Good Reports

Mail order whiskey has received
a sad blow in Wright county. Cir
cult Judge Skinker shows no mercy
to those who furnish whisky to 9TH
ers. The laws are being rigidly en-
fosced, and as consequence Mans
field had a rather dry" holiday
celebration, less whisky being ship
ped in than ever before, so far as
we have been able to learn. No
deputy marshals were needed here
this year as City Marshal Strong,
knowing that the whisky shipments
were light. and knowing by his ex-
perience that if there was but little
whisky consumed there would be
but little trouble-handled the sit
uation alone.
One man remarked, in regard to
local optiQu;.. Going from town
with saloons to one without is like
going from pri2efight to church,
Local option is enforced in Wright
county, and it is certainly good
thing in every way.

K.C.O. & S. to Extend Track

Ava, Mo-, Dec. 21.-An extension
of the railway which connects
Mansfield and Ava for distance of
about 16 miles south to Rome or
Squires has been announced by the
promoters OF the new road and
probably will be begun within a
short time.
Managers and financiers of the
project have been in Ava for several
days working on the proposed line
and have stated that work would be
started as soon as it was evident
that the extention would have the
support of residents along the line
of the survey.
The proposed increased mi)age
of the railway would he of great
benefit to Douglas and Ozark coun-
ties and would greatly increase their
shipments of poultry and dairy pro-
ducts. The company which is be-
hind the project are repured to have
sufficient capital to carry out the
undertaking and probably will an

tension in short time. Springfield

How to Bankrupt the Doctors

is native of Dublin and has serv-

in waters that are under seven diff

trotter and has certainly seen more
of the world in the eight years han
the average man sees in lifetime.
He expects to go from here to Thay-
er and secure work as machinist.
