THE DANCE OF LIFE.

The wave of the oc the leaf
of the wood,
In the rythm of motion proclaim
life i S good.
The stars are all swinging to meters and
rhyme,
The planets are coursing while suns
mark the tim q.
The moonbeams and rivers float off in a
trance.
The Universe quiyers-on, on with
the dance
Our partners we pick from the b Of
the throng
In the ballroom Of Life and go
fitting along
We follow our fancy, and choose as, we
will,
For waltz or for tango or merry qua
drille;
But ever parner is waiting us
ali,
At the e n d Of the programme, TO fin
ish the ball
Unasked, and unwelcome, he comes
without leave
And calls when he chooses, NY
dance, l bell eye e!
And none may refuse him, and
none may ay no.
When he beck2az the dancer, the
dancer mus go.
You may hat am and shun him;
and yet in fe's ball
For the one who IS well It's the
bes uaree Of all.
-Ea Wheeler Wilcox.

Obituary.

Alfred Scurlock. one of Monroe's
oldest settlers, was born in Jackson
Co., Ohio, Jan. %, 1881, and died at
his home in this city on Saturday,
Nov. 1. 1918. aged 81 years, 9
months and s days.
The deceased came to this town
over 80 years ago and has resided
here all of that time.
In the year 1855 he was married
to hIary Graham to whom four chill
dren were born. After her death
he was again in 1868, married to
Josephine Wilson to whom also four
children were born.
While a young man and during
the terrible struggle between the
North and the South, Mr.. Scurlock
enlisted in the 9th Ohio and fought
like the real patriots of his day.
He is preceded to the grave by
both his companions in marriage
and also by a daughter who died in
infancy and one son who was killed
in the Spanish American war in
1898. He is survived by the fol-
lowing members of the family: Mrs.
Alice Selbrine, Columbus, Ohio;
Amy Ash, of Columbus, Ohio; Pat
rick, of Novinger, Mo. and Albert of
Blackjack, Ohio. Each of these be-
ing present at the funeral services,
He is also survived by six grand
children and one great grand-child

the company of Jack-o-lanterns,
black cats, owls, bats, witches, etc,
which peeped at them from every

electric light shades and portiers
partook of the witchery character,
! Surely the decoration committee
is entitled to unlimited praise for
its successful endeavor to Undue
all with Halloween spirit.
The hostess of the evening more
charming than ever in her dainty

TWO NEW RAILROADS
For Monroe City Look Like A Sure
Thine-Mean Monroe City Will
Be Best City In Northeast
Missouri-ProbablY
A Division.

1t is generally admitted by those
who are in a position to know that
the Burlington is going to build
practically an air line from Monroe
City to Kansas City with a line
from Moberly to Mexico where it
will connect with a BurlingtOn line.
This will give the Burlington the
shortest Chicago-Kansas City line
and also the shortest St. Louis
Kansas City line. The new line
leaves Paris several miles to south
and will take the fast trains from
Shelbina and other towns to the
west. In addition it looks favora-
bic for division here which will
cause many railroad men to live in
J Monroe We are favorahly located
for division between Galesburg
and Kansas City and St Joseph and
also between ST. Louis and Kansas
City and St. Joseph. All in all
prospects are bright for the future
of Monroe City. Then in addition
to the new Burlington comes
bright prospects for Monroe to be
on the Wabash line which is to be
built from Moberly to Hnnnibal or
Quincy or perhaps both The sur
veys have been made. The sur
vey has been gone over by COM
petent men and the recommenda-
ton has been made that the line be
built. Those who finally decide
have been so favorably impressed
with the situations that they are
soon to 60 over the line. II looks
very much like that instead of hav-
ing the Burlington Monroe City will
have both Burlington and Wabash
building into this city. This means
the Daily Monroe City Democrat
and Greater Monroe so you see
that we are just in time with our
Water Works and sewerage system
and a 24-hour Electric service.
The city is in fine physical condi-
tion to receive the large number of
new citizens who will knock for ad-
mission. 1t goes without saying
that the warm hand of welcome
will be extended to all good people
who want to locate in Northeast
Missouri's best city which offers the
inducements to locate here. In ad-
dition which we have in the city
Monroe City is surrounded by the
best farming country to be found

are cordially invited to investigate

Come and see us. Meet our hospit-
able generous people. Look at our
railroad facilities. See the many
opportunities for investment. There
is room for many manufacturing
plants which will pay big dividends

Our Attitude Towards Mexico
Justified.

The United States occupied Cuba
because we had a duty to perform
in the interest of the suffering and
the weak. A war that was devas-
tatin9 the island had been going on
for three years. with increasing
atrocities. We relieved a deadlock
ed situation in a very few days, es-
tablished peace in Cuba, allowed
100000 young Spanish soldiers to
90 to their homes, and conferred a
blessing upon the people of Spain
as we'll as upon those of Cuba. Pres
ident Wilson has tried to confer a
blessing upon the people of Mexico
by offering neighborly and disinter-
ested counsel. He has tried to in
duce the opposing factions to ac-
cept our Government as their friend
and unite upon some honorable way
to restore order and peace. But the
factional leaders are selfish and
headstrong, and those who over
threw and assassinated Madero
have gone too far to talk in unset
fish terms about the welfare of their
country. What will happen there
fore, nobody knows; and yet the
patieut, restrained, moderate course
and tone of President Wilson and
his agents have strengthened rather
than weakened the ultimate power
of the United States to be of prac,
tical service to the people of Mexi
CO. The opportunity will present
itself in some form, but what thai
may be does not yet appear. From

Use the Drag.

Roads in this vicinity have been
badly cut up during the recent mud
dy spell. Even the cross state high
way leading west is very rough. All
these roads can be made better by
the use of the drag and those who
use the roads in muddy weather as
in dry times can make life more
pleasant by the liberal use of the
drag Try it.
