Lunacy Charge

Mrs, Virlea Scott was lodged
in the county Jail Thursday
evening last week by Sheriff
Wilks on a commitment for safe
keeping pending enquiry into
her sanity by the county court
Saturday. She is the wife OF
Tom Scott who lives near Buff
|ington Bridge northeast of this
city. According to report they
have four children and the cir
cumstances of the family are
considerably below par and it is
alleged that on account of short
age of provisions and domestic
convenieuces by Mrs. Scott to
exist. she mentioned shotgun re-
lief and other sinister intentions
towards her husband. When
she was arrested she slapped
her husbands face for bringing
the matters to official attention.

was. born Oct. 2lst, 1871 on a
sarm four miles west of Keytes-

children, seven boys and four
girls. Her father and mother
preceded her to the other world.
Early in life she was convert

ist church in which commu-
nion she remained loyal mem
Der until her death Jan. 9Th,
1921 age 40 years 2 months and
Is days.
On August the fifth 1903, she
was united in marriage to VIII.
lam Tillotson. To this union
were born four children Charles.
Louise, Mabel and William. She
had been in failing health for
the past three years. She bore
her trials as becomes a Christian.
Her chief regret of having to lay
down this life was that she felt
that her family needed her so
much.
1t was not the writer's priv

till her last illness. But each
time he saw her he felt that he
was in the presence of a good
woman. One may be judged
by the esteem in which they are
held by their neighbors. That
being true. then Mrs. Tillotson
did not live in vain. Her friends
and neighbors, one and all, ties.

She leaves her .husband and
four small children, three bro

other kindred and friends to

was her gain.

her pastor, the writer, at the

Sheep 80 Cents

One of cur stock men shipped
a car of sheep to market the
first of the week and when the
returns came in, he found he
had 80 cents a head for his NUT
ton but all expense had been
paid. The sheep brot rs cents
each on the market. A report
from a shipment by a man who
lives west of this city and north
of Dalton was even worse, this
stockman having nothing left

expenses.

Wheat IS DAMAGED
Fly In Most OF The Crops
Present Unfavorable
Short Yield

That there is a fly in the ma
jority Of wheat fields in the
county there is little doubt. In
many instances the presence of
VOLUNTEER oats which have died
deludes the wheat raiser tho
there are cases where the poor
appearance of the field is at
tributable to the dead oats.
Mr. George Hackley Of Forrest
Green and son were 10 town
Tuesday and Mr.. Hackley said
he believed that the majority of
the fields were fly infected. He
said that unless the weather
continued warm enough to hatch
the eggs and then a heavy freeze
follow, the crop in his section
would not be more than one
third Of what it promises some
time ago.
Mr.. Hackley said that on one
wheat stalk he examined there
were 26 fly eggs and on another
1e. Mr.. Sam Jordan said that.
there was no doubt a out the
prevalence of fly and that their
presence could be easily deter
mined BY pulling up a few stalks
and looking down into the roots
and that if the destroyer was as
numerous as it now appeared,
there was nothing to do but to
plow under the crop and put
corn or something else on the
land.
If this condition obtains gen.
orally the country the price
of wheat undoubtedly win ad-l
vance but |. the real condition

Shield-Hurt

Ford Shields of Caruthersviile
and Miss Virginia Hurt of this
neighbcrhood were united in mar.
riage at St. Louis Christmas day.
The wedding was a big sur
prise to the many friends of the
bride in this community who
learned of the affair only some
time after It's occurrence.
We learn that Mr.. Shields is
in the garage business and was
in the U. S. aviation corps over
seas. Mrs. Shields is the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. D.
Hurt and sister to ex-sheriff R.
E. Hurt and a young woman
popular everywhere she is
known. Perhaps there is no
young woman more familiar with
affairs and better quail
ified to make a home the most
rendezvous for a hus-
band who possesses the slightest
conception of happiness.

