An Historical Tree Felled.

Rich Hill. Mo-, Dee. IA
large elm tree was recently
chopped down along the Marais
dcS Cygnes River, near Papins-
vile. small inland village and
the first county seat of Bates
Comfy, located ten miles east OF
this city. around which centered
some Of the early history of the
county. 1t is a matter of record
that under the branches of this
tree the Usage Indians a century
ago held their pow-wows, and
was the meeting place for the
braves just before starting on
their annual hunting trips to
foreign territory. But the tree
was pointed out to the stranger
more for its connection with one
of the early day crimes than for
any other reason. The first man
to be legally hanged in the coun-
ty of Bates was swung from the
branches of this tree.
The guilty man, DR.. Samuel
Nottingham, resided on Clear
Creek then in Bates county, but
now part of Vernon, about
twenty-five miles from the vii
lage of Papinsville. The crime.
in 1851, was that of
wife killing.

Bull Sale Saturday,
December 23rd.

This bull sale to be held by
the Bates County Better Bulls
Committee is being held merely
to help Bates County in the staff
contest. This isn't good time
for it is late for a fall sale and
too carly for spring sale. Some
men are not going to buy bulls
until next spring when they need
them, SO it is predicted that these
bulls will not sell high. OF
course, the sale manager and all
the breeders Of the county hope
to see them sell we'll, but the up
permost thought now is to get as
many requirements as possible
and try to move Cass County out
of first place.
These bulls represent the best
blood lines of their respective
breeds, and. though not fat, are
in good condition to do well.
Some of these are spring calves
Just the age you want to begin
developing to suit yourselves;
will not cost much to winter and
will be old enough for service
next spring when you are ready
for them, and you won't have ID
pay lot of money for them at
that time.
A man having an old grade,
can ship him, winter a calf in
stead, buy the calf for about the.
same that the grade will bring.
Bates county is running an
awfully close race 8 behind Cass
county at the last report. We
have received 6 requirements
since then and hope this sale will
put us ahead. Of course, Cass
county is working too and that
is more reason why we wano
these requirements. The Kansas
City Chamber Of Commerce gives
$4,000 for first prize, $3.50 for
second prize, $3.50 for third prize
and 800 for fourth prize. The
free publicity and advertising
for the county winning first, will
be Of more Importance than the
cash prize. We need the help Of
every one in the county. Let's
all work for this contest and turn
in all reports possible.

PLANT JUICE WAS
MOST WONDERFUL
Wilmington Lady Gives a
Strong Testimonial for the
New Stomach Medicine.

Ask any one of dozen of your ac-
quaintances who have reached or passed
the middle age of life how they feel. At
least one will say: II am not az all well
lately. guess ] am wearing out-stom-
ach seems to have gone back on me.
am getting along, you know, nearing
forty. Think OF how many men and
women YOU know who are old at forty,
be just in the heydey Of their prime Most
of them are old because their stomachs
have aged before their bodies; they are
worn out because their stomachs are
worn out
Plant Juice, the famous herbal stomach
medicine, has kept thousands of stom-
achs from wearing out before their time
has made them like new, and their
owners now feel like new men and
women.
One of the latest to give signed state
ment for Plant Juice is Mrs Emma Simp-
son, well known Wilmington lady, re-
siding at No. 729 Gray street. who has
host Of friends. She tells how Plant Juice
restored her husband to health, as fol-
lows:
PLANT Juice brought the most wonder
ful benefit to my husband when he had
about given up all hope Of ever being well
again. He had indigestion so bad that he
could not keep the lightest kind Of food
in his stomach and he suffered such pain
from gas that he could never sleep at
night; he got so nervous and run down
that he could hardly get around his blood
was in bad condition and he had pimples
and boils all over his body; his skin was
so itchy that he was continually scratch
ing it and was in misery all the time. He
had tried about everything in medicines
and treatments but never got any benefit
until he began to take Plant Juice. The
boils and pimples have all disappeared;
he has fine appetite for his meals, sleeps
weu at night and is no longer consti-
pated. Plant Juice has built his system
right up and we cannot say too much in
praise of it,.
Plant Juice is sold in Wilmington at
The Miller Drug Store, 4044O6 Market
street; in New Castle by +. Challenger d
Son; in Newport by G. b. White; in
Newark by W. L. Brown.
