TO KEEP EASEMENTS FREE FROM WATER

Under the direction of the city
water department the sewer leading
from the basement under the Briley
building on east Main street was
opened up and the water which had
collected there from the bursting OF
a city main under the room occupied
by the Timesett was drained of last
Tuesday. The need of action was
called to the attention of the council
last evening by o. ]. Briley who
stated the standing water was seeping
into the basement of the Neosho
Valley Bank building.
In the discussion Of the trouble the
counclmen agreed and passed q
motion authorizing the water COM
mittee to devise some plan whereby
fixed charge shall be made for the
use OF the clty's old fire hose by
private citizens wishing to have
sewer outlets cleaned. The council
also instructed the health committee
to prevent lot owners from allowing
water to stand in building easements,

AUSTRALIAN BOYS PLEASED CROWD

A large crowd enjoyed the enter
tainment provided by the forty-seven
members of the Australian boys club
at the Hetrick Saturday night as one
number on the Santa Fe Reading
Room course. Besides presenting
some excellent band music the vocal
solo work of the bows was very inter-
tanning. The small chaps who sang
Drummer Boy" and "The little
Shirt that Mother Made for Me-"
especially made a hit with the AUDI
ence,
The second part of the program
consisted in some fancy tumbling by
the boys. During the evening their

Garrard county farmers are already
looking forward to next years tobacco
crop, some beds have already been
burned, and with the advent of fair
weather the entire county will be busy
with the burning of beds and active
preparation for the 1912 crop. The
countynpon the whole realized good pric-
es for their tobacco this year, and this
was due chiefly to the conservatism
exercised in the raising of it, there
was absolutely no houseburn, which
shows conclusively that no man at
tempted to raise more than he could
conveniently handle, and no one at
tempted to put ten acres in a six acre
barn. consequently the crop was proper
ly handled and a better color was Sc
cured, and color was what counted
this year.
Now with the raising of the 1912
crop do not allow the prices realized
for the 1911 crop to be an incentive to
you to ''bite off more than you can
chaw", adopt the same plan as last
year, look more to quality than quaint
ty, and the result will be equally as
gratifying as it has been with the
crop just marketed. In preparing for
the coming crop, weigh well the pos
sibilities of securing labor to care for
it, look carefully to the amount of barn
room at your disposal, and when every
thing has been taken into considera-
ton, then in view of all circumstances,
prepare for just SC. many acres as you
can conveniently and properly handle,
and when the time to market comes,
you will find that your increased quality
Will far overbalance the lack of guam
tity.

Mr.. Williams Enthuses Oklahoma Audi
ence.

A recent issue of the Tulsa (Okla)
Daily World gives an account of an en-
thusiastic meeting. given in the form
of a smoker" which was to celebrate
the securing of several new industrial
enterprises for that live town.. After
speeches by several of the officers of the
Commercial Club, Mr.. w. l. Williams,
our former townsmen, made an address
of which the World had the following
to say
''The program was splendid one.
Judge w. /. Williams, in masterful
address on George Washington" cap
tivated his hearers, and with magni-
ficent display of oratory, rhetoric and
knowledge of history, greatly pleased
the throng- He was loudly cheered at
the conclusion of his speech"
I'm the old days of the west it was
customary when the whites treated
with the indians to smoke the pipe of
peace, these gatherings were termed
'pow vows, the smoker" given as
above mentioned we suppose was a
modern pow WOW. We know that Mr..
Williams does not smoke but he is sure
ly long on the pow wow, and it the u.s.
ual custom too of his hearers to sit up
! and take notice when he is talking.

It Is Badly Needed.

The citizens of the county residing
north of Back Creek in the Hackley
and Nina neighborhoOd are endeavoring
to raise sufficient funds to bridge Back
Creek on the Kirksville pike at Johns
Bottom. This is something that is
certainly needed, and every citizen of
that locality should give as much as
they feel able in order that enough may
be raised to justify the asking the Fis-
cal Court to supplement the amount
with sufficient funds to build the bridge
The Creek at this point often gets past
fording, and in the winter ice bound,
which prevents traffic and causes great
inconvenience to the people who are
compelled to cross it.

Another Successful Garrard County Boy.

Among the many men who have
gone into the world from Garrard
county to seek fame and fortune, and
who have been successful in their eff
forts is John R. Bradshaw of Decatur,
Ill. Mr.. Bradshaw is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. w. Bradshaw of the McCreary
vicinity. He is an auctioneer by pro-
fession and stands out prominently a.
mong the long list of famous auction
GERS throughout the United States.
The following clipping from the Deca-
tur Daily Herald, which was accom-
panied by a splendid likeness of Mr..
Bradshaw, will serve to show in what
high esteem both he and his services
are held in the thriving Illinois town of
his adoption
The Rhodes farm of seventy acres
located one mile north of Monticello,
Ill. was sold at auction Feb. 3rd, by
John R. Bradshaw of Decatur, ILL.,, for
$500 per acre. The farm was purchas-
ed by Chas. Boats of Oklahoma who
will occupy the same for home. The
improvements consist of an old style
brick house that has been built over
forty years. The realizing of such
prices for farm land at public sale is
demonstration of the fact, that land
properly handled by the right kind of
auction methods will bring more
money than same can be sold for at
private sale. A large and enthusiastic
crowd attended the sale. Real estate
dealers, lawyers and business men
turned out in large numbers to hear
Col. Bradshaw, who has a national
reputation as an auctioneer. Hes a
crackerjack, he's an artist in his line,
he's the best / ever heard, he's an auc.
tioneer evangelist, he's in a class by
himself" were few of the many re-
marks made by the professional men
when commenting on the proficiency
with which thesa was conducted.