STATE HIGHWAY

Work Necessary

Thursday of last week an or.

via of Moberly, Keytesville ard
Carrollton will be pushed the

agent and Jess Richardson fl
nancier of the association. Fl.
t,rank Holman of Moberly was
elected head of the organization
and S. K. Turner of Carrollton
secretary. Every officer named
1as gone to work in earnest to
further the prospect of getting
reasonable part of the sixty
millions dollars bond fund for
hard surface roads thruout the
state and natural advantages
considered in addition to the in
terest which will be shown, will
undoubtedly amount to success.
Not a man or woman in the
county but who should talk,
argue aud fight for the road
even tho it does not run in front
of his or her door.
COanty highway engineer Ar
rington went to st. Louis last
week and met with road engi-
neers from all over the state to
hear the statement of the state
highway department concerning
the. expenditure of the big fund
for hard surfaced roads, the
plans and routes proposed and
Mr.. Arlington is of the opinion
that with organization, funds
and effort. this section can come
in for hard surfaced road but
neglect or indifference Mr.. Ar
rington is sure would put US out
OF the game entirely. No ma
tured plans differing from those
put out by the state department
have been made but competent
and earnest men all over the
state are at work formulating
something which is believed will
be much more satisfactory TO
the majority.

He paid for his bed and turned

Bill Cooley, Buster Witt and Bill
Fox ir. The Bears Bunk House
as the detached small apartment
from the main brick building is
called, has.3 rooms. one north,
one south and one in the center.
To get to either the north or
south rooms it is necessary to
pass thru the center room. ln
that were camped Cooley, Witt,
and Fox, and CIaybrook had the
south room. When the young
man awoke in the morning he
found that his trousers pocket
had been rifled and his purse
with $4.l0 removed therefrom.
1t was all the cash the young
man had and he reported to
landlord Coleman who refunded
the price of the lodging. tho the
boy was very reluctant to ac-
cept it. Investigation showed
that a lamp in the hoy's room
had been taken out and into the
north room. where the bed in
that room showed plainly that
it had been occupied. The room
had not been engaged nor, was
there an occupant at the time
the others retired, so whoever
snoozed in that retreat got in
after the others were asleep and
departed before any Of them had

He or she or it had to pass thru
the middle room, go to the south
room and get the lamp and back

REPUBLICANS ARE IN

Political Change Complete
Senate House Ditto

tyou please, for four years q

can officers for the state was in
augurated Monday at noon anc
the republican house and senate
4 were on hand to hear a gooc

loplied and fully conscious, ex-
cept one who had,no rig where

ljust the same. represented the
tail which goes along with the
Hyde. The, inauguration un.
ldoubtedly was a grand thing
and the governors address filled
with worthy conceptions. In
fact, if governor Hyde manages
to carry out his plans for better.
ment of schools and roads and
none of the several others he
put forth, he will have made a
splendid executive. 1t is prom.
ised that special reforms 10 the
particular of expense of the
several departments of state and
the legislature will be insisted
upon by the.governor and a be-
ginning has been made in the
Isupernumeraries in and about
the house and senate. Economy
consistent with the public SER
vice is the watchword the new
governor has pasted in the hats
of all about him and he threat.
ems to insist upon it. Doubling
up departments is another pro-
posed method for saving and
the duties of two or three as
heretofore will devolve on one.
Good enough if the office of
state game warden and the 9TH
er expensive sinecure. public
service commission, are both
abolished. Governor Hyde
thinks much fewer boards can
do the business and much money
saved. Another good idea, and
he follows this with the ayowed
intention of making no new
holes for political pegs. On
the subject of honest elections
he appears to be at variance
with Jake Babler Max Goldstein
and Liv. Morse. Quod erat de-
monstrandum. On the subject
of school. governor Hyde will
have the support of practically
every man, woman and child in
the state and it is sincerely to
be hoped that he will be able to
carry out his views or views
similar. The governor wants
the population of the state in
creased and some way devised
to augment the number of farm
ers and farm Iaborers but put
forth no well digested plan for
bringing this about. He also is
in for developement of the
