TOWN AND COUNTRY IN BRIEF

Ella Hancock's millinery opening
next Saturday, March Is.
White Lily flour is better. Try
a sack. Only $1.35 if bought

featured in the advance adver-
tising.
j. H. Dick, proprietor of the

tinue the business. Mr.. Dick will

other business interests.
Miss Ella Hancock Invites the
ladies of Laclede and vicinity to
attend her millinery opening next
Saturday, March 18, III the True
building. She has an unusually
beautiful line of hats and you will
be pleased with them.
The largest car of hay ever
shipped from Laclede and probably
the largest ever shipped out of the
county was car of timothy shipped
by F. W. Gould of Laclede last
week. Forty-five thousand and
ninety pounds, a little more than
22I tons, were loaded into one
car, and, having been raised in
jefferson township, of course il
was good hay.
That the banking house Of Lo-
max & Standby is more than main.
tanning its past popularity is shown
by the financial statement of that
old reliable institution in the BLADE
this week. At the close of busi-
ness March 7 it had on deposit
$114, ,9O9.94, a good increase over
the last report and the best show
ing ever made by a bank in La
clede. Safe and conservative
banking methods have made this
institution better each year since
its organization and it is able to
weather any kind of a financial
storm that may arise.
W. W. Davis of the law firm of
J. M. Davis & Son of Chillicothe
was in Laclede Monday assisting
S. W. TapscOtt IN his settlement
with the railroad company for
damages for injuries received in
the Blackbird brid%o disaster last
December. The company allowed
Mr.. Tapscott $4,000. Bert Nc
Kisson's claim for damages for his
injuries received at the same time
was also settled the same day, Mr..
McKisson receiving $4,000. w.
l.. Matsell of Laclede and Chas.
Barnhart of Sumner, who were in
jured at the same time, have not
yet settled with the company, nor
has Mrs. W. II. Woods. The
three local men mentioned above
are all improving slowly, although
it will be a long time before any of
them will be able to do much work.
Although Mr.. McKisson and Mr..
Tapscott might have recovered
more by taking their cases into
court, they are well satisfied with
the settlement made by the COM
pany.

The wit" department of the
Linneus News had an unusually
brilliant streak last week and for
fear that one or two of our sub
scribers do not take that paper, we
reproduce the part that will in
terest the, people of Laclede and
Jefferson township. In comment
ing on the numerous changes that
have taken place in this vicinity
recently, the News says: Those
that are moving in are probably
unacuuainted with the country so
are to be excused. The leavers are
to be congratulated" Although
the above wit" has been going
the rounds of our exchanges for a
number of years and has been
credited to a large number of
towns in that time, it is unlikely
that the editor of the wit" de-
partment of the News would have
used it if there had been anything
doing in the way of moving at
Linneus, which would seem to
Justify the oft-repeated remark that
Linneus is "a dead one."
