John Barker was down from Wood
ruff, Kan, Tuesday on business con-
nected with renting of the old Barker
building here. John thinks it is quite
coincidence that he and Amzi Had
den wrote their adieus at the same
time last week though neither knew
the other was quitting. About five
years ago both sold their respective
papers here and wrote their farewells
the same week Mr.. Hadden went to
Wisconsin and bought a Budget"
(The Ladysmith Budget while Mr..
Barker went to Kansas and started a
new Budget. =" Last week both
resigned editorial charge of their
papers and each had an adieu to their
readers, neither of them, as we said
before, knowing what the other was
doing. Some unseen hand must be
shaping the destiny of these two vet
