Murray has two Women's clubs, and it so happened that both were holding their meetings last Friday, with a goodly crowd being present at each meeting. Excellent programs were rendered at each meeting. Mrs. John T.

Seybolt. J. W. Ilobson was hauling barrel after barrel of water and pouring it into the runways of gophers, as he said, in order to give the gophers a drink, but in reality in the hopes of drowning them. We do not know how well he succeeded. Van Allen has accepted a position as mechanic in a Chevrolet garage in Omaha. For the present he has been driving back and forth to his work each day, but expects to board in Omaha and will spend only week ends at his home here.

George Brinklow has been repaint ing and decorating the interior of the home as well as painting the porch floor, which has added to the beauty of the home and also insures it against destruction by the ele ments. A protective coat of paint is good insurance on any building. The interior of the Crosser Cafe has again been changed, the lunch counter being returned to where it was before, facing west and near the door.

Stole Fisherman's Fish ' John Stump, who fishes in the Missouri river east of Murray, had some forty pounds of carp, catfish and bull heads in his fish box, all of which disappeared from the box last Sunday night. In their stead, a bottle of beer was left. One bottle cf beer for forty pounds of fish does not look like a very even trade, but that is the way some people do. Mr. Stump hinted that he knows who the culprits are. Daily Vacation Bible School The Daily Vacation Bible school opened in Murray last Monday morn ing with some 25 students enrolled.
