Make Your Selections of Holiday
Goods Early.
Last year the slogan was "Do
Your Holiday Shopping Early."
It bad its effect, and many folks
took advantage of the sugges
tion, thereby avoiding the rush
later on. This year it is more
important than ever that you do
your shopping early if you want
the choice selections, for people
have got into the habit of buy
ing early, and if you delay mak
ing your selections the things
you want may be gone.
Do your shopping early. Pick-
out what you want and have it
laid away. Baxter Springs mer
chants are receiving their holi
day goods already.
Damnable Condition.
The bridge over Spring river
just east of this city is in damna
ble condition, to say the least.
Where planks have worn through
patches have been put on and it
is impossible to dodge the patches.
It is a shame and a disgrace, the
condition the floor of this bridge
is in. And the attention of the
county commissioners is very
respectfully called to the matter.
Miss Zella Wright is visiting
friends and relatives in Joplin.
Last Saturday night the Jun
iors and Seniors of the high
school "pulled off" a very enjoya
ble party in the basement of the
high school building.
The girl friends of the "Arib-
tonian" Club gave a very success
ful mask ball at the Majestic
Friday night. They served a
nice luncheon about lip. m.
Fred SJtallsmith and Miss Clara
Silence, two Toun'cr people for
merly of this city, were married
at Lead, South Dakota, on 1 burs
day of last week. Both are in
every way worthy of each other
and the News extends congratu
lations.
The hill leading to the bridge
on East River street is the worst
piece of road between Cooper's
store in Baxter Springs and the
Connor hotel in Joplin. Just
why it is allowed to remain in
such a damnable, condition is
hard to understand. But it
should be put into decent condi
tion before the weather gets bad.
The road between the bridges
east of town deeds some gravel
on it right away. And inasmuch
as the river is very low at pres
ent, and gravel would be easy
to get, would it not be a good
dea to have the gravel put on?
The river will not be low very
long, and when it does come up
it will be impossible to get gravel
terhaps all winter. Now is the
time to fix it.
On the afternoon of October 25
the ladies of the W. C. T. U. or
ganization were entertained by
Mrs. E A. Haines at an informal
luncheon. Mrs. Haines is a most
delightful hostess and the after
noon was choroughly enjoyed by
all. The subject under discus
sion was the "White Slave Traf
fic. Several wonderfully inter
esting papers were read by the
following ladies: Mrs. S. B. Ap
ple, Mrs. Beathon, Mrs. Eelsey,
Mrs. John Jones, Mrs.' Frank
Congdon and Mrs. Addie Vickers
of Lowell. A general discussion
followed the reading of the pa
pers and all present strongly felt
the crying need of arousing the
public mind to a realization of
the diabolical trap set for our in
nocent American girlhood- and
the urgent need of the most strin
gent laws "to stamp out this most
horrible traffic in human souls.
Following the discussion, a deli

Denison is one of the teachers in
the high school. She is an old

Wednesday and Saturday
nights We Feature at the Majes
tic. To the citizens of Baxter and
vicinity: It has been the custom
for several years for the mem
bers of the G. A. R. and W. R.
C. to serve voucher day dinners
at the G. A. R. hall in this city,
and this notice is for the purpose
of explaining the object of such,
and extending a cordial invita
tion to all to patronize the same
Friday, Nov. 4. A fine dinner
will be served and the proceeds
devoted wholly to assisting the
unfortunate, ill and needy. As
winter draws near there is much
need of help, especially for old
soldiers, who by reason of age or
illness are unable to labor. Sol
diers, help your comrades by
having your vouchers filled out
at G. A. R. hall. By Order of
the Post.

Died, at . her home in Severy,
Kansas, Wilma Opal, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Ferguson,
born Jan. 15, 1910, died Oct 19,
1910, aged nine months and four
days. It was a shock to the
many relatives of little Wilma
when the message was received
announcing her death,, as she,
with her mother, had been away
from here only weekt having
oeen here on a visit, leaving in
apparent good health. . Funeral
services were held in this city at
the home of the grandfather, W.
C. Black, conducted by Rev.
Parbam, after which the remains
were laid to rest in the Baxter
csmetery. And Jesus said, "Suf

Booster Day.
Saturday is the Day, and it is
Your Duty to Help Make
it a Success.
Saturday of this week, Nov.
5tb, if you please, is Booster Day,
and if the weather is good there
is going to be a record breaking
crowd in town. It is your duty
to do all in your power to make
the day a huge success from every
point of view. The people are
coming to Baxter Springs from
all over the country on that day,
and the town is going to be
crowded. Make it a point, Mr.
Business Man, to make your place
attractive. Make your prices for
that day attractive, too, for if
you once get the people in the
habit of coming to Baxter Springs
they are going to keep it up.
Past experience has proven that
these Booster days are mighty
gcod things. There are very few
merchants who do not agree with
this statement, and those who do
not are those who disagree in or
der to get out of paying any of
the expenses. But those kind of
fellows are found' in all walks of
life. The knocker you have with
you always, but you can very
materially reduce the number by
not paying attention to him. The
best way in the world to whip a
fellow is to not pay any atten
tion to him.
To the town people we want
to make this suggestion. Buy
early in the day Saturday, for
later in the day the merchants
are going to be busy with out-of
town trade. By making your
Saturday purchases earlier in the
day you will be benefitting not
?nly yourself, but jouwill ac
commodate your merchant by al
lowing him a better chance to
wait on his out-of-town trade.

Details Being Closed up Pre
paratory to Building Elec
tric Road.
It will not be a great while,
judging from the success the
electric line people are meeting
with, until work will begin on
the electric road connecting up
the towns of Galena, Columbus,
Baxter Springs and Miami. De
tails are now being worked out
very rapidly, and it is thought
that within a few days the peo
ple will be taken into the confi
dence of the company, and every-
tbine made p ain to them. It is
possible some assistance is going
to be asked, not a great deal,
however, and it will not be asked
in the nature of a donation.
The line is going to be built.

Gas is Coming.
The Real Kind, That Can be Used
for Heating and Cooking.
i
Pipe and other materials for
the gas company are arriving
and work has commenced, in a
way. It is thought the gas will
be here in time to furnish fuel
for the winter. Mr. Warner,
connected with the company, told
us Monday they will lay a mile
of pipe a day, and if that is true
they will be "going some." Will
Jones is the local representative
of the company, and ii you are
going to want gas in your busi
ness house or residence, please
report to him right away so he
can list you. If you wait until
later on you may not have the
gas when you want it. He wants
to make the proper connections
es fast as possible. You need
