in full, but since John still owed this
office for his 1914 advertising. and
since we have never been able Co COL
Iect any thing on the same, we simply
applied his check on his old account
and are leaving the ad. out or the pa
per. The lesson that we've learned
thru our associations with John r.
Connolly, is to discount his CAMPAIGN
promises. at least 100 per cent, and
never again to. accept his political
advertising, unless he is clear on our
DOORS and his order is accompanied
by the cash in full.-Esbon Times.
Do you believe this story2 You'd
not and why? Because you are a sup
porter of John r. Connolly, but il
you should get hold of the same story
derogatory to Otis L. Benton you
would scatter it to the four winds,
until all would proclaim it and the
little birds would sing it from trees
and fences, and every house top and
pinnacle of the land. We did not
print or reproduce it for you to be-
E3ieve or guess. but just simply to
prove to you that stories without an
iota of credence will start on one
candidate as we'll as another, and all
depends upon whose OK is being eor
ed, whether it is scattered or not.
If any one doubts this stat ,ment.
Mr. Vaughn will make affidayits to
this, and he is a standpat Democrat,
too.-Randall News.

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Septem-
Der 10. 1915. Pen room was at a
premium in the cattle yards today,
receipts, 23,oo0 head, following 81 600
head yesterday. However, movement
toward the scales started early at the
trading basis established yesterday in
most cases, medium and plain killing
cattle a little lower sometimes. Plen-
ty of outside buyers are here today,
taking a good many steers for feeding
at $3.50 to $780,
Beef Prime fed steers again
sold at 5000, same price as top yes
terday, and fancy yearlings brought
$40. IS. Grass cattle sold up to 80. 90,
and steers that have been fed little
on. pasture went above that price,
pretty good steers around sS 90, middle
class steers weighing 1850 to lips lbs.
at 81 90 to $3.50, lighter steers $500
to Sc. rs. Feeder competition was an
important item, and cattle took fairly
good fIls. Colorado beef steers this
week sold at 1855 to s7.25, including
Is cars of 105S-lb horned Texas bred
steers from Piacerville at s7.IO. Best
grass cows bring up to $3.50, medium

Hogs. Receipts were $4,000 head,
fairly liberal at most points. and a

close. top S11.15, same as top yester-
day, this figure paid by order buyers
and by packers also. Heavy hogs sold
up to S1I.Oo, and pigs 50 90 to S10.25.
The feature of the trade continues to
be immense outlet for fresh pork and
for course meats, both for domestic
dDO pIdQe,
hence the market seems doubly safe,
since there are evidences of close
marketing, and weakness in prices
can easily be registered with smaller
supplies at the markets.
Sleeps and Lambs-The weakness
in sheep and lambs for several days
disappeared today, sales steady TO 10
higher. Utah lambs sold at S10-:35
and Sl0.45. natives around $1,000,

OBITUARY

On Wednesday evening, September
18th, at about $50 O'Clock, Mrs. Myr-
tie Sellers, wife Of Charles Sellers of
this city. died at her home after a
long and painful illness caused by a
complication of diseases. While her
death had been fully expected for
some time prior to its occurrence yet
it came as q. shock to her many
friends Who were filled with much
sorrow when the word reached them
Mrs Sellers was born in Republic
county, Kan. November 27, 1881,
and came with her parents TO Trego
county when she was about thirteen
years of age On the 10th of March,
1899, shewas united in marriage to
Charles Sellers of this city and resid-
ed here until the time of her death.
To this union four sons were born
three of wn6in survive their mother
At best death is the saddest of all
trials that one can be called upon to
pass through but when a young
mother SCARCELY in the MONDAY of
her life is called upon to leave her
young children, her husband and
her home words become impotent TO
express the deep grief OF those left to
mourn her uutimely loss and if it
were not that the Christians hope
like bow of promise spans the dark
gulf between time and eternity
it would indeed be a burden that
scarcely could, be borne but we can
even in the dark hour of sorrow have
baf &c
Land where those who loved each
other on earth can be reunited if
they remain faithful until the jour
neyis end.
Mrs. Sellers possessed a bright hap
py disposition and there seemed to
radiate fromi her very personality a
brightness and warmth which captiv-
ated people and made her scores
of friends.
She was a. member of the Presby.
terian church' and was active in its
missionary, Sunday school and choir
departments
She was a member of the Locust
club having been elected its new
president for the present year. She
was also S member of the Royal
Neighbor's lodge.
She -wasa devoted wife and. mother
loving her family and husband above
all else in the world and ever pointed
out the right, the good and the true
for her children to follow. Her 1ife's
work is rinisL and she has passed
on to her reward leaving behind aer
sweet and tender memories that will
be cherished as long as life shall last.
Besides her husband ami three sons
she leaves four sisters and three
brothers to mourn her loss.
On Friday afternoon the funeral
was held at the home and was con
Quoted by Rev. Allison her pastor
who spoke most feelingly and appro-
priately. Mrs. j. Fl. Neisley sang
zone Sweetly Solemn Thought very
beautifully and impressively. The
Locust club attended in body as also
did the mem bers of the Royal Neigh
bors lodge. The floral offerings were
very numerous and very beautiful.
E. A. Courtney, w. L. Larabee, C. M.
Hotchison, j. FL. Hickman and j. G.
kirkner. A large number of rela-
tives and sympathizing friends fol-
lowed the remains to the Wa-Keeney
cemetery where the interment took
place.
The World with their many friends
unite in extending the deepest SYM
patny to those thus sadly bereayed.

