cultivator as the "DEERE" but they are just like the parrot. Some cultivators are being offered the grade and are claimed

MAY DEDICATE COURTHOUSE ON
JULY 4TH
It has been suggested that the
new county court house be dedi
cated on July 4. which in our
estimation, would be a splendid
date for this important event. It
is a holiday and everybody
generally wants to go some
where, and nothing could be
more appropriate than the dedi
cation of the court house on this
date. Let the people consider
this matter and everybody get
together on this date and have a
regular house warming, that will
never be forgotten by the present
generations.
Barry county has a court
house that her citizens can feel
proud of, because, first we have
our moneys worth. Second, be
cause it is the most convenient
court house in this state. Third
because it has one of the best
circuit court rooms in this state.
on the first floor. Fifth, because
it is easy of access for the old
people and we have all the room
necessary. Sixth, because we
have a public rest room, etc We
could state many more reasons
why it is the best. Cassville
