latest newsregarding thedevelop-
ments of Henry county's noted
triplets. Here it is; ."The trip
lets of James Ball and wife, who
live east of town about four miles
we're a year old Thursday. They
are as healthy as any children
of their age and are all pretty
children. When they were born
one boy weighed seven pounds,
the other boy and the girl weigh
ed eight pounds each. Now John
Wallis Ball weighs twenty-four
pounds and has six teeth. He gets
over the floor by crawling. Jerome
McNees Ball weighs eighteen
pounds and has four teeth. He
can sit alone. Julia Geneva Ball
also weighs eighteen pounds
and has four teeth she walks any

raised on cows milk. Mrs. Ball
is ably assisted in raising them
by her daughter, Miss Pearl. !"
While attempting to throw the
clutch on the fly wheel of a gas
oline threshing engine at the Or
vile McConahe ranch near But
Ter, William BARLEY had his fore
arm mangled and torn by the cut
ter keys. Theo. Rounds, who
was running the separator at the
time noticed the accident and
hurried to the side of Mr., Barley.
Handkerchiefs were tied above
the wounds to stop the flow Of
blood. He was hurried to the
McConahe home where he was
attended by several nurses until
the arrival Of the doctor of near
Enid. Everything was done for
the injured man but on account
OF the conditions Of his heart Mr..
BARLEY was unable to sustain the
injuries and passed away at three
O'Clock Tuesday morning.
Everybody loves a tru e
American boy" says the Sherida
Advance, "and a real true one
is the lad who believes in uplift-
ing instead of damaging this
beautiful land of ours, We have
a number of them right here in
our town. The night Of October
81, time that rude acting boys
would have had their so-called
fun, was overlooked by our boys,
and everyone surely appreciated
the way in which the Sheridan
boys treated our little town by
leaving everything strictly in
it's own place."
A professor at the Maryville
Normal School is running a toy
volcano at the school. The vol.
cano is built Of plaster Of paris;
and sugar, sulphuric acid and
nitric acid are poured down the
crater. Then the eruption begins
with clouds Of black smoke and
plenty of "lava." The sruptions
last about five minutes and never
fail to draw crowd. Why go to
Italy when the fare to Maryville
is 60 much less?
Patience rewarded is perhaps
best exemplified in the case OF
Martin Featherstone OF Moberly,
whowent to the polls Tuesdayand
"voted 'er straight. Mr.. Feather
stone is 94 years old. He cas-.
his first vote seventy-two years
ago and as on Tuesday 9TH, he

Van Buren,. He has made the re-
markable record of voting atevery
