If you do not take advantage
of the big reduction sale now
jfoing on at Cooper's you are
naking a big mistake.
105 acres of mighty good land
for sale at $20 per acre. The
land is' mostly in grass, a small
part being in cultivation. Terms
will be made to the right party.
Well, it is over; and it was the
biggest thing that ever happened
in the West. Every newspaper
whicn has reached this office
ipeaks in the very highest terms
of the big Baxter reunion. All
visiting newspaper men who re
ported to the license agent were
treated right, and they went
home with a warm apot in their
hearts for the big reunion.
The Joplin Daily American and
News-Herald say there were
eighty thousand people at the
big reunion last Thursday. And
they predict that next year, with
the improvements that are to be
made in the park, there will be
an attendance of 100,000 people.
The Joplin papers certainly treat
ed the big reunion very fairly
during the event. Each . paper
had hustling representatives on
the grounds all week.
Last week Marshal Kimball ar
rested a fellow in this city who
waswantel in St. Clair county,
Mo. 'The charge against the
fellow was resisting an officer,
and there was a reward of $50

the gentleman, who went by the
name of Bert Hedricks. O. S.
Butcher, Sheriff of St. Clair coun
ty, came after Hedricks and took
him back Sunday evening. Mar
shal Kimball accompanied the
Missouri officer.

says he intends to do so as long
h livr. He cast hia first nree-
idential rote for Harrison over'

Bloomer day, Monday, Sept 10.
Mrs. Tom C. Moore of Kansas
City is visiting her mother, Mrs.
W. II. Hornor, in this city.
Guy Large has returned from
Eugene, Oregon, where he has
been working for the past few
months. '
Miss Marguerite Patton of Ra
ton, New Mexico, who has been
visiting relatives in this city, left
Wednesday for Weir City, where
she will visit relatives.
Miss Donna Patton returned
Wednesday to her home in Kan
sas City, after taking in the re
union and enjoying a good visit
with relatives in this city?
Nearly everybody marvels at
the extra good order maintained
on the grounds during the big
reunion. The big reunions are
managed in a very systematic
manner, and good order necessa
rily follows good managment.
Every officer of the association
had certain duties to perform, and
in the performance of them there
was no friction, hence the smooth
ness of matters and things.
There is a large gathering of
old soldiers at Baxter this week.
It has now become necessary for
a large scope of county to be cov
ered in order to get a large as
semblade of old veterans at a re
union. The ranks are thinning
each year and not many vears
hence "taps" will be sounded over
the grave of last of that heroic
- m m . a a
army. Many oi tnose ai uaxier
are stopped and bowed in years,
battled-scarred and worn. Many
carry their ages well and seem i t
to j-et enter an army and render
heroic service, but years are tell
ing and soon we will know them
only in memory. The sound of the
drudi and fife makes them - all
feel young for a tiaie and they
step to the music and swell with
a patriotism known only to those
who have borne the hardships of
army life. It is a pleasing sight
to see these warriors gathered
around the camp fire singing pa
triotic songs and reminiscing
their army experiences. Long
live these grand old men. Scam-

As a beginning, a small, but
strictly high class lecture course,
consisting of four numbers, has
been contracted for at a cost of
$175. Coming as they do,, on a
high salaried guarantee from one
of the best lyceum bureaus in the
United States insures each one
to be of the highest order.
Towns much smaller than Baxter
Springs have splendid lecture
courses and we see no reason why
a high class series of entertain
ments can not be snpported by
our people. The course will
probably be opened by the Fa
mous Dixie Jubilee singers, su
perior to and successors to the
Tennessee Jubilee Singers, fol
lowed by-Ash Davis, the cartoon
ist. Brush, the magician, and Dr.
Watson, the humorist and orator.
The price of a season ticket is
one dollar, with privilege of re
serving a seat for the entire
course. The ordinary price as
charged for the first number
alone, is in most places 75c and
one dollar. Think, then, of hear
ing this entertainment for only
25c by the season ticket plan.
Heralds containing complete in
formation will be sent as nearly
as possible to the different resi
dences with the request that they
be carefully read and saved for
future reference. If this effort
is properly encouraged there is
nothing to prevent our city from
eventually having a lecture course
second to none. The influence
for good of a high grade lecture
course can hardly -be overestimat
ed. Anyone wishing a season
ticketor further information may
procure same by seeing us. Dates
will be announced later.
