I will have a public sale of per- sonal property at my residence one and onehalf miles southeast of Stumptown, Monday Sept. 12th The sale will consist of horses, cows, hogs, hay, 46 acres of corn in field, farming implements and household goods. Lucas Cowart. A Jasper county boy writes home from the Klondike: “There are more discouraged people here than I ever sawin my life. Every tent or boat hasasignup: “Outfit for sale” Everybody is cursing the country and the newspapers. It is something wonderful to ees how people have come in here. All they say now is, ‘I want togo home’”’ Dr. Renick informs us that Will Powell's condition is very much im proved. The swelling in his tongue and neck bas about disappeared and he is free to partake of nourishment. For two or three days he wasin rather a critical condition owing to swelling in his throat interfering with his swallowing. It is gratifing to know he is so much better and that hopes of his recovery are bright. We understand a horse and bug- gy was stolen from the hitch rack on the public square Tuesday night. The rig belonged to W. H. Hyatt a farmer residing east of town a short distance. Mr. Hyatt had driven to town with his son to attend the Uncle Tom Cabin show which was playing ina tent on North Main Street. The show let out about 10 o’clock and when he came for his | rig he found it gone. Thieves are certainly getting prettv bold when they take a man’s horse and buggy from the hitch rack at so early an hour in the evening. The robbers must be the same outfit operating at Nevada. In the past few days several horses and buggies have been stolen from citizens of that town. The thieves going into private stables and deliberately hitching up the animals and driving off. We notice our good friend, Jesse E. Parks, who for the past three years has acted as chief clerk at the Missouri Pacific depot, has accepted the position in the Farmers Bank recently resigned by Mr. Pratt Wyatt, the latter having gone into the lumber business. The bank is to be congratulated ‘upon securing the services of so excellent a gentle man. Mr. Parks 1s unusually affable and, together with this, his eight years service with the above com- pany, where accuracy is one of the necessary qualifications, has well fitted him to fill the position which he has just accepted. During the extended absence of Mr. Vander- vort this summer he has acted as 1 agent and has given entire satisfac- | tion to the publicin general We predict that Mr. Parks will become as popular with the customers of the Farmers Bank as he has been with these of the R.

Frank Saita & Son. Prof. Henry’s crack band of South west Missouri left for Humansville last Tuesday morning to contest for $100 prize that was offered by the G. A. R. reunion now in session at that place. This is conceded to be one of the best bands in this section of the state, and our people expect to see it come back crowned with the laurels of victory —ElDorado Sun. Prof. Henry’s home is at Foster and the majority of the members of his band are Bates county boys. A county superintendent in a neighborhood county asked every teacher at the institute if they took their county or local paper, and only six acknowledged they did. The superintendent expressed surprise, and said: “You don’t spend a dollar @ year with these papers, and yet you expect them to advertise you, to print free of charge all notices of institute, insert long programs and } in many other ways assist you to! climb the ladder to better pesitions | and salaries without a cent in return.” A very sensible superin tendent.
