NEVADA MAN
 WOULD CHANGE
J. NJ. FULLER PROPOSES TO CIR CULATE PETITION FOR ANNEX ALTON TO HAMPSTEAD
 COUNTY.

!. M Fuller, who lives a couple of miles over the Nevada County line, was in Hope today in conference with inter- ested parties with reference to a plan to cut off q portion of Nevada county and annex it to Hampstead county. Mir. Fuller explained that the settle mentS along BOdcaw creek have no roads to Prescott, and that it is even a great inconvenience for the citizens of this portion of Nevada county to attend court at the county site. He believes that it would be less expen- sive and serve the people to better ad- vantage for Hampstead county to take and look after their interests than it would to attempt to build roads to Prescott. and he proposes to circulate petition for signers throughout the territory affected and if ma jority are i'll favor of such q change he would present the petition to the Representa- tives in the General Assembly and ask that bill be introduced authorizing the annexation.
 Tt is twenty miles to Prescott and the roads are as fierce as one could imagine" said Mir. Fuller, and be- sides Hope is our marketing place and the town that we must look to help us build our roads We are told that the county authorities of Nevada coun- tv will not even pay for the lumber that went into the culyerts on the Sutton road that was built by the people of that community and the business men of Hope We, therefore can never ex- pect relief from Nevada county. hence we are proposing the annexation to
 Hampstead
 MT. Fuller stated that he was "onfi-
 dent that he could get d very large mp
 jority of property owners to sign d pc
 tit.On asking that such bill be intro duo ed in the present General Assembly.
 The petition is being prepared and pro- hably will be circulated next week. The present plan is to cut off strip of thIee miles through two or three tUWh- ships, which at present are practically isolated from the outside world. I'le Shaw and Shaw test well is in this sec tion and it gives promise of becoming most valuable property to the county in v liich it is located Citizens Jf Hope la," no especial desire to molcst the county lines but it is recognized that this section is Hope trade territory and considerable money has been expended by the business men of the city to build roads for the people in that part of Ne vada county. Other plans are under way to build dump across the creek
 bottoms into this very community Star of Hope.
 If the people in Mir. Fuller's neigh
 borhood want to swap Nevada for Hempstead we say go to it; but i'll the meantime our eye is fixed on Blevins, whose annexation to Nevada we will ask for if we are to lose MT Fuller's neighborhood to Hampstead.

SATURDAY EMPORIA BATH DAY
Light Snow and Decision OF Voters
Fail to Aid Water Famlnr.

Enporia. Dec. 17.-Ihe old fash-
toned Saturday night bath is vogue IN
Emporia, and promises to continue TO
be until a heavy rain or snow. One
bath a week is the latest ruling of the
city officials, augmenting City Com
missioner Dan DRYERS famous 4-inch
bath edict.
CITY officials look upon the water
situation more gravely today, they as
seit. , because of the failure of last
nights snow to bring relief, and of the
defeat at the polls here yesterday Of
the proposal that the city buy water
rights on the Cottonwood river for
$4,000.
The project was defeated by ma
iority of z64. The NeoshO river from
which the city gets its water supply, is
saia to be at the lowest stage in many
years.
