Clark D. Smith Seriously Injured by
Fall on Icy Sidewalk.

Fall on Icy Sidewalk.
Clark ID. Smith of Corunna, was seri-
ously injured Monday when he fell on
the icy sidewalk in front of the Western
Union Telegraph Office in this city,
striking on his hip and left arm, both of
which were broken. Doctors were
summoned and Mr.. Smith was taken to
his home in Corunna in DIR. j. o.
Parker's automobile where the frac.
lures were set. 1t was thought best
not to use anasthetics because of the
condition of Mr.. Smiths heart. Later
however he was relieved by a hypho-
dermic and rested easier. No serious
consequences are anticipated but he
will be confined to his home for some
time. Mr.. Smith is well along in years
and the shock is great but his courage
will help in the recovery.
Mr. Smiths many friends in all parts
of the county extend sympathy.
Parcel Post Weight Limit May be
Made 100 Pounds.
Washington, January 10. Recent ex'
periments conducted by the Post Office
Department with a view to increasing
the weight limit of the parcel post,
have proven so successful that parcels
weight g 100 pounds soon may be
shipped by mail. Postmaster General
Burleson is giving the scheme serious
consideration and is known to be in
favor of it. The weight limit of par
GELS at present is 80 pounds.
THE 1OO-pound weight limit has nc
terrors for me-" the postmaster general
declared today. He expressed the be
lief that 600, 900, 900 parcels would b.
transported through the mails during
the year beginning July next, with 6
revenue of approximately 10 cents each
Very broad powers were conferred
upon the department in developing thi
service" said Mr.. Burleson. 1--WE pro
pose to 60 ahead with it until we reach
the principal where we feel the servict
has been developed as far as it can b.
to meet the requirements of the people.

Miss Ruby Weber, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. +. ID. Webber,
north of Laddonia, is suffering
from peculiar affliction of one of
her eyes, we are told. Several
weeks ago she had the toothache,
which affected the sight of one of
her eyes, resulting in the loss of
the sight. She was taken to a
hospital in Hannibal, where an
operation was performed. Later
she was taken to st. Louis where
a specialist performed an opera
ton, but still the sight is not re-
stored. Sorry to hear of Miss
Webber's affection and trust that
soon she may be fully restored.

morning, Mr.. Editor. It's hot,
hahn t it, And hain't it dryG |
guess youall knode it tho. But
up there, where youall got good
things to drink and comforts of
life you don t think as much
about it as folks down here do.
We think something about it, and
we been thinking something
about it for some time, but we
are not going to think mu "a long.
er, we are going to dry up and
blow away.
Farmers still buying corn. J. C..
Maxwell received a car, and it
did not last till it was all gone.
The wagons and sacks swarmed
around the ear like bees in "a
clover patch. Jack Brown re-
ceiyed a car of corn this week al.
so.
There is some stock going out
of this place now and we think if
the dry weather continues every
thing will be shipped, just like it
was last year. It's awft
only on the farmers but everyone.

EQUALS HER TASK.

Miss Pearl Morris, daughter OF
Mr., and Mrs. Werner Morris of
Mexico, is making good as a
court official in Adair county.
The Kirksville News refers to
Miss Morris and her work as fol-
lows:
The present strenuous term of
circuit court with Judge o. c..
Clay on the bench is proving a
difficult task for Miss Pearl Nor
ris, the efficient deputy circuit
clerk. Circuit Clerk Roarbaugh
has been confined to his home on
written up and read at the open
ing of court and the work has
therefore all fallen to her lot.
Judge Clay insists that the
records of the day shall all be
written up and read at tn eopen-
ing of the session the following
morning. From the fact that
there have been night sessions
practically every night since
court opened and also that the
number of cases handled has per-
haps been the greatest for the
length of time in the history of
this court, it has been no small
task to handle the work of the
court, and no one but an expert
could have made good start at
It. Miss Morris has, however,
proved equal to all emergencies.
She has attended to the general
minutes and handled the needed
papers for the court, at the same
.ihe keeping her records thor
'ughly written up, except in
Eases where the attorneys have
lot prepared the necessary de-
rees for the record.
