There are only a few in each county
They have over 500 bills offered and
none OF them say a word about these
poor, dependent soldiers, notwith-
standing some of our legislators are
sons-and grandsons of Confederate
Soldiers. One legislator from South
east Missouri wants Gov. Major to
have ten thousand dollars to visit the
Exposition. What benefit will that be
to Missouri? That fellow had better
be home shooting crows. So, while
our Legislature is smoking 25c cigars
and drinking 25c whiskey, it had
better be doing something to help the
old, battle SCARED Confederate Sold
Ter. And another thing; we are pay
ing out money every year to support
our pure food laws, and every day the
law is being violated. / was down on
the Belmont Branch last week among
the maple sugar camps. They were
putting brown sugar. and other in
gradients in, which is entirely against
the law. And hunting license! There
is not n man in ten gets license to
hunt and yet our officials are drawing
their salaries just the same. | was
looking at a bottle of mustard in a
store last week. 1t did not say what
it was composed of. So somebody is
not doing his duty.

Patterson for many years; then he

the best towns in Missouri. He has
been quite successful in all his bust
ness affairs and ranks as one of the
best merchants at Dexter. He visits
his mother ear Patterson once in a
