From Tuesdav'9 rally.
An item of more than passing in
terest to Cass county residents is
taken from 'the New Bloomfield, Mis
souri News of June 4th, in which r.n
account is given of the ordainalion
service of Rev. E. F. McConnaha. who
was for several years a resident of the
vicinity of Murray and a youi.g man
well known to many in that locality,
who will be pleased to learn of his
success in his chosen following of the
ministry of the Baptist church:
Rev. E. F. McConnaha, son of Dr.
and Mrs. John McConnaha, of this
place, wc-.s ordained as a minister of
the Baptist church in a special service
at Hopewell, Sunday. The ceremony

tion sermon was preached nv
Rev. G.
W. Hatcher in the afternoon. A bas
ket dinner was served at noon, whirr
consisted of all the goo! tilings for
which the good housekeepers cf this
place a:e noted, and the amount of
dinner which was carried back home
was ample evidence that it was as
abundant as it was well prepared.
Rev. McConnaha is a graduate of
William Jewell college of Liberty. He
was licensed to preach about two
years a;::o and this year has a regular
charge at Grant City, Worth county.
He is one of New B!oomf:eld's splen
did young men and is ideally fitted for
the religious calling he has under
taken. The large attendance at his
ordination Sunday attested to his
popularity among his heme folks.
The Place to Buy Lumber.
There never was a season so favor
able for building and making im
provements around your farm home
as this one has been, and the activity
around the Murray lumber yard is an
evidence of this fact. More of all
grades of lumber is being sold this
spring than for many seasons. The
demand for good goods and the fact
that it can always be found at this
lumber yard at the right'prices are
the causes for the increased business
Mr. Kikendall is after the lumber
business of this locality, not only from
the fact that it is due him, but be
cause hi is ready and willing to meet
all competition on the numerous
grades of lumber.
Here's light for your home, farm buildiDgs and yard. Here's
power for your electric carpet sweeper, sewing machine, churn
and fan; heat for your eleetric iron and toaster.
PRICE IS LOW!
You'll be surprised when we tell you how low is the price of
the complete plant. If you have your own engine it is even
less.
The cost of operation is moderate. The plant is easily in
stalled. Ready for operation when taken out of the crate. The
Alamo is the ideal farm light plant simplest, safest and best
takes up but little space.
Since the perfec'ion of the tungsten lamp, which requires
only one-third the electricity to produce the samejight as the
old carbon lamp, large storage batteries are not necessary.
Thereby the cost of a light plant is so reduced that it is within
the means of the average farmer.
The ideal plant for the farm is the Alama Electric Farm
Light Plant. We were the first to introduce the small light plant
into the country homes, and our present improved product is the
result of eight years of successful manufacture. The plant is the
simplest, safest and best, and it takes up but little space. Every
farmer should have one, not only to light his building, but to
furnish power for his wife's churning, sewing, etc.
The price of the standard plant is 253.00, so you see it is an
attractive proposition for the farmer. If you do not already have
an engine of 2 II. P. or mere, we can furnish it for you for $-10.00
additional.
