Harry Patton has not only been
much talked of in Omaha this sea-
son because of his high class
pitching for the Western League
but also because of battenburg
made by him. AS mentioned by
the Republican last winter Patton,
just for a joke, started a batten-
burg design while crippled up
with rheumatism at his home in
Ironton and the art came to him
very quickly. The Omaha SPORT
ing sheets have given Patton con-
siderable publicity because of this
work, running a picture of the
battenburg. Because of this be-
ing an exceptional thing for a ball
player to do he has been consider
ably complimented.-Poplar Bluff

Just a few words to those desir.
ing mason work done of any kind.
The bottom has fallen out of the
prices you used to pay. You can
now have your houses plastered
for 8 cents per yard, two coats,
and your sidewalks, the old style
with cheap John bottoms and a
top one-half sand and one-halt
cement for Z cents per square foot
or the better one for ~ cents a
foot. That Is, made all alike from
the top to the bottom, and no tor
to scale off. Get a good one once
and you won't have to build again
Cellars concerted very reasonable
and other kinds of mason work
such as stone, brick or concrete
foundations, bungalows, chimneys
and cisterns, SO any one can have
a good one and anybody wanting
a square deal call on K. S. Honey.

worth to do your work whether |
do the job or not.
