4Oth Wedding Anniversary

Mr.. and Mrs. D. J. Holman
celebrated their fortieth wedding
anniversary at their home Tues
day, January 25th 1916. Mr.. and

gold pieces, and a sterling silver
pie knife.
Daniel ]. Holman and Hattie
Davis were married in this
county Jan. 25, 1876, Rev. Har-

ceremony, at the old homestead
four miles north of town. All

President Wilson and Mrs.
Wilson will leave Washington
February 2 for a look at some of
the country on the west side of
the Mississippi and breakfast in
st. Louis and make an address
on the morning of Feby. 3. The
road over which he will travel
has not been named, nor has it
been said whether he will appear
on the rear of his car at points
between st. Louis and Kansas
City, but it is fair to presume
that he will. The high water
along the Wabash and the dang
erous track at several points may
force north Missouri to lose the
honor and pleasure of his pre-
sence, but it is for him, just the
same.

Mayor Right

Mayor Agee was right in lis
tening to the appeal of those who
clamored for the enforcement of
the Sunday closing law. The Or
dinance is on the book and those
who felt aggrieved by its infract-
ion had a right to complain and
the Mayor has nothing else to do
but enforce the ordinance or
make a big bluff at enforcement.
If this or any other ordinance
is obnoxious, unnecessary and
damaging to the business of the
town, wipe it off the book and
go after those who abuse their
privileges in the other way.

Will Revise Ordinances

The city council has under con-
sideration the revision of the
city ordinances which were dis
covered to have at least one big
hole in them thru which culprits
could slip.
If some of the ordinances are
revised out of the book and 9th.
ers modified so that they can and
will be enforced all the time, it
will be decidedly better than to
have a big bunch of them which
are not enforced at any time.
There is too much lawmaking
and too little stability in a lot
that is made, this remark apply
ing to acts of the legislature and
congress as we'll as city councils,
don't you think so?
The contention made a few
years ago by some of our city
dads that we would have more
money with less coming in has
lost by sad experience, but un-
der any conditions brot about by
those with losing business con-
ceptions, we must have revenue
to keep the municipality going,
and it is up to the council to so
regulate the tax burden that it
will bear proportionately on each
and with as little discrimination
as can be arrived at.

The territory south of Salisbury
is said to have been more exten-
sively overfowed during the
past week than at any time in
years. and the bottom lands
north of that city have not suf-
fered so much as they would but
for the ditch which has been
working overtime and overca-

Difference In Men

Human nature may be revealed
in many ways. There stands on
the street crowd of boys, hold
ing the ropes on their sleds and
waiting for a chance to hook
on" A vehicle approaches, the
driver sees the boys, divines their
object and gives whip to the
horse or turns on more gasoline
and robs the boys of a great
pleasure. Another man approach
es the same group. He stops
and tells the the boys to hook
on" My, what a scramble for
position. He waits until all are
ready and will then go a mile or
two out Of his way just to give
the boys a 10Y ride. - Mendon

Mayors Grist Mill

The week has been unusually |
full of cases demanding the at
tention of the mayor and he has
come out of the judicial business
with considerable credit to him
self,
There are several ordinances
which should be taken from the
book containing the rules for
governing the town, because
they are not enforced in many
instances and when an attempt
to enforce them is put under
way, there is general objection.
If the ordinances are not there
to be enforced, they should be
got rid of, the latter suggestion
preferable in some cases to the
enforcement.
The lid was lifted Sunday by
several and the chief police got
them and nothing further re-
suited, as predicted, for the
reason that the strict enforce
ment of the Sunday closing
ordinance is not popular among
merchants and customers as a
general rule and discriminates.
Since there was no prosecution
of the few who took chances and
sold some of the necessaries of
life, such as cigars and cold soup,
etc. we refrain from giving
further data.
Grant Hurt Jr. did not regard
a dare that he ride his horse on
the sidewalk on main street as
being beneath his acceptance and
fell a victim to the ordinance
against such wild west proceed
ings to the tune of $3.50 and
costs Tuesday night.
Arlie Rains was charged by
the city collector with having
failed and refused to pay city
license on two automobile livery
rigs he had run before the run
ming was bad, and Rains plead
not guilty and stood for a jury
trial Tuesday, the result being
that he was liberated, it being
disclosed that the ordinance was
was null and void. He had paid
on one term but that money was
gone.
u. R. Westlake was charged
also by the city collector with
having failed and refused to pay
the city license for year on his
converted antedeluvian Maxwell
fiivver which he had been operat-
ing as a delivery. pleasure and
music vehicle for a longer time
than he had paid dues on, was
exhonerated and the amount he
had already paid refunded, $3.50
in hard cash.
James Rucker and Messy Clos
son were charged with racing on
the streets. There was a differ
ence of opinion as to which could
get there and back the quicker,
and they "cut loose" in the north
section of the city to show the
speed of their superior steed.
Result, stakes go to the city in
the amount of $2.95 each. Jinks
Jenkins had been riding one of
the horses until it dumped him
in the presence of Rucker who
avowed he could stick the charg-
er and beat the Closson horse in

