As II Used 10 Be.

lDrovers' Telegram, Kansas City,
A. S. Pruitt, of Lead Hill, Ark, is
regular patron of this market.
Mr.. Pruitt is one of the pioneer
farmers of Boone county. He fire.
queutly refers to the old fashioned
way they had of marketing stock in
that state before they had any rail
roads.
He distinctly remembers the time
when there were no railroads in
southern Missouri and none IN Ark
ansas, outside of a short line over
in the east side of the state several
hundred miles from his place
ave had to drive our hogs to
Little Rock, a distance of 100 miles"
said he. Now if anyone ever drove
hogs that far they we'll know what
a job it is. Eight miles a day was
considered good. SO YOU can very
readily ngure out how long it would
take to make the trip one way,
We would be gone a full month on
one of those trips provided we had
good luck. remember one stretch
of country over which we drove our
hogs, where there was no farm
house for almost twenty miles. This
made it very difficult, as we had to
depend upon the farmers along the
way to keep us and feed us when
night came on.
If a hog became lazy on us we
often had to butcher it, and trade
the meat off to the farmers for lodg.
ing. So you see what a slow way
we had of doing things At Little
Rock steamboats, landed, and from
there the hogs or the meat, after
they were dressed, wee shipped
down the river. Now we have pass
ing through Boone county two
railroad lines, and each year large
number of both cattle and hogs are
shipped to Kansas City. We can
ship up here about 800 miles and
get home in a few days, while it re-
quired a month to make the trip in
the old way when we drove across
the country in early days.

Card OF Thanks.

To the friends who came to us in
our hour of trouble, and contributed
all that human kindness could sug-
gest, to help and comfort, we return
most heartfelt thanks, and although
such devoted friendship cannot re-
move the sad memories that linger
around our vacant chair, it brings
into view the brightest side of hui
manity, and throws the pure light
of an unselhsh friendship into a
darkened home. May the day be
far distant when those friends who
gathered around us will need similar
attention, but when the time comes
may they receive the same full meas
ure of generous aid and tender sym
pathy they brought to our home
when death was an inmate there.

A Great Time.

\ The writer enjoyed the distinction
ofbeing an invited guest at the Hale
Hotel, of Valley Springs, Ark, on
Sunday, January Sth, which event
was to celebrate the Goth wedding
anniversary of our much honored
and much loved countryman, Uncle
Dan Fullbright. who though 81
years old, is hale and hearty and by
odds the heaviest man in the crowd,
weighing 206 lbs.
Uncle Dan enjoys amongst other
distinctions, that of being pupil of
the Rev. Alexander Campbell, who
was, without question, a great
character.
We all arc indebted to Uncle Dan
for the many kindnesses shown us.
Not only we ourselves. but nearly
every public institution in our com
munity has felt his influence in more
wavS than one. Even on this mem
orable day, he was seen to press a

would be found in the harness; and
another in which he he acknowl-
edges the fact that good habits"
are conducive to longevity
Mrs. Hale, our esteemed hostess,

demonstrated to us that she is thor
oughly acquainted with the culinary

Circuit Court Closes.
Remarkable Record Of 327 Cases Disposed
OF In Nine Days

Boone Circuit Court adjourned
Wednesday after a session of nine
days during which three hundred
and twenty-seven cases were dis
posed of, leaving but twentv-three
cases, civil and criminal, on the dock
ct as continued.
The 2l4 cases against the NJ. & n.
A Railroad for failing to maintain
legal fences were compromised by
the road pleading guilty to five
cases, in which the fines and cost
aggregated $56l 40, and the prose
cutting attorney entering nolle
pros in the balance. This adjust
ment seemed to be satisfactory to
the railroads attornees, and re-
lieved the court of series of trials
which would have been costly and
IN which the issue would have been
altogether doubtful

and X. W. Milum were appointed
Jury commissioners. and doubtless
