Gintz was missed. An investiga-
ton revealed that the night before
Gintz had hauled some stuff to the
Gad's Hill station and there
shipped it away. Next morning
he boarded an early train without
saying good bye to anyone. A
number of creditors mourn his de-
parture. Gintz has been making
brooms in the Des Arc country for
some three years past and seemed
to be doing a prosperous business.
He came to Des Arc from Craw-
ford county. 1t is thought he has
gone to Chicago. His mill and
other property he left behind
him is mortgaged.
The Audit and Bond Company,
a concern that audited the books
of several of the officials of
Howell county and found them
'short," must defend a damage
suit brought in Barry county. The
county collector of Barry county
has sued the company for SIC, 900,
claiming that the company, after
examining his books, claimed he
was short in his accounts, when
such is not the case. The Barry
county collector claims that the
report was false and that it was
published for the purpose Of in
iuring him. When this company
made a report and found several
Howell county officials "short,"
the county court paid $500 for the
report and the matter was ended.
The auditing company made sew
eral efforts to get the county to
bring suit against the officials re-
ported to be short, but nothing
has ever been done in this county
in the matter.-West Plains CO.

A terrific wind storm ragged all
day last Saturday and far into the
night. In fact, it was a regular
prairie sweeper-such as is sell
dom encountered in this part of
the country. 1t was a continued
and stirring gale for twelve hours
or more. Notwithstanding the
wind the day was unusually
warm, the thermometer registering
rs degrees in the afternoon. Pret-
ty warm that: 76 degrees Novem-
Der nth. Shortly after night fall
there vas promise of a great
change in temperature. First
there came thunder, lightning
and rain, then sleet and the snow.
Next morning there was a light
coating of the "beautiful" on the
ground and the thermometer was
down to 10 degrees. A change of
66 degrees in about twelve hours.
That's some change, too. Sunday
and Monday were cold, but mild
er weather came Tuesday. The
storm was general throughout the
country and great suffering and
loss of life resulted.
/ went down to the Shut.In last
Friday and with pleasure saw the
near completion of the dam which
is to give US the one crying want
Of the Valley as a summer resort
"a lake. found the labors Of the
builders approaching their end;
that in another ten days the desir-
ed comment, tFinished!" might
be uttered. This is gratifying, but
before the waters may be pent
and confined the road leading
thereto must be reconstructed, for
when the lake becomes a fact it
will submerge a part of the pres
emit thoroughfare. To this end the
management will lend its energies
during the winter, and, Mr.. White
ner himself taking charge, the
work will be vigorously prose-
cuted. The lake is now virtually
an accomplished fact, but the funds
necessary to the construction of
the road are in part yet to be se-
cured. 1t is expected these will be
secured by the sale of member
ships to the Club, and the REGIS
TER hopes and believes local as
sistance will not be found lacking.
The enterprise is most commend
able and ought to receive the sup-
mort of all.
