An yeditor Commenting on the fact, says: “The corsets should be done away with and if the girl can’t live with out being squeezed, we suppose men could be found who would sacrifice themselves. As old as we are, we would rather devote three hours a day, without a farthing of pay, asa brevet corset, than see these girls die off in that manner. Office hours almost any time.” F. C. Lindley, ‘of Dade county, Mo., purchased of Colyer brothers last week one of their fine Kentucky jacks. Price paid $800. It was a fine animal and will add greatly to the stock interests of his county Owing to the fact that jacks are very searce in this county, we think our farmers made a serious mistake in not buying the entire herd. Franz Bernhardt and Jim Holt have formed a co-partnership in the drug business, and the store has been re-opened in the stand former- ly oceupied by Walls & Holt in Mr. Bernhardt’s building. The stock of goods is the same owned by Walls ; & Holt, Mr. Walls selling his inter- est to Mr. Barnhardt. The Ties wishes the new firm success. Farmers, Lane owns the only pro- duce exchange that is run in Bates county. Having a of my interest in Franz Barnhardt, and Jas. Holt, my old partner, who have re-opened in the old stand on the north side of the square, and thanking the public for past patronage and favors, I hope to see my friends give the new firm that same cordial support as was giv en me.