A SUCCESSFUL FAIR

:
after four days of hne weather, good
Exhibits and large attendance With
out doubt from all stand points this
was the most successful fair ever
held in Trego county. The large new
exhibit building more than does cred
it Co the place and make, it possible
TO show all exhibits to the best ad-
vantage. The large new grand stand
and other sheds and buildings also
added materially to the pleasure and
comfort of every one. The crowds
were the largest that ever attended
feature of this kind in Trego
county. The fair has come to st,y
and this county should feel proud
that her enterprising citizens are
building up such good solid assoc
iatlon that will represent Trego
county and her best interests to all
our adjoining friends and neighhors
as well as her own people. The mer-
chants display was all good. Each
both attractiyely arranged presented
| pleasing effect and is an excellent
| method of advertising The agri-
culture display was not as large or
| of the quality it usually is owing to
the extremely dry hot weather of the
summer but few exhibits were fine
| nevertheless. The floral, art and
fancy work departments were as
| usual very pretty and attractive
| The cake, bread and canned goods
exhibited were excellent. The Stude-
baker, Buick, Dodge, Overland and
Chevrolet autos were exhibited by
agents. The stock and poultry ex-
hibits were exceptionally good.
On Friday the aero-plane could not
make an ascent on account of the
wind which sprung up but Saturday
it made a splendid spectacular flight.
The amusements were all good and
| were we'll patronized. The manage
| ment is TO be congratulated upon the
excellent manner in which everything
was planned and handled and should
receive the hearty cooperation of
every citizen of this county. next
year when a larger and better fair
| will be planned.

JUNIOR FROM FRIDAY

Friday evening, May 5th, the
Junior class of the Fitzgerald
High School was at home" to
the Senior class at the palatial
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. w. r.
Paulk on north Main street. Ell
bert and Miss Nora Paulk were
host and hostess to about seventy
guests, including the Junior and
Senior classes and the high school
faculty. The three parlors were
tastefully decorated in the Senior
colors, green and white, as was
the spacious veranda.
The guests began to arrive
shortly after eight o'clock and
were met by Miss Nora Paulk
and served with punch. The
"digni6ed Senior" arrived carry
ing their dignity in conspicuous
places, but it was soon washed
down, apparently by the punch.
AS soon as the guests had arrived
tally cards severe distributed by
the hostess and the promenade
began. After twenty numbers of
progressive conversation, Prof. A.
S. Ford arranged the Juniors in
ring about the Senior and as
they marched around them a song
in honor of the graduating class
was sung, each verse ending in
the name of one of the "dignified
Seniors After this was over the
guests passed into the house and
were served with refreshments.
These consisted of a plate con
tanning fruit salad, pickles and
tidbits and a green cherry on a
leaf of white lettuce, the Senior
colors. The next thing on the
program was the reading of the
prophecies for the "class of 1916"
by Prof. Mathews. These prophe-
cies were all in rhyme, written by
Miss Marie Clarke poet of the
"class of 1917" They were all to
the point and very amusing. The
zee course was then served, CON
sisting of brick ice cream and
small cakes with "16" in green
letters on white icing.

OF Lawrence county schools. Mr..
W hitehurst made a short talk to
part of the students in which he
told US in two minutes what
many other lecturers have tried
to tell us in as many periods. He
took the mother goose rhyme:
PUSSY cat, pussy cat, where have
you been?

queen.
PUSSY cat, pussy cat, what saw
you there?
| saw a little mouse, under a

Mr.. Whitehurst applied this to
school life thus-Many boys and
girls come to school to get educa-
ton, as the mouse went to see the
queen but like the mouse they
don't see the big thing they come
to see but only some incidental,
thing, possibly something I'm

The first game was against the

slaughter for the later team. The
last game was against what is
