Children's Dav Services Sunday
at Collierstown

GdKefff Cof1SDoHdeHcf
July 5.-The Fourth Of July was
celeb. ated yesterday at the Methodist
church, It being children's day. We
learn that the exercises were fine but
owing to the lack OF seating capacity
nearly half Of the people were debarred
from witr essing the scene. No servi-
ces were held at the Presbyterian
church, that congregation uniting with
the Methodists. Songs and recitations
by the children, addresses by the pas
tor, Rev. G.. W. Staples and DR.. G.. B.
Hanrahan Of the Presbyterian church,
constituted the program. Mrs. Gerda
Wade was organlst. The decorations
were pretty.
A dwelling house owned By Mr.. Luz
clan Armstrong and occupied by Mr..
Chas, Reid near A. w. Morrison's
store, was burned down yesterday (Sun.
day) about II o'clock. 1t is thought
by those who were at the scene that
the ire originated from defective flue.
All the house property was saved ex-
cept few small articles.
The hail stricken section OF June 8th
Is rapidly getting on a new dress In
the way OF vegetation and the people
are in better spirits, they realizing the
fact that what was destroyed could not
be replaced only by the great Ruler
who giveth and taketh away at his
own good will. Corn that was raised
and clipped off just above ground is
making wonderful progress.
Al yet the path Of the storm Is very
perceptible and can be seen for miles
reaching from the top OF TIE mountain
to down low In the valley, having APP
pearance of burnt forest. Despite
the many heavy rains and the intense
heat OF the past three weeks the hall
was plentiful here until the first Of july
when the last vestige disappeared.

NEW YORK.ATLANTA ROUTE
FOR AUTOMOBILES

Interest is developing in the
automobile route from New York
to Atlanta, Another scout car is
to PASS through the Valley of Vir'
ginia in the interest Of the selec-
ton of the beautiful Shenandoah
Valley as the most available route
between these two cities. 1t is said
the party left New York last Sat-
urday.
Two routes south from New
York to Atlanta seem preferable TO
others. One is from New York via
Washington. Richmond, Raleigh
and Columbia. Special effort has
been made by the Times-Dispatcb
of Richmond and the Post of Wash
ington TO make practical this route.
These two enterprising journals
have had o scout car traversing
this route, but news reports are to
the effect that the roads were
simply impossible in some regions
by reason of mud aud other i'm.
pediments. The two papers most
interested in the oapital-to.capital
route have come to the conclusion
that the route will have to be
abandoned.
The other route is the one from
New York via Philadelphia,
Hagerstown, Winchester, Stsun-
ton, Lexington, Natural Bridge,
Roanoke, thence to Atlanta. This
route furnishes from Harrisburg,
Pa, to Stanton, Va, the best
pixies in the country for automc.
blles. Along this route tourists
will have an opportunity of visit
ing the celebrated battlefelds of
H~..y~hn-n md Anti0tam I4nrnu
Caverns and Natural Bridge. The
roads as far south as Staunton are
hard and smooth, the grades ex.
tremely slight and the hotel &C.
commodations comfortable. From
Staunton to Buchanan, q distance
of about sixty miles, the roads are
passable, though not as good as
the Valley Turnpike; they are,
however, hard dirt roads. which
in ordinary weather can be made
without delay or discomfort. From
Buchanan to Roanoke, q distance
of thirty miles, the roads are ex-
cellent.
Roanoke is making special ef-
forts to secure the route through
the Valley thence via that city.
A meeting of the citizens OF the
Magic City was held Friday last
and steps taken by a number Of
business men to exploit this route,
hoping thereby to secure favorable
action on the part of the New York
and Atlanta men having the enter.
priee in hand.

Heavy calves bring $4.25 to $550, veals $500 to $750, Colder weather will benefit the market on killing stuff, and pros poets look good for markets through December.

 Sheep and lamb supply is mo- derate, and the market is firm, 15 to 25 higher this week. Very little stuff is coming from the range country, and such as is coming is generally thin stock, suitable only for the country. New Mexico feed ing lambs sold at $5.75 to $6.25 this week, and heavier feeding lambs up to s675. Fed stock is in very good flesh now, and lambs bring up to $7.65 this week, year lings up to $6S0, some fed year lings weighing no tb to-day at $6.55, wethers at $5.50 and ewes $500.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 8, 1909.-I Cattle receipts here this week were liberal, and contained almost as many shipments direct from the range country as have been coming heretofore. Fed cattle are coming a little more freely, as cattle have done we'll in the feed lots during the mild weather we have had, and owners fear the actual beginning of more severe winter weather. The market was 10 higher Monday, and Tuesday, but there has been quite a break in prices of native fed steers since Tuesday, account of the liberal number of that class in- cluded. Range cattle have held about steady, and cows. bulls and calves are stronger than a week ago. Beef steers from the noun tain districts are selling this week at $465, weighing up to 1900 b, stockers and feeders from all over the range country bring $4.25 to $5.00, about as high as at any time before this fall, mountain COWS $3.85 to $4.35, a few head up to $4.60, and canners $2.75 to $3.35. Texas and New Mexico COWS are selling at $3.15 to $3.35. Texas and New Mexico COWS are selling at $3.15 to $3.60 this week, fea- ture sale being that of three hun
