Hon. T. j. Smith of Butler, No.,
one Of the legal lights Of Southwest
Missouri, visited his daughter, Mrs.
DR.. j. Robert Megraw in this city last
week. We acknowledge a pleasant
call from our old iend.-Fayette

Harrison Igou has Plymouth Rock
hen that occasionally lays an assort-
ment Of eggs and Friday he was ex-
hibiting varied specimens of her in
dustry consisting of three eggs weigh
ing 81 ounces, d ounces and 5 ounces
respectively.
Because of rumors that an attempt
might be made to lynch him, Frank
Shuster, accused of the murder of G.
w. Booth, was taken to Harrisonville
and lodged in Jail for safe keeping
last week.
j. D. Lukenbill of st. Louis, an old
Butler boy who is now vice-president
of the Retail Grocers Association, has
announced his candidacy for Secre-
tary of the National Grocers Associa-
ton which meets in St. Louis May

carrying concealed weapons. Ford

A. j. Erhart and family left Mon
day for their new home at Ness City
Kansas. Mr.. Erhart has been iden-
titled with the business interests of
Adrian and vicinity for number Of
years and has the respect of all who
knew him. Andy Erhart is square

lie spirited citizen. His many friends
here wish him and his family health,
happiness and prosperity in their
new home.-Adrian Journal.

The first question man asks when
he sees a girl flirting is whether she
is respectable or not; it raises doubt
at once. This being the case no
modest girl can afford to indulge in
the pastime. When the down is
brushed from a peach its beauty is so
married that it can never be restored,
and when a young girl throws lightly
aside that sweet and modest reserve
SO becoming to a maiden, and which
SO elevates her to command the re-
spect of all, she loses the great charm
and becomes rather cheap and COM
mon, to use no rash terms.-Ex.
Lion brand shoes. Best work
shoes in town, Black-Arnold.
A case that is expected to show
just how deep farm goes has just
been heard in chancery court in To-
peka. Mine operators had purchas-
cd the mining rights of a farm near
Pittsburg, but farmers had also
leased the land for agriculture. When
the miners sought to scrapeF of the
soil to the shallow coal beds the
farmers objected. The question will
viii likely be taken to the supreme
court Of the United States, as it is an
important one in any coal district
where deposits are near the surface.
