
on the nth, Of JAN, al 7 p. m, after
an illness Of two weeks duration,
though her health has been much
infleebled by the infrmaties Of old
age. She was the daughter of J.. G..
and Matilda Hisey, and vas a native
Of qreenbriar Co., Va. Had she
lived to the date OF February l9tb,
1908, she would have been n years
Old. Her husband, Elijah Bennett,
preceded her TO the grave 10 years
ago. Her sister, Mrs. Virginia Holt
Of Hatton. Mo, survives her, and is
the last Of the old Risey family. Mrs.
Bennett leaves fous children to mourn
her departure, namely. Austin, Alfred
and Jaw and Mrs Mollie Bishop Of
Saline, county. Her funeral services
were conducted at her residence,
where she has dwelled for the past 40
years, by Rev. Wallace. Her
favorite hymns were sung at funeral.
and grave. Mrs. Bennett was willing
and anxious for the hour to come
when she would be released from this
tenement of claYn and you'd be In
the presence Of her Lord whom she
often said she was ready TO meet. She
longed to ''Cross the Bar" and meet
her Pilot. She talked often of her
burial lot which she could see plainly
from her residence. She has always
been an active business woman, and
very devoted to her home and sons
but when the inhrmities Of old age
begun to bear down heavily on her
she would say that ahe no longer car
ed to live as she could no longer be
useful, and longed to join the "innum-
cradle throng.n
Truly q noble, good woman has
gone. The pail bearers we're Messrs.
Canterbury and Turner, Drs. Fritts
and McFarlane and Rev. and Lawyer
Edmonston. Just as the western sun
