The Duly school is distinguish
ed as having lately been recon-

Howard A. Gass for approval. y
Miss Golden Emmerson is the
teacher. She is Que of the
county's hardest working teach
ers. Teachers and pupils and
patrons are urged to attend this
institute, to see somewhat of the
work of the Duly school, and you
can then have your own opinion
| if it deserves the distinction
given it.
To win such approval as men.
ton above there are several
points to be considered. The fol
lowing at least, should be adhered
to: Is the house warm and com
Portable, and are the walls, win
dOws and floors clean? Do tho
windows have shades to regulate
the light and keep out the sun
light? Are there enough small
seats so that the little tots can sit
and let their feet touch the floor
Is the stove in the center of the
room. with a jacket around it sc
that the heat will be more evenly
distributed? Are the OuthOuseE
in a sanitary condition? Is there
a library of well selected books
for both teacher and pupils?
In his request to the teachers
to be at the above institute, Supt
Shobe says: Teachers, brinl
some of the work of. your pupils
along with you, such as maps
note e-books, compositions and 81
forth, that others may see th'
good work being done. Every
body welcome. Come and hell
make the meeting a success"

Mr.. Peases's Clover Crop-Ed.
Moore's Fine Horses.

r. r. Dollins, in New Hope
Ineighborhood, is building new
barn, 24x3O.
j. B. Rutter, south of Mexico,
raised fine crop of corn this
year. He is gathering it into the
cribs lately.
VIM. Biggers of Moberly has
bought a half interest in the Fox
building here, block north of the
G. & A. passenger station, for
$2,5OO.
E. D. Moore, just east of Mex
leo, last week received shipment
Of % head of royalty bred youns
mares which he will fit for sale.
They are the property of 2. G.
Ecton Of Colorado.
The feeders are paying 40 cts.

Eppa F. Elliott, Circuit Clerk

farm south of this city.
The Troy Free Press notes: c.
w. Pease, who owns one of the
finest farms adjoining Mexico,
has seventy acres of clover land
from which he cut the second
crop. The first cutting yielded
him 100 tons, the second about 30
tons. He threshed a portion of it
which yielded him about one
bushel per acre. Mr.. Pease thinks
that clover is one of the best pay
ingcrops as well as finest fertilizer
for the land.

City. sold two cars of fat cattle
on the st. Louis market last week.
The best of the drove sold at
$500.

corn crop on the Robert Luckie

FROM FLORIDA.
George Kabrich Writes Concern
ing That Country and the
People.

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. Is.
Editor Message II am here in
this beautiful country, where the
sun is as warm as in June every
day. Some may think it 10 damp
here, so close to the seashore, but
it is no damper here than in Mex
leo, and not half as damp as it
was there last spring.
M. N. Nelson's brother (the
former ex-Sheriff of Audrain
county, called on me with his
$500 steed and carriage yesterday
and took me riding out in the
country, to his 1000 acre farm. 1t
lies between two railroads, close
to the round house and machine
shops, gas plant and ten acres
covered by the Standard Oil Plant.
l found Mr.. Nelson s farm is nice
land and as rich soil as in the
Ohio Valley. He has one-half
staked off in lots and is selling
them and houses are being built
on them. He paid $40 an acre for
this ground about ten years ago
and he will realize 81, 900 per acre.
He says he was well acquainted
with all the Beals back in Mexico
some years ago.
l have six nephews and nieces
living here and with one of them [
go to some park or place o.
amusement every afternoon.
Rent here in the city is very
high, four times as high as the
same property would rent for in
Mexico.
The greatest sight l have seen
yet was out at the ostrich farm
and menagerie. They have races
with the ostrich, both in sulky
and riding races. They can run
as fast as horse. In riding them
a negro will jump on the bird s
back from a stile and land back o +,
its short wings and holds to the
wings. The cap, or hood, is then
pulled off the birds head and l.
then darts off like a race horse,
without anything to guide it, and
on the homestretch the whip is ap-
piled. These birds can reach up
near 10 feet. Their plumes are
picked every nine months. 1t
thinks when hood is thrown over
its head and it can't see that you
can't see it. They then stand per-
fectly still, but when the hood is
pulled off they dart away at great
speed. They mate at seven years
and if one of a pair dies the other
never mates again. Their age is
so years.
/ went aboard a four-mast ship
here, the largest l ever saw, nearly
300 feet long. Every appointment
perfect and everything grand and
dazzling and bright. [ thought no
wonder the milliOnaires love r.
sale the ocean on them.
l would like to say something
about fishing and something about
the big trees with moss hanging
on them, down so feet to the
ground, and something about th'
game. Fox squirrels dart up and
down the trees. l saw hunter
one day with 90 squirrels that HI
had shot. They sell on the marke
at 12 IL cents each. Space for
, bids saying more.

THE WORLDS END.
A Boozer and Stolen Shoes-D. l..
Frazier's Troubles.

hldl I'LL anu tIOuCludil W w llhlho
here last week, was arrested and
confessed that he was a boozer
and a gambler. Said his home
was in Michigan and he was at
the prize fight at Reno last sum-
mer and lost a big quantity Of
money and then his fall began.
He made such a "clean breast" of
things and besought so earnestly
that he might be given a chance
to get right and quit his meanness
that a certain secret order here,
upon the charges being dismissed
against him, gave him transporta-
ton to st. Louis.
Henry Marshall, in Washington
school district, has a COW that is
too much Of a kicker for his notion
This said cow gave him a kick and
a bad wound on one of his hands
the other night.
George McLoney and Fred
Hathaway of this city are going to
build flying machine. When
they get up in the air there won t
be anything to dodge but the
clouds; the automobile is not fast
enough down here.
Rev. II. /. Cobb says he did
something last week he never did
before, he tied a woman to a
Bush. An item in another part of
this paper explains.
The eclipse of the moon arrived
on schedule time last week, as
the astronomers had figured it
out for us, but the greater number
of us let the event slip up on us
unawares.
Ladies when they come to town
are requested to make free use OF
the Rest Room at the Court House,
but j. d. Miller, the court house
janitor, asks you to be little con-
siderate. 1t is against the rules
to eat crackers and crumb them
on the floor and scatter meat
bones and bologna "peelings'
about that room. Ladies, youl
be thoughtful now, we know.
Dwight L. Frazier, the Rush
Hill telegraph operator, in taking
$95 from a mail pouch at Rush
Hill, fell into an easy trap. 1t was
this way: Registered letters al
Rush Hill were being tampered
with. SO one day last month 2
decoy registered letter containing
bills amounting to $95, all marked
and easily identified, was sent
thru the mails out of Rush Hill
Frazier was arrested and charges
with opening the sack and getting
the money. He confessed hi
guilt when faced with four of thu
marked bills he had paid out. HI
was arrested and was taken to st
Louis and lodged in Jail and is tt

An Interested Reader" says
he has read where a distinguishe.

that the world would come to al
