THE TRI-CoUNTY CELEBRATION.
Pioneer Citizens of Three Counties
VIII Convene Near Middleton.

The general opinion of the major
ity Of the people in this day and age
is that the old fashioned country pic.
mic is an event TO be looked upor
with scorn and a place for the older
citizens Of the community to assem-
Bile to discuss the local happenings oi
the past and that the joyous festivi-
ties Of the younger generation should
be a trife more in accordance with
the drawing room times. How such
an opinion should be formed is in
deed strange, and especially would
such be the case should one be 80
fortunate as to once attend the Tri-
County celebration held annually at
Lemasters Grove, a historic old meet
ing place nea our sister city, Middle
town.
Old Settlers Day, with all its ira
ditions, is the gala day of that COM
munity. This event is not generally
anticipated by the old settlers alone,
but by the community at large. 1t is
here whole families come for niles
around to speak of the events of time
since their last meeting. 1t is here
that the prizes are awarded for the
strongest man, running races, story
telling contests and many other Of the
old time sports which are bound to
cause delight. - Wellsville Optic

A HEN WITH A RECORD.

"Biddy," a black Hamburg hen,
owned by Charles Owen, of this city,
holds the record of which any hen
rpud Of ability to produce might be
proud. "Biddy" died a few days ago
at the age Of fourteen years, pretty
long life for a hen, and what is more
remarkable she continued to lay until
the time of her death.
Hens that lay even a part of their
usually very short lives are valu-
able to their owners, how much more
valuable than the ordinary hen was
"Biddy" who lived many times as long
as her more common sisters and con .
tinued to pay for her board and keep
during the whole Of her life.

Disguieting rumoE IN regard &c
the possibility Of the Boone County
Court refusing to issue pool hall D.
~oenses have been AHoat in the city
since the recent election. This was
due to the fact that Judge Rowland,
who was reelected. is known to be
against halls, as is the andp&thy Of
Judge James 7. Stockton. who was
dominated 20 succeed Judge Tate,
fer anything that smseks Of Pool.
Personally, I am against pool
halls, said Judge Stockton. when
interviewed. Il don't see, however,
how the county court can refuse to
issue a license unless there is some
specific charge. The court Of APP
peals has decided that the county
court cannot"
Il expect to see that a license is
not issued to any pool hall manager
in Columbia who is convicted on any
charge connected with his hail. II
the law against letting minors play
is rigidly enforced it would not suf-
prise me. That would be a cas of
where we could clearly refuse to
grant a license" The vote of two Of
the three members revokes a license
in these cases.
As to the legal side of a county
court refusing to license the opera
tors of pool halls or billiard parlors,

case recently was carried to the
Court of Appeals, was written of in
the Kansas City Star as follows:
"a county court cannot hold up
a pool hall license because it be-
lieves pool halls are a bad thing for
the county"
"That is the decision Of the Mis-
souri, Court of Appeals in the opin-
ion filed by Judge Trimble, and con-
erred in by the other judges. The
case was that of A. D. BayleSs
against the County Court of Clinton
County. Bayiess sought q mandamus
to make the court issue him a pool
license.
when the court turned down Bay

not have specific charges against

was that pool halls were not good
