THE ADAIR BOUNTY NEWS
From Missouri.
' . Bogard, 10, 4, 1913.
Editor News:
At date of my last letter from
this place the climate or at
least,' the weather was intensely
dry and hot. For the past two
weeks, however, the situation
has been relieved by good rains,
and the verdant carpet of blue
.grass, wheat, clover and other
revived vegetation certainly glad
den the eyes of a Kentuckian.
Sopakinc: of fhee pons of the
martial commonwealth, they are
here in great force. Mention
has been made of my brother,
Bram White, Geo. Frankum, Will
Bottoms, Garnett Morris, Bob
Owen and John White; all of
whom are either here or obtained
their start here in a financial
way, but some have gone to
greener fields and pastures new;
while Loren Snow lies buried
near Mandeville, where I am
teaching, and Leslie is near the
border line in the state of Kan
sas. On Saturday, I had the pleas
ure of meeting W. M. Wilmore,
once of Adair county, Kentucky,
but now of Bogard, Mo. He
keeps a soit drink saloon and res
turant, and prospers in his bus
iness. You can always distin
guish a Kentuckian here by his
mustache. Every Kentucky mi
gratory bird wears a set that a
colonel of cavalay might envy.
. I have previously mentioned
several Kentucky Colonels, and
one, I have not seen, but heard
him. I was at home of Bram
White, when I was informed that
a. very martial and strident voice
from Braymer, 15 miles distant,
was calling for roe, and I learn
ed it was none other than Pete
Rosenbaum, who desired to pass
the time of day He was using
a 'phone, but can be heard 15
miles with his stentorian lungs,
without any scientific help. He
is said to live in Prosperity street,
and has, for consort, Mollie Mor
ris, formerly of old Adair. It is
3aid that he is a tuneful Levite,
and introduced "The Harp of
Columbia" into the music of
Missouri, and created a sensa
tion in favor . of the Kentucky
product.
Nearly all Kentuckians who
come here, are partial to Ken
tucky lassies, for Bram has mar
ried two of them, and Pete Ros
enbaum remained loyal. I was
very much taken with Kentucky
damsels myself, but as Clif Wil
liamson, of North Carolina was
by praying I never could have
any luck. Every where I tried
to make goo-goo eyes, the ver
dict was; "No Irish need apply."
The girls here look so much like
Kentucky girls that I have voted
-them things of beauty and a joy
forever. But readers of Adair
County News will remember the
vivid portrayal of my heart rend
ing experiences when I rode the
farm as big Missouri and tried to
be young Lochinvar. About all
the trouble I had was, that the
girl and all their people objected
to my society and attentions; and
even took name of the big Mis-
sourian in vain. I am now teach
ing 59 pupils at Mandeville, about
10 of whom are as good looking
las the star-eyed Goddess of Re
form immortalized by Col. Hen
ry Watterson.
They say my features would
stop a clock or '.turn milk sour.
Leslie White, my nephew, is a
handsome young man, but says
Mandeville damsels are uncer
tain, coy and hard to please.
The men of Mandeville look with
forbidding eye on any way faring
man who seeks to woo these
damsels, and he is invited from
Lover'sLane to Scrapper's street.
Here men of valor do mostly
congregate, and h man of 56
wheat harvests would find Jordon
a hard road to travel.
Of course I am not on the mar
ket, having been married many
moons. But I failed to fetch a
gun, and I am no longer able to
awing a solar plexus Dlow.
However, one of my school di
rectors has the brawn of John
L. Sullivan in his palmiest days,
and if 1 am called to Scrapper.s
street I'll yield the scepter of
authority to him and I'll shoe
mules for twenty minutes. In
that time he can bring in a ver
dict, for he is a man of valor and
the village blacksmith.
My mouth has never watered
for battle, and as I grow older
my bump of caution expands.

Avoid Sedative COuyh Medicines.
If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrence of capillary b-"','-tis
and pneumonia use cough -
icines that contain codine, rnorp...,
heroin aud other sedatives when you
have a cough or cold. An expectorant
like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
what is needed. That cleans out the
culture beds or breeding places for
the germs of pneumonia and other
germ diseases. That is why pneumo
nia never results from a cold when
Chamberlain's Cough Eemedy is used.
It has a world wide reputation for its
cures. It contains no morphine or
other bedative. For sale by Paull

Editor News:
I will write a little if you will
allow me space in your paper. I
am always glad to get it and
when it comes, I read every item
eagerly to hear from all the
Adair county people whom I love
so dearly.
I left home in February with
Jim Shirley and Sawney Brown-
ing, for Missouri. We all found
work near each other, and my
landlord was fine, and had a good
wife. They were so kind to me.
I enjoyed my work there, and
farming was so nice and easy.
Cousin Luther Wilmore and fam
ily and Frank Shirley, all were
there, and so good and kind to
me, I felt that I was among home
folks and friends. I can never
forget them for their hospitality.
They are true Kentuckians, yet
Missouri people are like them
good and kind.
Heft there to come here, think
ing I could make more money,
and I have a good paying job
hauling cotton seed. I get 15c
Der ton. I hauled 35 tons from
6 a. m., to 6 p. m., but I can not
do thad every day, but I average
25 tons per day, but this will
Sive out soon.
I mean to come home X-mas.
Jim and I plan to meet in Louis
ville, and go home together, and
then we will tell you all about
the pretty country, good wages,
good times and pretty girls, and
whisper to our dear mothers and
sweethearts, -we found no equal
to them or old Adair.
So good bye till X-mas.
Yours truly,
Guy Yates Nell.
