Scarcely a day passes that you can
not hear stories of some shrewd farm
er who was holding his corn for 60c
a bushel and now is only offered about
40c, or if the man who was looking for
7c a pound for his hogs and is now
offered less than four. The farmer,
like the Wall street broker, was
speculating, and lost. He had the corn,
the wheat, or hogs ready for sale, but
was going to get the top price and
missed it. His judgment was at fault.
A money stringency always affects the
markets and the volume of labor.
When to Go Home.
From the Bluffton, Ind,, Banner: i
When tired out go home. When you j
want consolation, go home. When you J
want fun, go home. When you want j
to show others that you have reformed j
go home and let your family get ac- j
ouainted with the fact. When sou want I
ta show youjself at your best go home j
and do the act there. When you feel
like being extra liberal go home and 1
practice on your wife and children first, j
When you want to shine with extra j
brilliancy go home and light up the j
whole household." To which would j
add when you have a bad cold go home
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and a quick cure is certain.

ONE OF PLATTS-
nouTirs FAVORITES
Miss Ethel Dovey, of the "District:
Leader" Warmly Received j
at Columbia, Mo. j
It seems that Miss Ethel Dovey, now j
of the "District Leader" company, in I
which she takes the leading part, is
i winning golden opinions wherever she i
goes. She is not only popular at home, j
but in all the towns and cities where
she has appeared.--. The following is an
excerpt from Miss Ethel's letter to her j
parents, and is only one instance as to
the manner in which she is received
everywhere. Her letter refers to her
visit to Columbia, the University town
of Missouri:
"When we played Columbia, Mo.,
Saturday, Nov. 23, we had a matinee, j
Mr. Garth, manager of the theatre, I
came to me with a request from "The j
Tigers," the Columbia foot-ball team,
to make a speech to them that night,
as they would occupy the three lower
left hand boxes. I said I would, so I j
thought it all out when I was having
my supper; said the speech over to Mr. j
Truesdell, so I would have it down i
"pat." After my "Jersey" number i
they handed to me a great bunch of )
! yellow chrysanthemums, tied with their J
! colors black and gold, over the foot
lights. They were very enthusiastic
about me, and in the second act, when
I ran on in my Buster Brown suit,
wearing one of the big flowers and their ;
colors, they gave me a yell, "Flossie,
Flossie, Rah! Rah! ! Rah!!!" Then the
whole house gavethe same yell and it
was fully two minutes before I could
sing my song.
"When the curtain went down on the
second act, they called me and the cur
tain was rung up and I stepped out and
made a speech to them, after which
they cheered me again and again. It
was certainly blood-tingling, but I en
joyed it, even though I was a bit ner
vous when I first stepped out to speak
to them. I received a letter from the
manager of atheletics of Columbia which
I enclose."
Columbia, Mo., Nov. 25, '07.
Miss Ethel Dovey,
"District Leader."
Dear Miss Dovey: Please find en
closed card, upon which are the names
of the foot-ball men that were in at
tendance at your performance. I was
unable to secure it in time to put it on
the flowers and all requested me to send
it to you. On behalf of the boys as
"members" of the "University of Mis
souri," I wish to thank you for the
cheering remarks given. I assure all
were more than pleased with the pro
duction last evening and would listen to
it again tonight if they had the chance.
Success to you and the company. I am,
Friendly Yours,

A Fine New Farm Residence.
John Kinser returned from Union
last evening where he had jnst finished
plastering the fine new farm residence
of our old friend, D. W. Foster, situated
near that place. It will be remembered
that Mr. Foster's residence was burned
several months since, and he immedi
ately contracted with the well known
contractor of this city, L. G. Larson,
for the construction of a more com
modious home. The new structure, in
many respects is very modern, and fin
ished with that neatness of which few
farm residences can boast in this age.
While Mr. Larson superintended the
wood work, he certainly was very fortu
nately in securing John Kinser, of this
city to do the plastering, which every
one who has saw the new domicile of
our old friend, says is done in a most
artistic manner, and among the finest
jobs of work in this line they have ever
had the pleasure of seeing, and Mr.
Foster is highly gratified with the man
ner in which Mr. Kinser acquitted him
self. Embarks in Grocery Business.
Henry E. Weidman, who for some
time has conducted the stationery store
in the Coates Block, Monday purchased
a grocery store in Havelock and will go
there soon to take charge of it. Henry
has made a success of business in this
place, and we predict for him a good
business in his new venture, and if
there is anything in hustling and care
ful, conservative bnsiness methods, he
surely will win. It is understood that
George Weidman will look after the
business here.
