Atwood & My, Hickman of Weatherford, min- of Boston believes he has set a pace that will result in his establishing a | new record on his flight by aeroplane 'from St. Louis to New York and | Boston. As it is, Atwood has broken the American record for a single day’s flight. The best previous American record was made by Atwood himself when he flew 148 miles from Atlantic City to Baltimore July 10, 1911. The best internaticnal cross-coun- try record is held by Andre Beau- mont, who, in the Paris-Rome contest, | covered 401 miles in a single day, but in this instance he made three land- ings, while Atwood to-day landed | only twice. According to an announcement to- night, Atwood will resume his flight from the Grant Park aviation field at 3:30 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. travel across the lower end of Lake Elk City, Oklahoma, Aug 10, 1911, of ternoon delivered his lecture on “The | dropsy after an illness of about six Signs of the Times’ to the largest County Court.

It is very pleasing the way the teachers are taking hold of the Read- ing Circle work this year. While after this is a requirement on this for the renewal of old certificates as well as for the granting of new certificates Tam quite sure that no such motive prompts our teachers in the matter, instead. I have often said that no county in the state has a more pro- gressive body of teachers than, Bates and-I doubt if any will equal us on the number who have done work in summer schools or the regular normal course. ” During the August examination and very readily. | Our Fall Association will be held | October 26-27-28.

Harvey P. Robinson was born on a farm in Ripley county, Ind., Apr. 3, 1825, where he was reared and edu-! cated. His father wasa Tennessean | and his mother a native of Kentucky. The subject of this sketch was mar- ried three times and was a resident of three states. He first moved from Indiana in 1857, to Benton county, Mo., thence to Iowa 1861, and from there to Bates county, Mo., in 1869, where he resided until his death. Mr. Robinson was a-Republican in politics and a Universalist (we believe) in religion. He was a conservative, good man, morally, and a successful farmer and business man, leaving a large legacy acquired by toil, frugali- ty and good management to his heirs. His funeral occured Monday after- | noon at two o’clock, burial made in| ‘ladies. The groom, formerly of Al- |tona in this county, has his home in Nevada, but is traveling with the Crawford tent shows of which he is manager. W. N. Walker. W. N. Walker, formerly of the Double Branch neighborhood in this county, died Friday, August 11, 1911, in Trinidad, Colorado, as the result of a gunshot wound received in attempt- ing to make an arrest at that place. He is survived by a widow and a daughter. The remains were brought to this | city Sunday and funeral services were held at the residence of J. R. Doug- lass. Interment was made in Oak Hill cemetery.
