Old Fools Yet.

A smooth fellow admit =
ting he was past 80, has
been fooling the widows of
three states.
The first one to complain
was Mrs. Jackson of lola,
Kans. She was good look :
ing, had a farm, a lot of
property, four children and
some money.
He gave his name as John
Madison, and claimed to be
a rich California stockman
and orange grove owner. He
needed 81, 600 to pay on a
fine horse he was buying in
Kentucky. The lady coughed
it up. He then had her
meet him in Kansas City to
be married. There he bor-
rowed S4OO more, to buy
tickets to the Golden Gate.
Then he disappeared and
she has no idea where he is.
She went to st. Louis on
some kind of a clew with an
attorney, and W hen her
presence and mission had
been announced, two other
women appeared to console
her, for they, too, had given
up a lot of wealth to Mad
son.
1t is better for widows
who want to marry again, TO
deal with home grown wild =
overs, whose real names
they know, and not spend
their wealth on adventurers.

Gard of Thanks.

To the friends who came to
us in our hour of trouble and
contributed all that human
kindness could suggest. to
help and comfort during the
sickness and death of our
mother, we return most
heartfelt thanks and al.
though such devoted friend
ship cannot remove the sad
memories that linger around
our vacant chair, it brings
into view the brightest side
of humanity, and throws the
pure light of an unsellish
friendship into a darkened
home. May the day be far
distant when those who gath
cred around us will need
similar attention, but when
the time comes may they re-
ceive the same full measure
of generosity and tender
sympathy they brought to
our home when death was
an inmate there.

West Side Railroad.

A representative of the
Southern Missouri railroad
was in Jackson a few days
ago. He was looking over
the survey made some years
ago on the west side of
Jackson. He says that the
Southern Missouri people
are thinking strongly of
coming from IA point on the
road leading from Ste. Gen

and they are looking out a
route on the west side of
city and will run on down

Wants an Oligarchy.

''Let the peoples safety be
the supreme law of the

Here in jackson we have
some alderman, it seems,
that believe the city govern
ment should be in the hands
of a few, in short, if the res
olution is adopted it is paw
ing the way to establish an
oligarchy, "a sort of aristoc- =
racy. The resolution to be
introduced would take us IA
step backward and we be-
lieve that before our alder
men vote on this resolution
they should consult their
constituents in each ward.
If the majority of each ward
or anywhere near the ma
jority talk like they want to
go back to the old way then
our aldermen could make a
move in that direction. We
have not heard the general

The Willard Offering.

The exercises held in the
Methodist church, Sunday
afternoon in honor of the
memory Of Frances f. Will
lard was attended by a good
audience. Miss Roen Il
Shaner presided over the
meeting. The w. G. II. u.
Crusade Psalm was read by
Mrs. c. A. Macon. The
reading by Mrs. Don La
Pierre, "Prohibition, "A Civ
ic Necessity" was very
good. A. M. Spradling
gave a very appropriate and
instructive ad dress on
Frances f. Willard. The
songs by the boys and girls
were well received by the
audience. The quartette by
the members of the Presby-
terian choir was well Sc
lected and well rendered.
AT the close OF the excer-
cises, Miss Shaner made a
few remarks touching on
the w. c. u. U. women
visiting the legislature. She
said this was a bran new
thing, something that never
occurred in Missouri before.
She said that the law max
ers both in the House and
the Senate gave the women
IA very cordial and courteous
reception. Miss 81 an e T.

TWO, lHe uuIllDeT OI dlUer-
men from eight to four, like
it used to be when the city
was village, when it had
neither electric lights, water
works, nor street grades.
The solicitous councilman
of the city's behests who
would introduce this resolu-
tion surely would not ''look
and leap, launch and leave"
those precious though "an-
cient landmarks of the
Fathers. y He would go
back to primordial condi-
tions. He doubtless sees in
so large and unwieldy body
as eiSht councilmen a great
handicap to the city's ma
terial prosperity. The "vul-
gar herd" are surely dis
tasteful to his notion of
what constitutes an ideal
city council.
Is it that so large a body
as eight does not permit
those delightful tete i -tetes,
those cheek by -jowl confer
ences from which come
unity of thought, purpose
and actioni
Is it that only a few-yery
.fe,0-are capable of under
standing the great intricate
and perplexing problems of
municipal administration! Z!
If so, the ideal alderman
must be cellestially endowed
with a small scintillating
spark at least of the "divine
right of kings" as it were,
to fulfill all the demands of
such an office. Such men
are born, not made. "You
can't make "a silk purse out
Of u sow's ear. You have
heard that before.
To rid the council of its
ciphers, supernumaries, or
l-second the motion IN e II
is doubtless a part of the
aim and purpose of the
measure, leaving only those
whose ''souls are on fire"
and whose hearts bleed for
the city's welfare.
If only such men could
have been at the helm
among our ancient burghers,
when the twilight of reason
was slowly tracing the line
between civilization and
barbarism we would not
now be waiting for the mil
lennium of municipal good
government.

These are divisions of the

Oak Ridge have given the

and want as many lines as
possible to come in. This
is an economizing telephone
system. 1t operates at 25c

cheaper than any other sys-
tenn. This is the thing for
all farmers to have. Come
