Our good friend, Leo Mitchener' ol
Dalton was here buying hogs one day
last week.
Fred Driskill of Sturdivant, Mo, Is
visiting his son, Elmer, and wife mere
this week.
We heard a good man say recently
that If the roads got any worse rae
coon could not go from Ingram TO
Pocahontas without walking the fence
half Of the time.
Mrs. II. NJ. johnson is still real SICK
at her home near Antioch. DIR. Pace Is
treating her.
Our merchants, j. l.. COndict and S'
McNabb, are enjoying a good trade.
Each of these men also has good
grist mill and give their customers
good meal and a square deal.
Say, Dalton and Elevenpoint, yOu
boys are getting too badly excited. All
we said for starter was that several
of our farmers thought that the county
agents salary would do more good II
10 fnH IN, tho n1hliP TOA0S
Now. il is just possible that one or
both of you boys are j. p. and If
there is any law to prohibit a man
from expressing his honest opinion on
any public question in this free cOun-
try please show us where to find IT,
You talk like 1t is a crime. Every
time we mention the name, county
agent, you boys go out OF one spash
into another one.
Elevenpoint said In one OF his para
bles there was certain man VINO Nv
ed at Ingram who went down to POca-
hontas to cuss the county agent our.
What buncombe! We have met ana
talked with nearly all of the county
agents who have functioned III thlS
county and have found them to be nice
pleasant gentlemen and should one OF
them come our way we would treat
him with due respect instead of cuss-
ing him out.
ElevenpOint says we want to live IN
the past like our forefathers did, etc
Better touch light on the fOrefather
business, sonny. They skinned us fel-
= lows city block making living. They
never rode Old Henry or listened in on
the radio but they lived at home and
boarded at the same place. They did
not keep their smOkehOuse in st. Louis
or their flour barrel in Jefferson City,
neither did they have any modern
Moses County AGENT To lead them
} out of the wilderness. They did not
stay in debt until they staged a full
fledged case of insomnia.
And now comes Dalton shifting
around like an old red fox, who has
left his toes in a double spring trap.
/. He wants to lay up some gaps for us.
7 He says we bestowed lots of this hog
: and hominy advice on our neighbors
but now we have turned against 1t.
/, Sure we gave lots of this advice, hut
it is worn threadbare. What advise
we gave was free and if you want
salaried man to keep pouring this adj
wise int Oyour ear we have no Objec-
tions. Just go to it, sonny.
You say when we are sick we need
a doctor SpOndulix is what we need.
Most anyone can tell the poor old farm
ers to buy fine dairy cows, hogs, etc,
and to SOW lots of good pasture but
it takes money to go all of the gaits
and that is something that the poor
old farmer cant get Many can only
pay the interest on their last years
debts and lots of others don't know
where this years tax money is to
come from.
He looks like making Rome howl,
doesn't he?
Say, if you boys keep sending these
wind storms down through Jackson
and Ingram townships some one is
going TO have to start a public sub
scription to raise an emergency fund
to help pay for the damage done 10
crops.
We hope you boys will cool down by
thmS6gene Farroand let us baptise YOU
Sunday night. mex 10 you Doth.