old frame Dickson hotel is a
thing of the past. The last of
its kind on Broadway to go; it
went Monday morning by the
fire route. Those who respond
ed to the fire alarm saw the
flames devour the old shack with
mingled feeling of regret and
hope-regret for the loss and
hope for a more worthy success
or. 1t was remodeled many
years ago and became famous in
its day, but yielded to rivals of
brick and stone as time wore on.
All the department could do was
confne the flames to the doomed
building, and save what it could
of the contents. There was
$1,000 insurance on the building
and $500 on the contents which
will partially cover the loss.
The building belonged to the E.
G. Dickson estate, and will not
be rebuilt by the estate, but be-
ing one of the best locations in
town for a modern hotel, we
hope it will not be long until
someone will buy the lots and
erect thereon an ornament to the
city in the way of a hostelry that
all can and will appreciate.

OUR XVI ANNIVERSARY
CHARLTON COURIER NEARING HALF CENTURY
First Always in PrOgresSivenesS,
AggreSSiveness and
FearleSSneSS

IHlLE the volume NUMBER does not lndl
\A/ cate the date at which the first paper was
printed in this town, it does show that
SO far back there predecessors who started on
its historical career that which developed into
what the Courier represents at the time of this
issue. From the Keytesvile Union in the middle
sixties, with William Maynard at the head to the
present day, the paper has broadened with the
advance of business and other interests.
William Maynard, some short time after the
war, opened print shop on the premises now
occupied by Thos. T. Crews residence near the
court house, afterwards moving to the little frame
house on the block now owned by James J. Ward.
Maynard sold to Boge & Hunter of Huntsville,
about 1873 and they to William W. Jones about
1876, the paper having changed its name under
Bogie& Hunter to The Keytesville Herald. Judge
0. +. Smith was the editor under Jones and he
called the Herald 'the true democratic paper
VIM. Jones sold to j. A. Hudson in 1878 and he
to Vandiver & Collins in 1882 Max Collins re.
firing, establishing paper at Mendon. Thepub,
fishers of the Charlton Courier, the name given to
it by Hudson, became A. G. Vandiver d Son, who
were succeeded about 1885 by G. P, Vandiver,
who, together with j. A. E3adson gave the paper
the reputation which it had of being the best pa
per i'll north Missouri. c. P. Vandver died in
October 1870 from the effects of murderous
assault and his widow and step.daughter took
charge and conducted the business successfully for
about six months, when the plant was sold to
E. E. Rettig who, in June 1911, sold to E. B.
Kellogg. Kellogg sold half interest to ]. A.
Larson in September, 1912, and in October, 1915,
;pforo 10 oil
The notable incidents in the history of the pa,
per occurred under its ownership by Bogie d
Hunter, when the policy of the paper was made
more aggressive, from political standpoint; un-
der ]. A. Hudson more progressive from bust
ness view, and under c. P. Vandiver in every
particular. The present owner will let his success
sor some time in the 2000s say in what respect
he lent distinction, if any, to the paper that has
stood at the head in the county during the greater
part of it's existance
Entering on its forty.seventh year, if any moss
is observed on its back, it will be democratic; if
anything which its readers should be advised of
comes within the knowledge of its editor they
may expect to see it published; if any species of
crankism bobs up, it will be denounced along with
hypocracy and any other form of superficial II am
better than thou pretentions if the interest of
the city, county or state can be advanced, the ed
torial and other columns of the Charlton Courier
will be open for as much as they be made worth
to the cause and if there is any other good pur
pose which it may be made to serve, it will cheer
fully lend hand. In prosperity it will rejoice
with its friends and in adversity cheer them with
optimistic views of the better time coming.
