 Margaret Madison.-A fine, dainty lavender, If pure g-owfng color, one Crimson King-This might be called a "doubIe-standard" King Ed. Spen- Ger. which is the finest red to date. It is-ef ts1e highest Spencer type, but come double, making it fine for bou- quets and massing-
 Arthur Green-A magnificent new sweet-pea of large size and distinct shape, producing mostly "fours'' on long stems. The standard is bronzy- maroon, while the wings are a pure maroon. A fine addition to the dark GaietY Spencer-A lovely striped nov city, ivory white, striped. blotched, and daked. d.-With bright crtmson-rose. An Florence NIghtingale-An immense deep lavender flower, a veritable giant among sweet peas, with fine substance, and long stems.
 THE NEW GEADIoL4A
 Barclay-A fine wide-opening flower. which kills many other shades.
 Dawn-A deep rose, with pure white center. It comes on long spikes and is a vigorous grower.
 Irene-A clear shade of light pink, beautifully marked with bright crtm- son, very odd. Masses well in the vase
 Wm. FaIconer-A beautiful clear aPlK-pink, flowers of enormous size and length of stem A great acquisition.
 Princeps-The most attractive of all the red gladioH. The: co or Is the most glowing acarlet-crimson, deepen ing to the center, which is pure white on the lower petals.
 THE NEW HARDY PLANT.
 There have been a large number of fine new things introduced in the way of hardy perennials, of which all are fond. I know these will please you.
 WhAte Speedwell-We all know and love the blue one. and am sure you It is exceedingly graceful, and blooms through August and September, mak- ing it very useful.
 Dark Red HeleET um-This is dark red form of the old-time orange and yellow. It Is almost a maroon. WCll be fine for cut flowers.
 A Red Armeria-This is deep red shade of this popular border and rock cry flower. The foliage is especially fine, and 1t is thrifty-grower.
 Gentian-Blue Anchusa-This is the very latest acquisition in hardy blue dowers, which are so rare as to be notable. It is the most translucent in dIgo-b,ue, striking the attention of all beholders. Grows three or four feet
 
 Double Arabis-The arabis, which is one of the most popular and long Booming of the spring flowers, has Heretofore been sing,e. This is a dou- ble one, and will ast longer on the plants than the single ones. It will become immensely popuar.

JOHN DREW

Of the many events of the winter MT. John Drew's first appearance at the Park theatre on the night of Mon day, January 8th, in his new comeoy, "A Single Man." will doub tless prove an event as social as dramatic in it's interest.

The Sanitation Ordinance.
ID the CitIzenS "a HaLrlSOn.

10 VHe GItIEeHS Oh IdtTiSOI'
1t seems that some of our "Kock.
ers' have been awfully busy trying
to create the impression that the
city council is contemplating repeal
ing the sanitary ordinance, No, 127
Now, for the benefit of all those
laboring under such false impress
sions, we desire to state tha;
the city council has no intention
whatever Of repeating said ordi-
nance. The council passed this ordi-
nance after duly and thoroughly
considering the awful sanitary con
dition Of the city
Other towns, all over the country,
have this same sanitary law, and it
has proven a thorough success, and
is considered by all the boards OF
health as the only sanitary system
outside of sewerage. Cess pools and
open pits have been condemned ev-
erywhere, except in the little back
woods towns where no attention is
paid to sanitary conditions
The idea of cess pools and open
pits being sanitary is absurd and ri
diculous, Suppose we should have
four or five open pits dug in Harri-
son and tumble a dead horse, COW,
or a lot Of dead hogs into each OF
them and leave them uncovered,
what do you suppose would be the
result Such conditions exist in
Harrison today, only worse, There
is not a well in the city that is not
more or less contaminated by this
open pit method,
We expect everybody to comply
with this sanitary ordinance now in
effect And all those who do not
comply may expect a call from the
city marshal, We are not going to
"play any fayorite in this game so
please get busy and be good,
loyal, law abiding citizensand don't
wait to see what your ncighbor or
the other fellow is going to do be-
fore you act, You may rest assured
that your ncighbor and the other
fellow both will comply, After your
closets have been fixed, please use
plenty of lime every day, and YOU
will be pleased with results Flies
will not stay where lime is used fre'
quently'
Hoping we will not have to call
on YOU any more to comply with
this sanitary Ordinance No l27,
and thanking all those who have
complied. W. II, LEWIS,
Chairman Sanitary Committee,

The county now has three special
school districts, Harrison, Everton

In closing his report Superintend-
ent Curnut says, There is a mark
ed increase over last year along all
lines, such as enumeration, enroll

terms, salaries paid teachers, and
value of property. The school at
Harrison is receiving state aid.
Boone County held a 13 day In
stitute at Valley Springs, with prac-

has produced a marked improve

and given them higher grades and
better salaries"
