We see that our friend Leon
w. Mathews, editor of the Bates
County Republican at Rich Hill.
has been placed on the Republi-
can ticket for Probate Judge.
Dynamite. as he is Familiarity
called will no doubt lend dignity
to the campaign and if elected
would fill the judicial seat in
keeping with the custom OF the
position, but we would advise our
friend not to dispose of his print
shop until after the election IS
over.
We see that we are to have a
circus here Sept. Dist. Gollmar
Bros. will exhibit their big show
ON that occasion. We expect to
be there and we are expecting a
complimentary ticket. Bert
Bradley says he will have. a few

us if we Just let the fact be
known. If Bert doesn't ask us
we will have to go with Squire
Hemstreet or Constable Stott.
The writer returned last week
from quite a visit to Ell Dorado
Springs, and arrived here IN,
time for the Old Settlers Picnic:
We had a fine visit t. the
Springs and met many OF or Old
friends and saw many Bates
county people while there. We
left Uncle Henry Wise there en-
joying life. We met Chas. Spill
man and wife, formerly of Elk
hart, now of Metz and we en-
loved a visit from them. Judge
Harper was there enjoying the
spring water and says that he
likes the water so we'll that he
spends much Of his time there.
We met our good friend Chas.
Fri, of Elkhart, the versatile cor
respondent Of the Adrian Jour
nal under the nom de plume Of
Sitter, and we sure had a fine
time together.
We are sorry to note the death
of Uncle Moses Concklin, who
was found dead at the home OF
his brother, l. J. Concklin Satur-
day morning. Mr.. Concklin was
a fine gentleman and made his
home here most of his time.
Judge C. A. Calvird, of Gin.
ton dropped off a few hours SAT-
urday and chatted with the boys
and talked over the political sit
uation. The judge is a candi-
date for reelection and it looks
like he will be given substan-
tial Endorsement in November as
he has made a fine judge and
the public is well pleased with
his record.
Congressman c.. G. Dickinson
of Clinton was visitor here Old
Settlers Day and met many II
his old time friends and &C .uain-
tances. Mr.. Dickinson is now
the Democratic nominee rom
this district and we believe when
the new House of Representatives
convenes next year that he viii
be the sitting member from tn:
{ Sixth Missouri district.

held here last Wednesday aud w
