SOME BEAUTIFUL
RESIDE Noes IN
SPRINGFIELD

1t is wonderful what little
improvement will do in the way
of adding to the attrac,iveness
and desireability Of residence
property.
Such is the change in the pres
ent residence of La Fayett Bur-
ton that it has taken its place
among the attractive residences
of the town. He now has good
sized and neat-looking l. house,
and has in connection with it
one of the best arranged barns
in town. The premises are com
modious and includes a nice lit
tie garden plot. There is dug
we'll with good windmill. Mr..
Burton intends to put out fruit
and shade trees in the spring,
and in the years to come will
have one of the most valuable
residence properties in town.
R. G. Cotton is building up a
residence home that in the years
to come il going to lack whole
lot of being at the foot of the
class. He has nice roomy
house that adds to the towns at
Effectiveness, has gond wind
mill and irrigating system, has
shade and fruit trees started,
and good sheds for his cows and
chickens.
Robert Hitchcock has the nu
cleuus of a future beautiful home
The residence is one of the new
ones that has added it's might to
the towns appearance. The
premises are commodious and in
closed by an attractive five foot
web. There is a good windmill,
and with the introduction of an
irrigating system and the plant
ing of yard trees the property
will be valuable and will add to
the value of springfield.

MIS-SPELLED WORDS

Our photography being on the
barbarous order, there is litole
wonder that some words are mis-
spelled by people in general; but
in fact this serves only to add in
terest to such words when atten-
ton is called to them. For this
reason we shall for a time call at
tention to some words that are
mis- spelled by some of our cor
respondents.
Several of our correspondents,
in common witt. the public in
general, mis-spell the word
thresh, when applied to the
separation of grain from straw.
The word is spelled both thresh
and thrash, the latter when ap-
piled in any other sense than the
separation of grain. When men
are raw hided they are thrash
ed,' but when grain is beaten
out of the head it is "threshed. "
Business is commonly mis-
spelled word, and is mis-spelled
by two or three of our cores.
pund"nts. Business has no bus
mess to be spelled the way it is,
and would be classed among the
barbarous words. The mis-
spelling of the word is in get
ting the before the s. That's
the way it is heard, but that's S
not the way it is spelled. Bus-i-
ness (bizness), bus y (bizzy).
Bachelor is the third word we
shall call attention to this week.
A few of our correspondents,
falling in with a common error,
put in the word, when there
"hain't no t" in it. There is
such word as batch, but it
doesn't apply to man and woman
kind. Leave the t out of bache-
lor.
