vENI, VIDI : GOT SKINNED.
KeytesviIle Defeated in Mo-
berly at Basketball.

1t was a rather crestfallen
bunch that got back to Keytes-
vile Thursday morning after
spending a night in Moberly.
The bunch consisted of the
basketball team and a half dozen
admirers who spent their good
money going to Moberly to root
for the locals. The cheer-mas-
ter was cooked and primed but
when it came to starting any
thing for Keytesville, oysters
had the local boosting squad beat
to death. There positively was
not a thing to make a noise
about excepting a fine field goal
by Thrash who it is said, was
the star of the locals for this
evening.
Lack of playing by the locals
indoors coupled with the wear
ing of tennis shoes with smooth
ed soles, put our boys at a decid-
ed disadvantage on the smooth
floor of Lyric hall. They played
hard but the boys from Ran
dolph county wiped up the earth
with them and then threw the
remains out the back door. The
score was AZ to s.
Following the game, a dance
was given in the hall, Lyric,
where the game was played.
The referee of the first half was
Briggs of Moberly, while ].
Bayne Cooke refereed the seconG
half.

made up of Shannon Wayland,

To Organize Hunting Club

A movement is on foot in
which the prospects are that
there will be organized in Key
tesville and Brunswick, combin-
ed, a hunting and fishing club.
The idea is to lease a house and
and lake out a mile from Whit
ham and form it into a game re-
serve for fishing and duck shoot
ing. The lake now is drained
and the project is to dam the
drain bitches so that the water
will be accumulated in the pond
and the overflow of the river is
expected to stock it with bass
and crappie. The place was fine
shooting before the lake was
drained and it will be only a
question of damming the outlets
to make the shooting better in
the future. Several Keytesville
residents planned a trip to Whit
ham this week to look over the
ground. 1t was expected to
make the membership something
like so persons.

1918. Mr.. Agee was never
married and leaves no relatives
more closely related than his
niece, Mrs. Hurt with whom he
made his home.
Up to a recent time the old
man had enjoyed good health
but he was compelled to take his
bed a week ago and his decline
had been steady since that time
up to his death.
The funeral was held at two
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon at the
