·          The grippe has made its appearance in our community and quite a number have been attacked.

·         Mr. Miriam Roberts residing six miles southwest of here, was bitten by a mad dog last Monday. He at once started for Geuda Springs where a mad stone was applied and it adhered seven hours to the wound.  It was a very sad affair, Mr. Roberts is one of Sumner County’s best citizens.  He is getting along very well at this writing and we wish to say to the People’s Party elect a man at the next election to the legislature who will pledge himself to help make a law to tax a man twenty dollars for every dog above one.  They are getting so well trained that they will chase a passerby for a half mile and by that time there will be another team passing, and they will hurry back to meet it.

·         The young folks of our vicinity will have to go to Milan for their Christmas tree as our burg will be about dead.

·         T. S. Creekmore of William Jewell College, was one of the four debate contestants for a $15 gold medal last Friday night.  The contest was held at Liberty, Missouri. The judges declared T. S. Creekmore the winning man.  The medal was presented by the ladies of the female college.

·         R. F. Ingram has pulled in his thresher for a while.  He has threshed 90,000 bushels of grain this year and has about 10,000 bushels more to thresh between now and spring.

·         Will Armstrong , who has been visiting in Missouri the past two weeks, returned Saturday.

·         The Mayfield School will have a vacation of nearly two weeks.

·         Hart and Jarvis are doing a good business with their mill. They keep constantly on hand a good supply of crushed corn, ground feed, and first-class meal.  They are straight, reliable gentlemen and the farmers would do well to patronize them in getting feed prepared for their stock.
