Mr. Prier also informs us that the prospect for a peach crop, especially of the early varieties, is very encour- aging.—Appleton City Journal.

Did you ever stop to consider how meny independent concerns there are in Missouri? That, that are absolutely independent Tek» any factories or stores in any town and they agree on some things if not on others. Now which should we encourage, combines where one concern says just what you shall pay, or sh4il we keep up competition? In other words as long as we keep up competition we have low prices Large or small com- bines, we feel it. Why are combines formed? The shortest way to answer this ts to say, “to skin the people.” We want every- _ body to know that we are pleased to state that we are not yet “busted” as the Butler combine sald we would be, and it is be- cause the people appreciate oar stand. Wewish to thank one and ull for their generous patronage since we begun our inde- pendent manner of doing business. In all respect and with the kindest intentions, the Star desires to offer a suggestion to the public concern- ing thecustom of publishing cards of thanks upon occasions of bereave- ment. People donot offersympathy ond assistance at such times expect- ing anything in return. There is no need for publicly expressing thanks because we are appreciated when we render assistance in time of trouble. Cards of thanks are not news items. —Warrensburg Star. Hume Telephone.—Dr. W.

Fastened to the tree was abut- falo hide in a fairly good state of preservation. It is the opinion of many that the tree is a rellc of prime- val days and that the buffalo skin was fastened there by an Indiantong years ago for the purpose of tanntag it.
