HOW SEDALIA GOT ITS NAME
Gen. George r. Smith Gave the Town
is Pleasing Cognomen in Honor
of His Young Daughter.

The city of Sedalia was both found
I'd and named by Gen. George r.,
smith. who was distinguished citi-
zen of Missouri during the years of the
Ciytl war and the periods Immediately
hrlore and after that struggle. He
was Virginian by birth and Ken
III lian by upbringing; as a young man
lc came to Missouri and settled at
Georgetown, which is three miles north
of the present city of Sedalia. He
WAS prominent both in politics and
business and was instrumental in the
building of the Missouri Pacific rail
WAY from st. Louis to Kansas City
during the sos of the last century.
lie could not induce his fellow
townSmen to make the necessary et-
fort to have the railway pass through
Georgetown, and, foreSeeing that that
would condemn the village to decay,
he bought a large tract of land beside
the railway tracks and laid out a town
site there, from which in course of
ltlOe mas SIONH llic liodi l7liilS S4'J VI
Sedalia.
When it came to furnishing a name
for the new settlement, General Smith
determined to christen it Sedville, in
honor of his younger daughter Sarah,
whose pet name in the family circle
was "Sed." One of his friends, Josiah
Dent of st. Louis suggested that
willie" was commonplace termina-
ton, and that Sedalia would be a more
beautiful and unusual name. General
Smith approved of the suggestion, and
Sedalia came officially into being when
he and his family, the first inhabitants
of the new town, moved thither In

Mr.. and Mrs. George Davidson

are in such bad condition that auto
riding is almost out of the question.
There are many places needing atten-

mona and Sisco. Why cannot the
good people join forces and put pine
straw on the roads, or try in some
way to make travel more pleasant for
the many motorists who use the
road?

News Purchase.

Denver. Colo, Feb 24.-The DEN
yer Publishing company, owner of the
Rocky Mountain News and the Den
yer Times, and its president, John G.
Shaffer, has filed claim against the
estate of the late Unitel States Sena-
tor Thomas NJ. Patterson, formerly
owner of the News, demanding $780,
coo.
The Denver Publishing company
and Mr. Shaffer also instituted suit in
the district court against Richard G.
Campbell, son-in-law of Patterson and
executor of the estate, demanding a
like sum.
1t is alleged the defendants con
spired and confederated together for
the purpose of fraudulently inducing
the plaintiff to purchase the Rocky

Mr. Shaffer sets forth that the
News in reality, was not worth more
than 100000 at the time he bought
it for s550.000.
Mr.. Campbell and Mr.. Patterson
are declared to have known that the
paper was losing heavily when they
entered into negotiations for the sale,
but are alleged to have falsely repre-
scented the earnings.
