Elmer Wound came in from Ne
braska last week and put in a few
days with his friends aud relatives.
zoe Powell of Odessa transacted
business here last Friday,
Mrs Zjda Seawell OF Warrensburg
is visiting this week with her sister,
Mrs. Albert Tyree.
Last Saturday was surely egg day
in our town. Our merchants got into
an egg war aud it was to the hllt.
One opened at Il cents which sprung
the market. One followed making it
III cents, another put on a little
more war paint and stuck up placard
lit cents and waited results. Soon
the cry went out Is cents per dozen.
1t seems this price was the limit.
"Ltt brotherly love continue"
j. C. Calfee sold the Farmers
Bank and his residence property here
last week to Dan Hoefer of Higgins
vile. The possession of the bank
was given last Friday, Gus Hoefer
of Oklahoma will take charge as soon
as he closes his business where he is
now. Mr.. Calfee took charge of the
Bank of Odessa as its cashier, he
and his brother of St. Louis being
large stockholders in said bank.
Judge Butt is acting as cashier till
the change is made.
We notice that the reporter for the
Kansas City Star about the hail which
fell in Lexington last week says they
were as large as golf balls. The size
of golf balls we know nothing about,
as we never heard of golf being
played in our country. Perhaps the
reporter has played a game some
where and has seen a ball. If so he
is that much ahead of us. We do
not know the size of golf balls. II he
had said ''Highball" we would have
had an idea.
The newly elected town board met
last Friday evening and vas duly
sworn in They elected Otto .Nolte
as chairman, G. H. Radius, city
clerk. The offices of marshal and
collector will be filed lat its next
meeting.
The school board met and selected
r. B. Benning president, aud Judge
Butt vice president. TheI secretary
and treasurer will be selected next
June as they hold their offices until
then.

]. W. Dreyer left for the Pan
Handle country in Texas last Tuesday
morning over the C. & A. If he finds
something that suits him Che may re-
main there.
The good people of Mayview should
wake up from their Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep aud take cognizance of. the
fact that there are men With capital
that want to build electric.slines in
our county making connection with
the C. & A. Railroad. Why do you
not get the public spirit on and be
gin to talk electric line land invite
them here to look what we have and
what we can do.
The 10 a. m. mail and passenger
train on the c. & A. was awrecked in
the cut west of town, near Judge
Butts old farm home. All the cars
we're turned on their sides against
the bank. No one IA seriously hurt.
1t was a mlticle that the passengers
escaped with so little damage. The
wreck was caused by adjective rail.
