E. C. Vandervoort who for sever
al years has served the Missouri Pa
cific as agent in this city left Thurs
day morning for Carthage, Mo. to as
sumo his duties as agent at that place.
Mr.. Vandervoort's move comes in the
nature of a we'll merited promotion
and while it is very pleasing to chron-
icle his company's recognition of his
services, we regret exceedingly to
lose him here. ''Van" is clever,
courteous and agreeable gentleman,
always on the job," but never too
busy to accommodate patrons of the
road in any manner within his power.
May his shadow never grow less.
He informs us that his successor Mr..
Wilson is gentleman in every sense
of the word and one who will faithful
ly fulfil his duties here.
