Last Tuesday W. B. Miller was called to Vernon county, west of Metz, | to conduct the funeral of Mrs. Sirenus | Cline. He found the roads very icy and slick, so much so that in places it was difficult for his horse to stand up, though he was rough shod, yet there was a very large crowd at the funeral. Mrs. Cline was held in high | esteem by those who knew her. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery | at the Baptist church. Renters are beginning to move. | Thomas Badget is moving from the Caldwell place at New Home to the | James Bell farm, northeast of Sprague, which was recently vacated by Mr. Black, and we learn that Mr. Collins, a son-in-law of Uncle Jimmie hy Bell, will move on his father-in-law’s farm, while Mrs. Ira. Hensley is to move onto the Caldwell place being | vacated by Thomas Badget. The rabbit hunters had a big oyster supper in the old store building at New Home Saturday night and for the benefit of frivilous ones they had adance. We believed it was Hack- ney, who said that men who danced, their brains were in their heels. Mrs. Shannon don’t seem to fancy the cook stove that John bought; the oven is too small. Clover’s advise to women is this when you send your husbands to town to buy a cook stove, always go along and be sure to ex- amine the fire box, the ash pan and above all the oven. We understand that Verney Bod- kin has built him an up-to-date hen house. We are going over to inspect it one of these days. Don’t know whether they are getting any eggs or not. Mrs. W. B.

We heard that January always has rado Springs came in Jan. 5th and will do farm work for his father-in- law this summer. Sam Farmer ison a mule trade with W. C. Simpson.

We learn that there was one very good looking woman and rea- sonably young, who wanted to attend | real bad, and some who were inter- | ested, and who were under special obligation to her, and who had an op- portunity to, did not invite her. Clover thinks it a shame. Jessie Miller did not get home last Saturday on account of bad roads. Mrs. Bennett visited at John Shan- nun’s Friday. now. Price Hudson and Mrs. Jacobs are numbered with the sick at present. G. C. Fisher and J. S. Hibbs are two prodigals who saw the error of their ways and returned to the grand old State of Mo. A bad dollar always ‘comes home. It only took the Jay- hawkers about 7 or 8 months to clean, them up.

Young Aaron wonders if the church voters around Virginia will still keep silent or own up in public | that they too have been on the wrong ide of yrea years. Who will be the first to break the silence? It makes the Virginia people think of the years gone by to hear the sound of the blacksmith’s hammer in the city once more. And Virgil Jen- kins who hammered the red hot plow shares in by gone years again stands at the anvil ready to do your work. P. M. Famuliner, of Butler, visited his daughter, Mrs. Charley Grape and family, Thursday of last week. Mrs. J. L.

Quite a number of friends gathered at the beautiful city home of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Wirt Sunday, January 16th, 1910, it being Mr. Wirt's 80th birthday.
