rs IT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?

Word comes from New York that
the women are organizing "Don't
Gossip" club to be represented in
every community in the country. AT
last the women admit that tongue
is an unruly evil, full Of deadly poi
son" and we have no doubt that this
reform is largely due to the fight OF
feminism for recognition in the
world of men. And what will the
men do if womanism finally does
away with every feminine fault?
Simply acknowledge woman's super
iority? What can be opposed to
woman's scorn then by the poor
male? We look in the face OF a
new era.

1t is the outcome of an experiment
that has been tried out in other COM
munities and has been wonderfully
successful in awakening the people to
the fact that the outer man must be
given consideration in the scheme of
existence as well as the inner man.
1t has developed from the experience
Of other cities throughout the country
that the style show and dress up
movement has raised the standard Of
citizenship and had helpful effect
on the business progress and civic
uplift Of the communities in which
the experiment has been made.
Morgan City merchants are wei

are interested in the Fall and Winter
Opening and Style Show to be held

JUST NERVES., NERVES.

Nerves are things your grand
mother didn't know she had. Your
mother discovered them one night
while looking for an excuse to father
for not having sent his shirts to the
laundry. Now you've got to have 'em
or be horribly bourgeois, which in
plain English means, fine and healthy
and rather bit common, don't you
know! Nerves are supposed to
radiate from little gray punches of
things at either side of the spinal col
umn and invisible save to the x-ray
or the dear surgeon who'd like to
take them out and air them for you,
every once in a while-all for the
price of a new car.
But nerves now in fahion are inte-
rior things. They are worn draped,
swirled, and slit (N.B. Not to be con-
fused with "Nerve") all over the out
side where everybody can see them.
Everybody has 'em. Mother has
EN- when the dressmaker phones at
pm. that she cannot possibly get
her opera gown there tonight. Father
has 'em when another dub beats him
to an account that would mean five
thousand a year to him. The chill
dren have theirs when mother gets
seats in the balcony instead of a
stage box, at matinee. So boring and
inconsiderate of mother!
Nerves arc serviceable, tho deli
cate; versatile, tho capricious-and
absolutely up to date. On a small
salary you take valerian for 'em.
Five hundred a week, you go to New
port in summer, Palm Beach in win
ter, Hot Springs in the Autumn, for
them. This proves that nerves are rel
alive as well as discriminating.

that name, and which was named, or
the name was derived from the Mexi-
can name for the Maguey plant,
which gives the people of that coun-

Confused.

Inc bullOI VI 4 hO hNoSebN'
In the spring of 1879 was on the
ground where Laddonia now stands.
| met Amos Laid. He and j. ]. Ha-
den owned the 100 acres now occupi-
ed by the town. Mr.. Laid told me
that he and Mr.. Haden were going to
start a town there. That was before
the rails for the Chicago & Alton
were laid. Yet the road was graded
and ready for the ties and rails. l
asked him how many lots they would
give me if would build houses on
them. Mr.. Ladd said they would
give me two lots. 1 told him 1 would
build.
They laid off the town. Told me
to start from the center of the road
and meadow so many feet and meas
ure off a block of lots, 6Ox12O
feet, with a 2O-foot alley, and they
would have the town laid off by said
block.
In the fall of 1870 Mr.. Ladd came
down from Mexico with the County
Surveyor, Mr.. Jackson, and COM
menced the survey, but Mr.. Jackson
was taken sick and never came back.
Then Jack Hayden came down and
surveyed some. In the meantime
Tom Carter became County Surveyor
and finished the survey. Mr.. Ladd,
C. E. McVey, and myself and some
otAer man. 1 thiaR it was John A.
Thatcher, kept the figures of the sur
vey.
After we got thru with the survey
we talked about a name for the town.
Two or three names were suggested.
Finally Mr.. Carter proposed Laddonia
as the name. So we settled on that.
1t is an error that the town was nam
ed for Mrs. Laid also, whose name is
said to have been Onia. Her name
was Rebecca.
The rails for the Z. & A. were put
down in August, 1871.
So that was the start of Laddonia.
I notice that Floyd c. Shoemaker,
secretary of the Missouri Historical
Society, mentions Col. Haydn
and Laid as having laid off both Lad
donia and Vandalia, or had a hand
in it. He means Goa J. J. Haden. He
was real Kentucky Colonel. He
and I were reared in the same county.
1 knew him well. He spelled his
name differently and was a different
man from Jack Hayden. The latter
was County Surveyor after the above
events. He taught school in Mexico
and now lives in California.
