| county, Missouri, across the river
sides a farm north of Topeka, own a
| 800 acre tract four miles north of
the site of the proposed city. The in
terurban trolley which will run
through the new city to st. Joe and
| Excelsior Springs, has been surveyed
through the Boast land.
| 1t is thought that the building of
the new city will increase the value
of the farm for which it is said $780,
| 600 has been offered and refused
The place is also interesting from
other StandpointS. 1t was originally
| owned by a southern family who kept
| slaves. The ruins of the slave quar-
ters still remain. The house which
the tenants occupy is said to be so
years old. 1t is built after the old
| fashioned southern style.
The death of Mrs. Garry Nation. the
Cured last night recalls the fact that
Mrs. E. V. Ashmore's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. r. B. Young, were from
Mrs. Nations birthplace in Woodford
county. Kentucky. Il heard Mrs.
Nation in lecture say that her home
was in Woodford county, said Mrs.
Ashmore this afternoon IT afterwards
met her and told her 1 was from the
same place. She told me that she had
often heard of my people"
To fish or not to fish?
That is the question. 1t haunts the
people on the North side when they
have day off this hot weather.
Whether it ia better to take hook,
line and pole and sit on the cool banks
of Soldier creek or to spend leisure
time in the home backyard under the
shade of the old apple tree.
To catch fish or to buy them?
Aye, there's the rub. For there is
many 2 slip between the fish and the
frying pan. And who would fardelS
bear and endure the sings and ar
rows which outrageous fortune hands
out to fishermen if not for the hope
that the neighbors would believe the
fish stories told and trust that the
fish were caught and not bought?
Yes this is the season of the fish
erman, both on Soldier creek and at
the grocery and butcher shop.
At the creek, the three bridges is
one of the favorite spots and nearly
every day ten pound or bigger car
fish is reported to have been caught
near that place. The shade afforded
in the shadow of the bridges is an
ermen.
And whether they catch big fish,
little fish or no fish, a days fishing
affords relief and relaxation. Here's
