Want Game Chickens

The land of Revolutions" is
that little strip of country from
the southern border of Texas to
the lsthmus of Panama. They
revolve there every few days
and between time fight game
cocks and bulls. Mexico former
ly sent many orders to Sam
White for his favored brand of
game chickens but since the last
fuss broke out there has been
nothing doing there. This week,
however, Mr.. White received a
letter from a citizen of Guate-
mala who stated there was a
little hull between revolutions
in that vicinity and wanted to
know what a couple gamecocks
of good strain would cost him.
Mr.. White intended replying as
soon as he could get the express
rates which have to be prepaid
on these shipments. Mr.. White
has shipped game fowl as far as
Honolulu, SUCCESSFULLY.

1t was some fast footwork
coupled with goodly proportions
that won for Edward Claude
Drace the title of champion boy
baby of Charlton county. The
footwork was done by his
mother and the goodly features
and form of the prize-winning
youngster was already there.
The Keytesyille delegation was
late in arriving at the opera
house where the baby show took
place. The babies were lined up
about 80 Of them half boys and
half girls and the judges had
made an inspection. About that
time the delegation from Key
tesville that went with the
champion youngster formed the
old flying wedge and by a
mastery play got into the
opera house. Mrs. BRACE sat
down atthe end of the line with
her boy and the judges i'm
mediately seeing that a formid-
able entry had arrived, went
over and attached the blue rib
bon. 1t was a narrow escape
but Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Drace

sistently proud of the class
shown by the youngster in COM

HUNDRED LIVES ARE LOST.

Drowned

The steamship Volturno of the
Cunard line was destroyed by
fire in midocean last Friday,
1876 lives being lost and 521 res
cued by other ships summoned
by wireless telegraphy. The
sea was SO rough that the eleven
big ships which came to the aid
of the burning craft before she
went down could render no
assistance for nearly IL hours.
Every life boat and raft lowered
by the Volturno was crushed and
swamped and their occupants
drowned. Capt. Inch was the
last to leave his ship. The dis
aster occurred about 100 miles
north Of where the Titanic sunk.

HORSE THIEF CAPTURED
Young Man Steals Horse for
Money to Go
Home

Sheriff O'Bryan went to Mar
celine Tuesday in the Nix au-
tomobile for James Rowland
Wick charged with stealing a
horse from young Duncan Locke,
son Of Ed Locke who lives south
of Marceline.
The young fellow, tramping
the country sought and obtained
employment on the farm of the
widow Duncan Locke, where he
worked until Monday when he
decided to go to his home in
Philadelphia.
In order to secure sufficient
funds for his trip he mounted
young Locke's horse and at
tempted to convert him into
cash. His last offer was to a
farmer living west of Bucklin
who became suspicious on ac-
count of the low price at which
the horse was offered but pre-
tended to want to purchase the
animal and said that he would
have to go to Marceline to make
arrangements. The young
scapegrace accompanied the
farmer to Marceline taking the
horse. The pretended purchas-
er made some inquiry con-
eerning the animal and learned
that young Duncan Locke, who
is attending school in Marcellne,
had such a horse. Young Locke
was told of the matter and went
and immediately identified his
horse, whereupon a warrant was
sworn out and placed in the
hands of Marshal Burns of Mar
celine who took Wick in custody
and notified Sheriff O'Bryan.
Young Wick admits stealing the
horse and assigns as a reason his
desire to go home. He will re-
main in Jail to await the action
of the Circuit Court.

Illinois Farmer Here

T. w. Edds Of Lincoln, ILL.,, a
former townsman with John A.
Larison was in the city Satur-
day on business connected with
a farm he bought five miles
from Salisbury. Mr.. Edds says
he got a farm of about 375 acres
that looks as good to him as Illi-
nois soil that sells for twice as
much as the Missouri land and
may move to Salisbury to reside.
Mr.. Edds started at once as a
progressive farmer, to have his
land thoroughly tiled and will
improve it and increaseits value.
He has q farm in Illinois part Of
which he has owned for ten and
part for 19 years, which cost
him $4,000. He has been offer
ed $4,000 for the farm. Mr..
Edds can be depended upon to
improve his farm, increase its
value and show the results Of
hustle and push.

County Roads Meetings

The commissioners to select
county seat highways held a
meeting at Salisbury Wednesday
and one at Bluff Point Wednes-
day evening. At Salisbury sew
eral matters were discussed.
One was the road to Macon.
Two roads were discussed, one
from Keytesville northeast to
the county line and the other
out of Salisbury to the county
line. The Salisbury road seem
ed to have the most boosters as
no one seemed to have anything
to say for the road direct from
Keytesville to Macon. At Bluff
Point the Brunswick road, via
the hill route was discussed. The
attendance of property owners
was limited and nothing was
done. 1t is possible that the
route Of the Marshall road may
be changed to leave this city by
the west on the Brunswick road
and then cut across the bottoms
instead of leaving via the east
road. the Keytesville- Salisbury
route. The commissioners want
to give the county the largest
mileage Of good roads possible
for the money and is taking
some work to figure this Out
just right.

Give the Road

We have not only heard of it
but we have noticed in travelling
around over the cnnnty that
there are some who refuse to
give half the road to automo-
biles and feel like they are hav
ing a right smart fun when an
automobile comes up behind
them and sounds all sorts of
warning, in preventing the au-
tomobile from passing by re-
fusing to give a part of the road.
About a month ago the sheriff
of Carroll county had oc-
casion to go to the country with
a party in his automobile. On
his return to Carrollton they
came up behind a man in
wagon and he repeatedly re-
fused to give a part of the road
so that they could get by.
The obstinate driver held to the
road and paid no attention what
ever to the signals or shouts and
requests. After about two miles
of this kind of funny business
the automobile managed to pass
the team and the sheriff un-
known to the man in the wagon
as an officer, asked why he did
not give half the road. The fell
low answered that he did not
have to. Fhe sheriff climbed
out of his automobile, placed the
pig-headed fellow under arrest
and made him hitch his team to
a tree, took him to town and
preferred charges against him
and it resulted in his being fined
$500 and costs and having to
foot the way back several miles
to his team.
Saturday on the road to the
Brunswick fair was a pair of
negroes in a buggy An au-
tomobile came up behind them
and they refused to give the
road and laughed at the automo-
bile efforts to get by. Finally
the automobile shot by, stripping
one hind wheel and leaving Mr..
Negroes dumped in the road.
Good enough whether negroes
or white folks.
The law is plain you must
give half of the road or run the
risk of being smashed up or
heavily fined, if complaint is
made, or both.
