The cold weather is putting back
vegetation. Very little corn has come

l was on the Missouri Southern Rail
road. That road is doing a fine bust
ness. There were 81 empty cars set
out at Leeper Monday night for the
Missouri Southern Railroad. They
run an extra freight train every day.
The road bed is fine. They are haul
ing gravel and putting it in where it
is needed. MI. Radke, General Mana
ger, deserves much credit. They are
also giving good passenger service.
If they had a motor car to run from
Ellington, say leave Ellington at 10
O'Clock and return from Ellington at
9 O'Clock, would help the travelling
public very much. The new hotel
that is being built at Leeper will be a
great help to the travelling public. 1t
will be up-to-date in every respect.
Their big store, under the manage
ment of Jas. C%arnihan, is doing a fine
business, but the Mill Springs mer-

and her husband were members. Rev.

of sorrowing friends, after which the

Mr.. Pate and wife lived here until
about two years ago when they NOV

HORNE. Her health began to fail and
she gradually grew weaker. All that
loved ones, friends, aud physicians
could do was done for her, but it was
of no avail. She grew steadily worse
until her gentle spirit left her tired
body for the beautiful home of God,
By taking her to heaven God may
mean to make heaven more real to
her loved ones left behind, and to in
spire them to live more worthily Of
the Gospel. To the bareaved husband
