PALMYRA HOSPITAL.
Looks Like a Suggestion Here for
=. Audrain County.

Palmyra, Mo-, Jan. 1S.-The in
mates of the poor farm were trans
ferred to Marion County's hand
some new infrmary, just COM
pleted here, today. The infrmary
which consists Of six commodiods
pressedbrick buildings, was erect
ed at a cost of $4,000. and equals
in appointments any of the State
asylums.
The buildings contain 100
rooms; are heated with steam;
lighted with electricity and sup
piled with running water There
are numerous bath rooms and
special precaution was taken to
make the building the best posi-
BILE from a sanitary standpoint.
The infrmary is located on a
ninety-acre tract of land, just out
SIDE the city.
There are separate buildings for
white patients, male and female,
and for negroes. There are now
only thirty inmates, but it is ex-
pected to bring here about fifty
mildly-afficted patients, who are
now in other asylums of the State.
Work on the building was start
ed about a year ago.
The Louisiana Times says;
Floyd Reiman, returned to his
home in Mexico, Mo-, yesterday
after a short visit here with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Billie Rel
man.
John Elder of Louisiana brought
the Times editor a hand of his
tobacco Saturday that was about
the first that editor says he ever
saw. John is very much interested
in tobacco business and will put
in twenty-five acres this season
and is figuring on building a to-
bacco barn 80x60 feet.
Doug Burnes of Pike county is
all riled up about having six Of
his fat hogs swiped by some I'M
guided son of Adam, who seemed
neither to fear God or man. Doug
says he will pay $25 reward for
information leading up to the co /
viction of the guilty party and he
means just what he says, so now
is the chance for some Sherlock
Holmes to get busy and make u
reputation. These hogs would
bave weighed $50 pounds and
were ready to go on the market.
John T. Burnes, Doug's brother,
has also lost six hogs he'd like
to get string on, also.
The Louisiana Times tells about
a balky horse on north 9Th ave-
nue. in that town the other day
which caused considerable excite
ment and most everybody took
hand in offering suggestions be-
fore some fellow got it by the ear
and just in the nick of time to
prevent it from backing through
a building which was interrupting
its backward route. This ear
treatment for balky horses is Il
new one on us and in this case IL
worked alright, for as long as the
fellow pulled on the horses ear
he came on the r1gn, way, and
when it was released the animal
either stood still or went back
ward.
