liams has been sick for some time but
Eugene reports finding her much i'm
proved in health.
Geo. T. Belknap, who is working in
st. Louis, was here visiting his par,
ents from Saturday to Sunday. We
believe that there are other attrac-
lions here besides his relatives.
Mrs. Matte Byrd, of Bonnie Terre,
visited friends here the latter part of
last week.

Ernest (Rupe) Eaton, of Commerce,
Okla, is visiting his brother, F. X.
Eaton, here this week.
There have been several changes IN
real estate here within the last week.
A, P. Goodin has bought the two-story
residence of Mrs. Emily Burns, east
of the depot, Virgil Penberthy has
bought the Ed Doss property on Hunt
street, and U. S. G. (Sallie) Vaughn
has bought the two houses which the
school board sold Saturday night.
The st. Joseph Lead Co. laid off
quite number of men last week.
Most of them were from the power
house, carpenters and yard men
about thirty in all.
There is a white Angora goat run
ming at large here in Leadwood that
is giving a lot of trouble to some OF
our people. This goat is in the habit
of eating the posters off the bulletin
boards, and getting in yards at night
and eating shrubbery. 1t seems that
no one knows just who this goat be-
longs to. If it is not kept up, some
body is apt to get somebody's goat.
Shelf Horn, of Bonnie Terre, trans
acted business in lockwood Friday.
We heard a working man say this
week that dollar now was worth on
" SO cents. We imagine that these
very same dollars will be worth fully
100 cents in the next four years, and
he will think that they are worth
more than that before he gets very
many of them. They will be worth
at least as much as the John Smith
Scrip we had under Teddy.
There have been three men hurt in
! the mines within the last week here.
On Tuesday Carvel Turner fell into a
chute at Desloge shaft No. 6 about
35 feet deep and was hurt pretty bad
w, on Wednesday Lee Asher was hurt
at Hoffman shaft by falling back, and
on Thursday a man whose name we
never learned got a leg broken at
Hoffman shaft by falling back; All
were taken to the Bonnie Terre hospi-
! tai for treatment.
1t has been a habit of quite few
people in Leadwood for the past few
wears that when hog Of their own
dies, to drag it to the closest patch OF
woods and leave it laying on top OF
the ground. We believe that the law
requires that they shall be burned up,
or buried at least two feet under the
ground. Some one is going to get in
bad trouble by this practice.
Rev. Taylor and Singer Propst
closed their revival meeting on Friday
night and left for Annapolis, Mo-, or
Saturday, where they are to begin an.
other meeting. Rev. Taylor is very
forceful speaker and it was no fault
of his that there was not more gooc
results shown than there was
The Bonnie Terre high school boys
basket ball team forfeited to the Lead
wood boys Saturday night. Our boys
regretted to have this game called off
as they need the practice in order to
keep in shape. They will play the
strong Desloge team Friday night,
which will in all probability settle the
indoor championship for this season,
lockwood has defeated Desloge twice
this year, once on the outdoor court
and once on the indoor court. 81

continues to improve in health ano
