The object of the association is to make Bates county the best Sunday School county in Missouri. Hughes Returned. John R. Hughes, a Bates county boy who mysteriously disappeared in Kansa City, after buying and pay- ing fora grocery store, about four months ago, suddenly appeared at his fathers home in West Point township last week. He arrived in Amsterdam on the midnight train and walked to his father’s home. He had ninety dollars on his person, thoveht to be about the emount he had when hejuisappeared. His mind {a a perfect blank, 4s to where he has been or what he has been doing all this time He has au. indistinct re- membrance of going to a large brick 5 or stone house and meeting people and then his mind became a blank. He is believed to have been drugged, but if robbed he has been able to accumulate about the same amount of money in his wanderings. His ap arance would indicate that he had : on wo king asa day laborer. His = father has spent much money in try- ing to locate him. When it is con- sidered the wide yublicity the disap- pearance was given through the papers and the strenuous effort made to find him, additional mystery is added to his whereabouts during those four months. Washing and ironing solicited; sat- isfaction guaranteed. Mrs. Maggie Gibbs, first “treet south of Ft. Scott, near John Ford’s residence. 50-3t H. P.

Todd & Long have just re- turned from a three weeks’ trip through Wyoming, They report a good time. Farmers are busy cutting and har- vesting their corn, which is much better than at first supposed.
