ty, proposes to use an automobile af
ter this. He says when he puts a mail
order catalog or a patent medicine
advertisement in the box, he will
honk the horn once, and when it's a

During the circuit court at Char
leston, Mississippi count', several
persons who have notable names, were
on the carpet. Joseph Folk was
charged with violating the local
option law; Andrew Jackson was up
for petit larceny; Robert E. Lee asked
for divorce; John Quincy Adams re
ported on his parole; Odie Black was
on trial for killing a man named Van
Buren. W. A. Mohler, who a number of
years ago was connected with our
cannery, then later in charge of the
Savannah canning factory, has re
turned to St. Joseph from Galena,
Missouri, where, for the past two
years, he has had charge of a canning
factory. He returns because they
can't raise the stuff to can down in
the Ozark country like they can in
Northwest Missouri.
Several have asked us lately about
J. E. Strickler, the man who recently
bought Mack Ulmer's big 776 acre
stock farm, paying over $46,000 for it.
Mr. Strickler resides near Skidmore,
and owns 220 acres of fine land there.
Also 720 acres near Craig and 80 acres
near Clearmont. Besides this, he
rents all the pasture ground he can,
and keeps it all covered with cattle
that he ships from his ranches in the
southwest Hopkins Journal.
The Missouri river has been cut
ting into the land pretty badly again,
southeast of town. The rip-rapping
crew who had to abandon the work at
that point on account of the high
stage of the water this summer, took
their boats away when the work was
stopped. It was the intention to re
sume work as soon as the river went
down again, but up to this time it has
not been done. A peculiar feature is
the fact that the worst damage to
the banks against which the current
flows, is done when the water is low
or rather, as it is receding. Two of
the revetment piers constructed by
the rip-rapping crew, last spring, have
been washed out and mostly carried
away, representing a damage of con
siderable magnitude. Craig Leader.

He was carried to his home and Dr.

right, but will be laid up for about a
month Jeffersonian
The Rockport Journal says, "A
miniature airship, No. 261, landed on
John Oswald's farm, south of town,
at 5:30 Tuesday evening. It was sent
up by the Mount Observatory, at
Bluemont, Va., the same day and
consequently traveled about 2,000
miles at a remarkably rapid rate, and
it was exhibited at the High school.
A card attached to the machine re
quested its return to Bluemont at
once, and for its return Mr. Oswald
will receive $2." It was later found
to be a weather baloon and was sent
up several days previous and so did
not travel as rapidly as the dates on
the machine indicated.

Forest City, lost one of his corn cribs,
bv tire, Thursdav evening ot last
week, October 8th. He was away
from home at the time, and can not
account for the origin of the lire.
Visitors to our little city this
summer, and especially those who
had formerly resided here, were loud
in their praises of the neat condition '
of our cemeteries. They have never ,
looked so well as this year, and the .
community owes the "Mum'' society
a debt of gratitude. Those who have
dear ones sleeping over on the hill,
should see that this work is kept up. ,
The society asks each lot owner for j
the small sum of aieachseason and in j
return keeps the lots, in fact, the
cemeteries in good condition. The
dollar is not a "gift" or "donation."
The bankers of group three of the
state bankers was in session at St.
Joseph Monday and Tuesday of this
week. The National Central Bank,
as proposed by Senator Aldrich, was
the chief topic of interest and discus
sion. Will Simms, of Forbes township,
was in the party that went from here
to the Sedalia state fair, and before
leaving home, went out to his com
field and pulled off a few ears of his
Yellow Dent variety, put them in his
telescope, and took them down to the
fair with him, and he put them on
exhibition, just to be doing some
thing to help the show along, imagine
his surprise, if you can, when on pass
ing the corn exhibit the second day
after, he found a blue ribbon dang
ling and fluttering from one of the
ears. He had unexpectedly won first
premium, $15 on the best ear of corn.
He was offered $25 for the ear, but
declined it. The managers of the fair
will exhibit the ear at the Omaha
and Chicago corn shows this fall.
