On impulse without thinking what

SOL NEWMAN AND PARTY
RETURN FROM ALASKA
From the Joplin News-Herald.

From the Joplin News Herald.
A description of Alaska and the
scenery of the great northwest coun-
try was given today by Sol Newman
treasurer of the Newman Mercantile
Company, who has returned with his
son and daughter and a party of St.
Louis friends from sight seeing visit
to that region.
The arctic country with its tower
ing snow capped mountains, winding
glaciers and queer inhabitants, he
said, was truly land of charm and
natural beauty. The bustling fish
ing camps, deserted villages of the
past gold rush, and Eskimo camps
were some of the sights observed.
Clad in heavy winter garments, the
party landed from The Pacific at one
point and went inland, ascending a
mountain to stand upon the matted,
twisted and ground up mass of rocks,
vegetation and ice chunks forming the
passive bed of a glacier.
The party has been gone since
June 30. At st. Paul, Newman and
his two children were joined by Dr..
and Mrs. M. E. Haase of st. Louis,
and with them, travelled through
parts of Canada, arriving at Van
couyer where Pacific boat was
boarded for a trip up the Alaskan
coast. Some Of the places visited
were Prince Rupert, Ebert Bay, Col
ony Coast, Juno. the capital, Skaga-
way and White Horse.

NEOSHO DRY GOODS
STORE SOLD

From Neosho Miner g. Mechanic.
McElhaney & Tatem have sold their
dry goods and ladies' ready to wear
store on the north side of the square
to Ford & Carpenter of Fairview, Mo.
The new firm taking over this busi-
ness is composed Of Mr.. w. A. Ford
and Mrs. Lottie Carpenter, both of
Fairview. Mr.. Ford was in the mer-
camille business at Fairview for some
twelve or thirteen years. Mrs. Car
penter's husband, who died few
years ago, was president of the First
National Bank at Fairview and also
engaged in the grain business at that
place. Both come highly recommend
ed and we feel sure the store under
their management will maintain its
former enviable reputation for. square
dealing and 100 per cent service, and
continue to enjoy large and pros
porous business.
