The marvelous success of Hood's Sarsaparilla is based upon the cor- ner stone of absolute merit. Take Hood's throughout the spriug months.

Didn’t you hear about the Long shooting in Lone Oak. Yes. Still you don’t kuow notihng. This is the way a reporter gets the news. Last Saturday the six prisoners in the jail concluded things were not going to suit them and refused to obey the sheriff's orders. He locked them in the outer part of the cage for the day, with nothing to sit on, and fed them on bread and water, and at night locked them in the cage cells. The same treatment was kept up till, at four o’clock Monday afternoon all but one had concluded to obey their jailor and were given their former liberties and rations. Enoch Haines at this writing (Tues- day afternoon), is still in close con finement on a diet of bread and water ‘The way of the trangres- sor is hard,” and it’s a fine thing to be able to realize, at all times, when you are well treated.—Harrisonville Missourian.

When asked for the news from his section Mr. Hogan said: “you can say for me Bates is the best county in the state and Adrian is the best town in Bates for business. Our elevator men are kept busy handling grain and our stores do a good business.” If every farmer would talk like Mr Hogan land would seon be worth $50 and $60 an acre, town lots would go at @ premium and all kinds of business would flourish.
