People should keepa close lookout on the dogs: The mayor has ordered al} dogs killed that are not. muzzeled. Lee Helmer, of Crandell, Kansas, is here visiting his sister, Mrs. Schol- ler, and family on 9th street. From Miss Nora Potts, our central girl, we learn that they have installed their new switchboard, which arrived a few days ago and that it is giving good satisfaction. Grandma Arkett, of Rich Hill, who was spending a few days at the Humphrey home, departed Thursday for her home at that place. The little scrap which took place on our street last week between two of our best citizens ended in black Ny eyes and a nose of the ‘‘Darsh’’ vari- ety now adorns the portico on one fellow’s face. Little Mabel Bankson was painfully hurt Friday at school. She was run- ning and playing-with the other chil-|' dren and fell agalnst a seat and re- ceided a scalp wound. Dr. Mason dressed the wound which required one stitch. The little six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Woods, of east of town was operated on Thursday by Drs. Pierce of Kansas City and Rhoades of this place. We learn that the operation was successful and that the patient is getting along as well as could be expected. The doc- tor was accompanied from Kansas City by a nurse, who will take charge of the case. That Thirty-Second Wedding Anniver- sary.

Their Foster friends had planned a surprise on them Thursday evening but on account of the entertainment -at the church it. was postponed until Friday evening. About 7:30 the surprisers stormed their city home with a bountiful: sup- ply of all kinds of good things to eat, to which fifty-one guests did ample justice and all had a most enjoyable time. _.

Uncle Truman always could tell us what the weather was going to be and we expected after he moved to St. Louis he would still send us the weather forecast. ; Some new rules by board of direct- ors of the Charlotte Telephone Com- pany. First: The dues are due on the first day of January, April, July and October and it is very necessary that you see to keeping your dues paid in order that we may put the line in repair. We have purchased three hundred and fifty good hedge | poles already but they are not all set- itled for and cannot be without you pay your dues; and further, we will require the switchboard. tender to close the switchboard on any and al that are in arrears for dues for three months. Send check to Grace L. Darr, Butler, Route 5. Article 4 of the bylaws says no person shall have use of the line at any one time over five minutes and any failure to give the line to another party when re- quested to do so is subject to a fine of one dollar. Now this is the law and we ask you in all candor to observe it and if you do not and the plug is pulled on you, don’t fuss with the switchboard tender but have the law repealed if it is a bad law. L.
