The NEW YEAR
Opened on Business Basis.
Quieter Than Usual.
Spring Day.

A single lonesome solemn bell
and a few concentrated revolver
or giant cracker shots about mid
night Saturday night, reused a
few in the neighborhood and re-
minded them that some event
was being indifferently announc-
ed. Saturday morning and prac-
tically all day, collectors swarm
ed with bills and all business
houses were open for customers.
Warmer weather and rain had
cleared the snow away and pave
ments and streets were disagree
able. No public demonstrations
and nothing to call particular at
tention to change of dates on
checks and letters. One old ac-
count or accusation was settled
with a club, and the toast Mis-
souri, Always Wet" drunk by
many until moisture oozed from
their cuticle.
Public and private resolutions
to do bushes on a nearer to cash
basis were adopted pretty gener.
ally, informally, a few desultory
glances at conditions which could
and should be remedied, and
back we appear to have settled
comfortably in the old ruts,
But 1916 will bring some wei
come surprises to US. Mark the
prediction.

Council Meeting

The city council met Monday
night and an ordinance of con-
siderable moment was put under
way, or rather an amendment Of
an existing ordinance. Z
This amended ordinance will
provide for imposing a fine not
to exceed $1OO on any boy or 9TH
er person caught with a toy pis.
tol, and alike, fine for shooting
such in the city, Fire; crackers
are also taboo under the sam e
penalty. Any one selling. such
or similar pistol OF B. B. caps or
cartridges to boys will be sub
ject to the same penalty.
Boys have been getting car
tridges and cutting the tip end
Of the bali away. and firing them
from such toy pistols, B B caps
have also been one of the fav.
orite loads, and where. only the
regular caps. haye been procura-
BILE, small nails have been used
for huIlhts and are as dangerous
as any.
After one boy had his jaw
punctured and one of the best
razor artists in the state partly
scalped by bullets or slugs shot
from these dangerous and deadly
weapons, the mayor and council
thot it about time to act ahead
of a homicide.
The lid without a crack in it
on Sundays was also before the
council and the business pulse is
is going to be felt before recon
sidering.
The council ordered the re,
pair of several lamp posts with
new ones and the first of the
week J. W. Taylor placed sever
al at points where they were
badly needed. When snow and
mud shovels are brought into ac.
iton when needed, we will be
able to get there and back with

ia, superinduced by lagrippe, her
sisters, Mrs. Geo. Wilson and
Mrs. Roberta Moore and her
granddaughters, Misses Snavely
being with her at the end.
Florilla A. B. Hurt was born
in this county at the old family
homestead in the southeastern
part of the county October a,
1912.
During her early girlhood she
attended the country schools and
completed her education at Fay
cite college during the presiden-
cy of DR.. W. Luckey.
She was the oldest daughter of
Judge M. C. and ParInelia Hurt
and surviving her are her sisters
Mrs. Geo. F. Wilson, Mrs. w.
G. White, Mrs. Roberta Moore
and her aunt, Mrs. Arthur
Price of Hamden, and her son
Lon and granddaughter Misses
Urcel and Paula Snavely of Kan
sas City.
Florilla Hurt was married to
Lucian E. Cook of College Mound
Mo-, January 3, 1864, and to the
union was born three children,
Belle M. (Mrs. Jas. Snavely)
Thomas Edgar, who died IN in.
fancy and Leonidas. Mrs. Snave-
ly died May IL, 1915, Lon being
the only one of the family sur
viving. L. E. Cook died at his
home in this city May q, 1914,
and since his death his widow
made her home at one or the
other of her residences in the
city with a girl companion.
About the year 1857 Mr.. and
Mrs. Cook moved to a farm west
of this city and a year or so later
to the home northwest of town
where they farmed until about
1882 when they came to town
and entered the mercantile busi-
ness, first a grocery store, then
a general merchandise store
and then dry goods and, notions
in the building which they built
for themselves and now occupied
by Thrash Bros. drug store.
Mrs. L. E. Cook was almost al.
ways in the lime light and had
some more than ordinary gifts
, as a writer, speaker and debatel
and a few years ago entered the
political arena and made the
race for recorder of deeds: AT.
ter her defeat she quit politics
and devoted herself to her bust
ness interests until some vita
questions affecting public policy
sprung up, when she again
launched her oratorical and de-
batting forces and more or less
has been a champion of one OF
the other sides of all great ques
, tions now before the people
Firm in her convictions, open
and fearless in her expressions
with a high nervous tension anC
indomitable will power, a vocab
ulary and sense of humor seldom
equalled, combined with strenu
GUS work at something mental Oh
manual, Mrs. L. E. Cook was 6
woman in a class by herself. M
more sympathetic heart was
ever in human when her feelings
were enlisted in the cause of &
friend, and her devotion to hel
husband was complete, for thru
the struggles he was forced tt
make to gain a foothold on the
rock Of independence, she wa!
! ever ready and willing to beal
with him, be they strictest fm
gality or the longest hours o.
hard labor. These qualities com
bined with what the world saw
of her life in public affairs, ap
peared anomalous to many, bu,
| they went to make up the basil
J for the suggestion that Mrs
Cook was a woman in q clas'

day to assist the Ewing base
ball team against the Lincoln
Memorial University team. of

three hits, one of which was IA
three base hit by Potter. Be.
sides his invincible work in the
