J. r. DAVIS DEAD
Veteran Newspaperman. Passed
Away in Kansas City After
Long Illness.

j. II. Davis, one Of the veteran
newspapermen of the state, died
at his home in Kansas City Fri
day, September LIST, after a long
illness of Bright's disease. Mr..
Davis was for many years on the
staff at The Times.
John R. Davis was born on a
plantation near Baltimore, Mary
land. in 1S47, and at the age of
about four years moved with his
family to Missouri, locating at
Lexington, where he spent his
boyhood and received his educa-
tion. When a youth he accepted
employment on the old Lexington
Union, where he learned the print
er's trade and where he was as
sociated with the late John N.
Edwards, then a journeyman
printer, who later became one of
the most brilliant writer's of the
west. In 1869, in company with
his brother, w. H. Davis, he went
to Warrensburg, where they es-
tablished the journal, now the
Journal Democrat. They later
went to Clinton, Mo-, and acquired
the ownership of the Henry Coun-
ty Democrat, which after operat-
ing for about two years they sold
and returned to Warrensburg,
where they again purchased the
journal. Again disposing of the
Warrensburg Journal they re-
moved to Marshal, Mo-, where for
several years they published the
Saline County Democrat. In the
early SOS J. R. Davis disposed of
his interests in that paper and
came to Butler where he accepted
a position with this paper, and for
more than quarter of a century
The Times loyalty and
faithfully. In 1906 he moved
with his family to Kansas City,
where with his two sons, John and
he established a lob
printing plant which he managed
until i'll health forced him to re-
tire from active business, when he
turned the plant over to his sons,
who have conducted the business
since that time. Tie was united

GIRLS. HERE'S A CHANCE.

Girls, here's your chance-a real
live chance-and the man in the ease
realizing that leap year is about half
over with and no one having taken
recognition of his lonesome condition
frankly asks that some one help him
out in the matter, and he has made an
appeal to Carroll s. Jones, formerly of
Idaho Falls, now of Swan Valley, to
help him out. Mr.. Jones has in turn
appealed to the Register to give notice
to any interested of the condition of
the man, who admits frankly that he
wants wife and needs wife, and did
he have wife he would be good ia
her.
He is frank also in his statement
that one of the reasons that he wants a
wife is that he needs cook and is
finding it hard to get along without
one. He lives on dry farm and is
lonesome, and says that he is willing
to put up with even the cooking Of even
an Idaho Falls high school graduate
of the domestic science department, say
ing that would be preferable to having
to listen all by himself to the lonesome
howl of the desOiate coyote, which may
itself be bachelor coyote.
He is willing that his wife which he
hopes to have should own one-half the
homestead claim and all of the livestock
which he has worked so hard to accu.
mulate.
Any interested may notify Carroll 8.
