DR.. NJ. o. Biggs, Superintendent of
the State Hospital for Insane, con-
tracted eighty-five hogs to William
r. (Buss) Buekner, of Auxvasse, Fri
day, at SIS. 25 per hundred pounds.
The hogs are estimated to weigh 200
pounds on an average and at this
figure will make the institution big
money. They are to be taken by the
buyer before the first Of September.
These hogs have been fattened on
slop and some corn. That is the
highest price contracted for that has
come to our notice. DR.. Biggs con-
sidered letting the load go at SIS
three days ago, before but when they
were not taken at that figure when
the offer was made he advanced the
price a quarter. They viii have 70

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, August
16. - The 1907 ext Confederate SOL
diers who are on the State pension
list will each be paid $135. 20 within
the next few days, and this is all they
will receive unless another Legisla.
ture appropriates money for their
back pensions. The last Legislature
appropriated $19S, 900 to meet the de.
~ficiencies from Sept. /, 1915, to Dc.
cember 81, 1916, and this is the money
that the State Auditor commenced dis.
tributing yesterday and expects to
mail out the last of checks by the end
of the week. The Legislature appro.
priated $4,000 to pay the pension,
for this and next year, but Governor
Gardner vetoed the item as an econ.
omy measure.
Under the law these men are en-.
titled to pensions Of $40 a month.

Great Religious Weekly for another
year, from September 1. We can't
get along without the Ledger; it is
like a letter from home. Much
needed rain is falling today and will
make the late crops good. The early
crops are below an average. Our
newly organized Commercial Club is
coming to the front with 100 acres Of
Strawberries for next year. Success
to you, A. A. DAWSON.
