Two weeks ago Harris and Lewis were given their trials in federal court, in Joplin, and upon a plea of guilty Harris was given two years and six months in prison and fined Sl, ,000, while Lewis, who did not plead guilty, was tried for complicity and given one year and fined S1 ,000. They will serve their terms at Fort Leavenworth.
 The three brought here this morn- ing-Bertrand, Gregory and Weston pleaded guilty to the robbery of the Clover Bend postotfice, and were given four years each in Atlanta, Ga, pris- on and fined s500.

PARSONAGE COMPLETED
Preachers Home on Main
 Street Comfortably Fitted Up

An addition of two rooms to the Methodist parsonage and good small barn have just been completed and it adds much to the looks and comfort of the preachers home. Will Hartsfeld was the "boss' in building u rooms, and G. ". Jernigan of Sulphur Rock bossed the barn and the preacher as we'll as he could. Ed Wilson and Lou Wilson assisted Mir. Hartsfeld, and Uncle Jimmie Walker helped on the barn. Charley Caldwell gave one days work and Uncle Ben Adams gave full weeks work and stayed with the movement till he had put up two cupbords.
 Last but not least the three commit teemen, T. J. Raney, John Austin and D. C. Lane made good on their side. Tom and John will not be jealous when 1t is said that Doe" kept the thing fred hot' till it was all done. J. w. Walker did the hauling and Will and Bone Lane did excellent work in hauling lumber from the coun- try. John NJ. Magness is credited with the foundation timbers. To one and all the grateful pastor authorizes The Journalto make his politest bow.
 The list of subscriber is not at the reporters command or they would be mentioned.

divorce. Professor Wilcox, of Cor nell, has calculated that, should the present rate of increase of divorce in the United States continue, by 1850 one-fourth of all marriages will be terminated by divorce, and by 1890 one-half. It is not, therefore, an ex- aggeration to say that the problem of the American family is whether it shall continue to exist, for we are ap- parentiy within measurable distance of time when, if present tendencies continue, the family as permanent union between husband and wife, last ing till death, shall cease to be- Charles A.

vival of 1889, following the panic of '37, the discovery of gold in California in l849 the opening of the Colorado mines in 1859, the revival of business in 1869, the era of prosperity which set in in 1879, the boom period of lS89'93, and following the Spanish war. Tt looks as if history would repeat itself in 1909" he concludes. This is the kind of news the country likes to hear, and the figure nine may be assured that it will be given due credit if the omen holds good. There is at least as much justification for prophecy based on lucky numbers as there is for wealth CT predictions based on the wishbone of goose. Exchange.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

A father-not a millionaire-left at his death a number of children and a certain sum to be divided among them as follows: The eldest to receive Sl00 and one-tenth of the remainder: the second child S200 and one-tenth of what then remained; and so on, each child to receive S100 more than the one immediately preceding, and then one-tenth part of that which still re- mained. When.the division took place, it was found that all the children re- ceived the same amount. How many children were there and what sum did each receive?-Ex.

GOOD BUNCH OF PIGS
Borrell Dawson Sells Fifty Head of
 Good Hogs Here

.Burrell Dawson, prominent farmer and stockman of Black River town ship, brought nice bunch of hogs to market Wednesday which he sold to the Newark Lumber Company.
 There were fifty head of the porkers and their total weight was 6,262t pounds, or an average of 1254 pounds each.
 The man who raises hogs for market finds ready sale for them at any time. There is doubtless more clear profit in raising hogs, according to the time, trouble and expense than in any other kind of live stock the farmer can raise.

WANT SALARIES INCREASE
Bill Will be Offered to Increase Salaries of County Officers

To the People of Independence County:
 take this method of stating that I have been notified that inside of 30 days, bill will be presented to this general assembly to raise the salary of five of our county officers, said raise to be s200 each, which of course will be an increase of S1 ,000 per year. The said officers are county judge, county clerk, circuit clerk, county collector and county treasurer.
 It is claimed by the advocates of the proposed bill that the above named officers are not receiving as much pay for their work as such works deserve.
 They ought to be paid more if they are not being paid enough. You are the people to decide that. If you think they ought to have more, tell me so and I will work for it. If you don't think they ought to have more pay, tell me so and I will work against it. These officers are your servants, not mine. You are the people that pay the taxes and I have no right to saddle a burden on you unless you tell me to do so. l am not your master: I am only your servant, therefore 1 seek to know and do your will. Each of cur county officers are my personal friends and I will seek to show them every personal favor that I can, but 1 am here to serve the general interest of my county, and not the private interest of my personal friends. I will not swerve from what I believe is my duty to extend favor to my great-grand- daddy. am here to work with the people and for the people as whole and not IS part.
 The advocates of the proposed bill have stated that they will state their true conditions and give their reasons for asking for said raise in their salary.
 Please read carefully and note what they say on the subject and all of you wko are interested in the matter will please write me your wishes in the mater. When you write please state the amount of taxes you are paying each year that is, your present tax. I want u know how the tax payers feel about it. Don't write great long letter for have not time to read it; ou can write all that is needful to write on this subject on postal card.
 With best of wishes 1 am your friend,

TO MAKE COUNTY DRY
Bill to Prohibit Sale or Manufacture
 of Liquor in Independence County

Representative J. l.. Brown has in- troduced a bill in the legislature pro- hibiting the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors in Independence county.
 The county votes dry by large majority, but the bill is designed to put a stop to the manufacture of liquor in the county.
 Several petitions asking for the pass age ef the proposed law have been sent in from differents parts of the county.
 It is probable that a strong fight will be made both for and against the bill.
