Last Thursday Mrs. Al. Livingston, of Old Walnut, was taken before the county court at Butler and adjudged insane and was ordered taken to Asy- lum No. 3 at Nevada. For the last year or more she has terrorized the inhabitants of Old Walnut. Herdelu- sion was that quite a number of chil- dren around Old Walnut belonged to her husband, in which she had threat- ened death. The women living in that vicinity feared she might enter their home unaware and do harm to their little babies. They did right by taking her to the asylum before she decreased the population of Old Wal- nut. Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Gray cele- brated their 40th wedding anniver- sary Thursday, September 9th, '1909, at their home in the northeast part of town.

Any one would wonder where they got the corn, but they did not have to go to Kansas or Oklahoma for it. They can raise such stuff in Bates county. M. N. Teeter moved to Adrian about the 5th of the month, and Jim Mosher rented Milton’s farm for next year. Ora Doyle, the line man on Adrian line, is putting up a new barn on his place in town. W. D. Keirsey is putting up a fine basement barn on_ his fine farm west of town, one-half mile. It will bea dinger, too. Mr. Keirsey isa No. 1 farmer and knows stock and crops, when he sees them.

Superintendent of Confederate Home Succumbed to Old Wounds, Complicated by Heart Troubles. ny Mo., Sept. 11.—To J. D. Allen, Butler, Mo.:—Col. Pace died 9:30 last night. Funeral at Home Sunday afternoon. H. B. Duvall. The above dispatch was quite a shock to our people. While it was known that he had tendered his re- signation as Superintendent of the Confederate Home to take effect Octo- ber Ist, on account of ill health, we did not understand his case was criti- cal, Col. Jas. L. Pace came to Bates county in the early seventies and set- tled on a farm near Altona. He was elected Recorder of Deeds in 1874 and again in 1878, During his term in office he promoted North Main street and built the Pace block. He was largely instrumental in securing the building of the Emporia railroad and promoted Foster, in which he lost heavily. He was Mayor of But- ler, and Governor Stone appointed him Warden of the Missouri Peniten- tiary, in which capacity he promoted many prison reforms, notably among which was the abolition of the whip- ping post at the prison. Eight years ago he was elected by the Board of Managers Superintendent of the Con- federate Home at Higginsville and made a splendid record in that capac- ity. Col. Pace was a broad-minded liberal gentleman of marked ex- ecutive ability and had the distinction of making good in the many impor- tant positions to which he attained. He was loyal to his friends, of unim- peachable honor and integrity, promi- nent in county and state affairs. He entered the Confederate Arnfy when but a boy, was badly wounded in the first’ engagement in which he parti- cipated and was left for dead upon the field. This old wound always gave him more or less trouble, and as he grew older, it brought on other complications. He leaves a widow and one daughter, Mrs. Duvall. He was buried with honors at the Con- federate Home. Mulberry and Western Bates. School at Mulberry commenced Monday Sept. 13 with James Pahl- man as teacher. Mrs. R. Bohlken visited with her daughter, Mrs. John Dykman Thurs- day. Oscar Harris was up at Amsterdam on business Thursday. at the John R. Knox home. Dode Worley attended the Adrian street fair. The ice cream supper at the Mul- berry church Friday evening was well attended and everybody ~had a pleasant evening. The amount taken in was $26.00. I don’t know asI ever saw as many good cakes as they had, surely it would be a hard thing to find as many first class cake makers as there are in this neighbor- hood. David R. Braden left on the early morning train Monday for Sterling, Kansas, to attend school. David is a hustler and will no doubt make a suc- cess in school. Miss Maud Williams who is teach- ing the Miami Center school drove over Friday evening to attend the ice cream supper and visited at the David Clark home until Sunday evening.
