Peyton A. Parks is Recovering.

The latest, but very indefinite. news
from the bedside OF Peyton A. Parks,
the prominently known attorney-at-
law and citizen of Clinton, Henry
County, Missouri, furnishes the
happy information that he is making
the usual satisfactory progress
toward recovery from the recent at
tack OF paralysis that he sustained.
With no new complications his re-
covery is only a matter OF time, the
physicians saying that he must remain
in bed and keep absolutely quiet Tor a
period of at least six weeks. And, on
again getting up he will have to give
up all activities, professional and
otherwise. i his will mean that he
has to sever himself from one Of the
biggest legal practices i,cld by any
lawyer in the state. Also it viii
probably mean that he will have to
forego his activities in both church
and Sunday School, which will be al
most as severe blow to him as TO
the members of the immense Bible
class he lectured to in one of the
( linton churches each Sunday.-Cass
