AUNT ELIZA YOUNG, OUR AGEr
VISITOR.
Her form is bent,
And her vigor spent,
Under the weight of years;
Her hairs as gray
AS the milky way,
But she entertains no fears.
For the cooling dove
OF peace and love
Is lingering at her door;
She has a home
In yon blue dome
With Christ forevermore.
She often smiles
As little child,
Her temper is always sweet;
And to have her roam
To our humble home
Is surely a noble treat.
The pleasant face
That once did grace
This woman of eighty summers,
Has burrows now
From chin to brow
Which show in many numbers.
Our honored guest,
We now request
That you come back some day;
Though you are old,
We here make bold
You're never in the way.
Ralpop.

HIGH STUDENTS
TO DEBATE BONDS
Girls Will Oppose Boys Team
In Contest Tomorrow
Afternoon.

High School students tomorrow will
decide the Fairgrounds Bond Issue in
joint debate. A unique feature of
the debate is that girls are allied on
the affirmative side of the question
against boys on the negative.
Anyone knows a girl can outtalk a
boy, so it is easy to forecast what will
be the result of the argument.
The debate will take place in the
S-A civics class, and the question is
stated as follows: Resolved that Cape
Girardeau should vote bond issue of
$4,000 to buy and improve the Fair
grounds"
The members Of the class the other
day elected the following to be the
members Of the opposing teams: An
ma Norman and LOrene Critics, af-
firmative; Donald Black and Hollis
Mcbride, negative.

tact with fur, they took hold, almost
mechanically.
A full-grown miuk's hide is worth
81, and a number of useful articles
that could be bought for that sum,
flashed through the darkcy's mind.
The animal apparently did not care to
appear in public and refused to come
out.
"Eph" threw himself backward,
pulled, 'grunted and pulled again. Then
one stiff yank and the bundle of fur
came out with a rush, but it was not
worn by d mink, as had been sup
posed.
Ephriaham found himself in the
midst of coming out party, and while
ne was endeavoring to liberate skunk
which he had unintentiOnally arrested,
the dogs joined in. The negro could
neither get out of the trench he had
dug nor get in the hole, and in the
words of the prophet, he was simply
up against it.
The polecat was in his lap and back

the dogs. There was but one thing to
do, and that was to skid over the en-
bankment and roll into the brooklet
below, which the trapper did.

FARMERS BROTHERS.
WAGE FIERCE WAR"
Jefferson ID. McLain Sues For
]. Wallace McLain's
Ejectment.

In small eiectment suit filed yes
terday in the Court of Common Pleas
by jefferson d. McLain against J.
Wallace McLain was revealed "fencc
war" that has grown to serious pro-
portions in recent weeks and has torn
asunder two brothers in the McLain
family of near Neely's Landing
The trouble all arises over the divi-
sion of land which the boys have in
herited from their father, John c. Nc
Lain, who willed his property to his
sons and died in 1898.
The land constituted about 500 acres
near Neely's Landing, which the father
attempted to divide equally among his
children. Jefferson D. Wallace was
decided the part of the land north of
the dividing line that the father Gre
ated and a part of the farm south Of
that which jefferson got was taken
over by William McLain.
Since their fathers death, however,
J. Wallace McLain bought his brother,
William, out and occupied the farm
south of Jefferson d. Wallace'S place.
The line that the father drew be
tween the two farms was made to
conform with various local features
and tenabled jefferson a clear drive
way out of his place.
Sometime ago, however, J. Wallace
McLain determined that the line was.
different and he moved the fence over
to conform with the line that he claim
ed was the correct division. The al
iteration completely cut off jefferson
d. McLain's means Of outlet from his
farm. The difference in acreage was
but few square yards.
The brothers were unable, after
much argument and controversy, to
settle the dispute. They arbitrated the
matter at one time, but failed to keep
their agreement. So they drew maps.
each of their versions of the line of
division. One man, Jefferson ID. Nc
Lain, based his claim upon the fact
that the line had stood his way for 40
years without thought of alteration.
His brother claimed the line was diff
ferent under the deed under which he
purchased the farm.
And so they brought the maps and
all documentary evidence to Senator
Thomas F. Lane, in the Cape, to have
a suit in ejectment filed so that the
court may make the proper determina-
ton of the "fence war"

BUY FAIRGROUNDS,
ASKS MAYOR KACE
Executive Predicts Bond Issue
Will Garry and Gives
His Reasons.

Mayor Fred A. Rage yesterday gave
his hearty Endorsement to the plan of
the city to buy the Fairgrounds for d
public park, and predicted it would
carry by a good margin.
Il have not heard of any opposition
to speak of, and l don't expect the
project to meet with a great deal of
opposition said the city's chief eX-
ccutive. Everyone seems to realize
that the city is in need of a park and
everybody, l believe, thinks that we
should have one.
Cape Girardeau will not be hard
pushed financially by buying the park.
The expenditure of $4,000 for the
grounds and the additional appropria-
ton of $4,000 to improve them will
amount to scarcely anything to the
people.
"Since | entered the office of mayor
| have reduced the taxes more than
fifty per cent. | am opposed to a
heavy taxation and the people will
never be burdened with taxes, if | can
prevent it.
There has been an effort made to
create the belief that the city was not
financially able to buy the Fair
grounds, but | am confident that the
people do not take such absurd state
ments seriously. There are certain
times in each year when the city treas
ury is somewhat lean and other times
when it may be considered fat. Our
returns are about the same every year,
and we always have ample to meet the
demands.
81 have always been believer in
parks Most people are in these pro-
gressive times. ! have never advo-
Gated more parks than the city could
afford, but every town of Cape Girar-
deau's size needs at least one park,
where families could hold picnics or
outings during the summer months.
"A city park gives the children a
safe place in which to play. The little
boys and girls must romp, because
that is the best part Of childhood, and
they should have a safe place. Streets

are no place for children, and unless
they are allowed to go to some public
Fairgrounds they will play in the
streets, where their lives are constant
ly in danger.
THE suggestion made some time
ago about the city maintaining a small
zoo, meets with my approval. | have
rot considered this matter to any great
extent, but | would be heartily in IA
vor of it. 1t would afford much en-
iOyment to the little and the grown
ups as well.
q hope good strong campaign is
made for the Fairgrounds. There is
always one danger about bond cleo
tons, and that is this: When it is for
a good cause, the people, or at least
many Of them, feel that it IS a good
movement, and therefore, will not have
any serious opposition. Therefore,
they proceed on the theory that their
votes are not needed and fail to go to
the polls. Every one should possess
enough civic pride to work for any
plan that is for the general good of
the city and everybody in it.
THE purchase of the Fairgrounds is
something that everyone should be in
terested in. 1t will mean much to the
people now and more in the future. l
have always hoped that it could be
bought during my administration, and
| feel certain that it will"
