THE ADAIR COUNTY NEWS 1 n. From Missouri. Carrollton, Jan. 30ch, 1915. Editor News: If you will allow me a little space I will try to give you a news from old Missouri. We are having real cold, bad winter. The ground has been covered with snow, with the exeception of 3 or 4 days, since the 12th of December. We have about a 2 inch snow now with 14 below zero in Carrollton last Monday, but it is not so cold now but it looks like we would have a slick time, for it is raining and freezing and don't look a bit good to me. Stock of all descirption is looking well. Most of the people seem to be enjoying good health. The country was full of what the doc tors called small pox and there are a few cases in this neighbor hood yet, but it don't amount to anything. I understand that some of the Shirley boys took it from here back to Adair county, but you people back there don't want to be alarmed for I tell you it don't amount to anything for there has been 100 or more cases in my knowing around here. It didn't hurt anybody except a few that had a doctor. They got pretty sick. Four of my boys had it but it didn't make them sich. only about 48 hours, then they would go to work. So, if it is smallpox, I would ad vise all of you to try to get it, while it is so small that it don't kill, for there is a kind that kills Say, you people back there sure did the right thing when you elected Rollin Hurt and Beck ham. You have the right men in the right place. Now, if you will just remember Mr. Strange and Mr. Ottley in the next coun ty race, as they both proved themselves to be the choice of the Democrats of Adair county. Won the nomination over to good men and was then defeat ed by men of the Democratic party so, I think they are just as much entitled to the places occupied by your present judge and school Superintendent as was Mr. Beckham to the place occupied by Senator Bradley. Wishing you all prosperity for the next twelve months, I will ring off, Respectfully, J. T. Taylor. The Liver Regulate the Body A Sluggish Liver Needs Care.
