The El Dorado Springs Sun ealls at- tention to its little city, which claims to be about three times as large as Adrian and has no col- ored inhabitants. Jack Reavely, jr., aged 10, who has been spending the last few weeks visiting at the homes of E. R. Hall and E. E. Eckles in Pleas- ant Gap township, returned to his home in Kansas City Monday. The young man has enjoyed his vacation hugely and- says that he will sure be a farmer when he grows up. A house on Vine street owned by J. D. Stewart and occupied by} Raymond Ramsey was entirely destroyed by fire about 1:30 o'clock Trursday morning. The house was too far out to be reached by the fire hose. It is not known how the house caught | fire as the family was away from | home at the time, } R. D, Radford, of Spruce one , Hon, Jas. N. Sharp, Democratic nominee tor Representative in the Legislature was in Wednesday morning and favored us with a most pleasant call. Col, Sharp, who attended the Democratic State Convention at Jefferson City last week expressed himself as greatly encouraged with the __ outlook for Democratie success in every section of the state.

Cole returned Monday from-a several days visit to his old home in the northeast part of the county. The Judge was elected probate judge of Bates county in 1890 and moved to Butler and liked the town so I WANT TO BUY A FARM SPECIFICATIONS:— Buildings must be in good repair. If there is a rotten board it must be taken off and replaced with a new one. If there is a defective flue that is liable to cause a fire that will destroy the house, I want it repaired before cold weather and time to put up the stove. _ i ; If the foundation is open or cracked, letting in cold wind under the floors, compelling me to buy more coal and be uncomfortable it should be repaired with cement blocks, or sand cement and gravel, If the plaster is cracked, or if there is a room without any plaster or lath it should be plastered. It only costs 13c per square yard for material to lath and plaster so why should I be cold and uncomfortable when you.can make the house so much warmer, with so little money. mence- If the roof is in bad condition and leaky it should be repaired before the fall rains com- 14h leaks it-will ruin-tt Beecher A re , , it will spoil the carpets and furniture, and the house will be damp and unhealthy. And if you wish to sell me your farm the buildings must be painted with Sewall’s Pure Liquid Paint. On the last farm I bought and sold all the buildings had two good coats of ’ Sewall’s Liquid Paint on that only cost me $15:00, which increased the price I sold the land for $5.00 per acre, and it will do the same for you. And besides, the fall of the year is the most desirable time to paint, the wood is dry, and will absorb the paint and will retain it, making it more resistable to the wear and tear of the winter storms. If you will follow the above specifications, you will find it is no trouble to sell your farm, and realize more per acre than if the buildings were in need of repair and paint.
