threshing, where 1 have been, is

/ was out at Ellington last week;
called at M. L. Copeland's home. He
Water Plant. 1t will furnish lights
and water in every room. 1t is the
most complete plant | ever saw. He
also has a new concrete cellar, which
makes his home complete in every
respect. His son-in-law, Mr.. Geitz,
has charge of the Ellington and Bum
ker Nazarene churches.
Ellington is building up all the time.
They have some lovely homes there.
I notice Ike Chiffon, on the Mo. s..
R. r., has quite a crop of sunflowers
planted. Down near Charleston and
Sikeston they have large fields of it.
The Mo. S. R. r. is now in fine or
der; her trains are making good
time; the Conductor and Trainman are
very accommodating fellows. Con-
ductor Hackworth had his two boys
with him. They certainly are bright
boys, and if properly trained will
make fine business men. You can
almost tell what is in a boy by his
movements.
