Grain and Produce,

CHICAGO, Sept. S.-There are a
few big men in the wheat market at
Chicago who feel friendly to that
grain. They believe that the shorts
in September will experience addi-
tional trouble in evening up their pc.
sitions. while there are others who
ask, "Will longs. be able to stem the
tide?"
Many millions OF bushels of poor
wheat have been grown in the South.
west. and some OF the millcrs through.
out the region claim that the percent
age of good milling grain will be exi
%ceptionally small. The Southwestern
millers, in case they find that the quail.
ity Of their -four cannot be kept to
standard by using the winter wheat
wholly, will look to the spring wheat
country for supplies.

JAMES KIZZIAR

James kiZZiar died at his home in Webb City Wednesday, Octo- Der 29, after several months of suffering from Bright's Disease, Age P years.
 Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Mor- gan Hill cemetery, Rev. J. J. Galloway officiating. The inter- ment was in charge of the Woodmen of the World of which order he was a member. He leaves a wife and six children. James kizziar was a loving husband, always greeting his wife and children with smiles and kisses when he returned from his work. Never did he grumble or get offended. He paid his debts, was honest and truthful, and a sweet companion a dear and loving husband" is the tribute which one who knows him we'll pays to him.
 The funeral was the largest held near Webb City for years, probably three hundred assem- bled to pay this last tribute to one whom they loved and res- pected.
 MT. kizziar has had the ferry between this place and Webb City leased during the past year.

Rehobefh Church Burned.

The Rehobeth church house at Cravens burned last night about 12:30 o'clock. It is believed that the church was fired by an in- cendiary. A large crowd gath cred just after the fire was dis covered and for that reason it was thought useless to get blood hounds from Ft. Smith, as was suggested to Sheriff McIlroy last night. However the sheriff and his deputies are working upon several clues. Sheriff McIlroy spent most of today in the Crav- ems neighborhood.

 TO BRIDAL PARTY

Among the happy social otfairs given for Miss Stanley and her bridal party, none were more pleasant and attractive than that given by Miss Ellen Jen- nings at her home Friday after noon. The parlor, library and halls were artistically decorated in ferns, palms, with bright au- umn flowers in profusion. From the hallway to the dining room pumpkin faces greeted you in every nook and corner, and to complete the weirdness of the scene, witches and black cats were seen on every side. In the dining room the Halloween idea was carried out perfectly, the long table was effectively arranged with scarlet sage. zinnias and autumn leaves. In the center of the table the witches pot was placed, which seemed to be filled with autumn leaves. but upon stirring it, it was found to contain more. Miss Vivian Cotton, by stirring it, found little note which read Let Hattie Bet stir the pot" !" and when she took the stick the most beautiful handkerchiefs were stirred out. Besides the ghostly light from the pumpkin faces, candles decorated with cats and pumpkin faces, with pretty orange shades giving a most effective and mysterious appearance. The place cards which were twelve, were dain- ty white cards decorated with cats and pumpkin faces.
 The menu: coffee with stuffed figs, pickled cherries. Saratoga flakes and salad. Angel food with whipped cream and mar shino cherries.

 The court levied the following taxes:
 County general, 4 mills; coun- ty currency, 1 mill; state tax currency, E mills; road tax, 8 mills.
 The court appropriated ST, 7S0,0O for the following purposes:
 County general, $4OOO. %; Cir cult court, Ozark district, $3, GOO; Circuit court Charleston district, $1. 300. 90; Records, $500; Fuel $350. %; Special jail. $25O. %; Special election, $2CO. %; Public buildings, S300.0O Contingent circuit court, $100. Contin- gent county court, $25. %; Paul pers, $60O. %; Mulberry bridge, at or near Bedding, S2, 500.0 %. Smith creek, two bridges near Etna, $5OO.00; Onion creek, near Vesta, $250.00; Onion creek, near Vesta, $25O.OO; Loves creek. bridge on Ozark and Charleston road, $250.00; Will Hams Ford, on White Oak, $1, 800. %; White Oak, Ozark and Huntsville roads, $500.00; Hur- ricane. Ozark Charleston road, $700. .00; To enlarge Charleston court house $1,0O,OO.
 After a hard fight the appro- priation was made for the vital statistics (birth and death re- ports).
 In the afternoon session the matter of the county farm de- monstratior was taken up. The matter was discussed at full and the following vote taken: For county demonstrator, s.; against. Fl.
 The county paid for a demon stration agent last year $750. The Commercial Club paid $l20, and the government paid $500. A total of $1370. This cut ting out of the demonstrator was without doubt a serious mistake and will prove to be expensive economy. We understand that an effort will be made to make up the amount necessary to hire a de- monstrator, which will be about $S70, among the business men of the county. We believe that could be done. We call atten- tion to an article elsewhere in this paper concerning this mat ter in Greene county.
