Ellsberry a town in Lincol county, has been trying a new ex periment by oiling the streets in stead of sprinkling them and the plan proving successful plans are now being maae Dy property owners to have other streets oiled next spring. The town now has five blocks of Main street oiled and ten blooks in the residence district The cost of the fifteen blocks was only $185. The oil used is crude. with a mixture of asphaltum. The street was graded, then the oil ap plied with a sprinkler.

The result is a surface hard, yet springy, dust-less and is inpervious to water and resists the wear and tear of traffic; neither hoofs nor wagon wheels make an impression upon It.

St.

Louis Globe-Democrat. Referring to the foregoing Pres ident Trauernicht of the Business Men's League has received a letter from three automobilists from St. Louis stating that they will be here Thursday evening to confer with our people relative to the proposed road. From Saturday's Olobe-Democrat: 'Four of seven joy-riders were in jured early yesterday morning at Sarah street and Washington Avenue, when the east-bound automobile in which they were riding was struck by a south-bound United Railways work car. The owner, Jidward V.

JBenson, 4921 Delmar boulevard, escaped iniury, as did a woman who sat with him on the front seat and a man who ran away before the police could learn his name. One woman in the party was hurled 80 feet and a man ou feet. Benson admitted he was going twenty miles an hour. The machine was damaged $1000, he says. Benson is under bond to answer a charge of exceeding the speed limit.

He said the machine was engaged at seventh and Locust streets and that he took a party out to Peter's Grove, on the Olive Street road, in St. Louis county, where others joined them. tie said four women and two men occupied the machine when he started out." The following is from Sunday's Republic: "Thomas L. Cannon sued the Big Muddy Coal and Iron Company and Nellie SEstes, administratrix of the estate of Francis M. Estes, in the Circuit Court yesterday, for $13,000 claimed to be due as commssion forthesaleof the land.

Cannon states that in 1908 the Big Muddy Company entered an agreement With F. M. Estes, Henry S. Whiten- er and iidward V. P.

Ritter for them to sell 26,000 acres of land near Ironton and Pilot Knob, the agents to receive all over $2 an acre that the land would bring. They sold the land for $2 50 an acre, but the surplus was not paid to7 them, it is stated. The claims of Whitener and Ritter were assigned to Cannon, it is stated. Estes died June 19, 1909, but his administratrix refused to join Cannon, in the suit and was a defendant, it is stated. Estes was an attorney and an uncle of former Governor tolls.

He died from illness contracted in teaching his son to swim." I don't often complain through the paper of personal grievance. have their disagreements and assumed causes of offense, and it is both natural and proper that each shall maintain his own side of the question at is sue; but all do not own news papers through which to vindicate themselves or bring to shame their enemies. Therefore, a sense of common justice must deter tne right-thinking editor from em ploying his paper in a quarrel or dispute, not of a publio nature, to which he is a party. This is tne rule: but, like all rules, it has its It is an exception that induces this article, and the gross deception practiced upon the writer but you shall hear. Last Sunday at the hour of my after noon nap siesta, is a good word, perhaps, but nap is A shorter word and good English, besides I was rudely summoned to the phone The "Hello!" was from one in whom I reposed the utmost confi donee; and when he informed me that a meeting Set for the evening at his domicile must be called on because of a sudden call for him to go to the city that afternoon, did not think of questioning the straightness ol his averment, told him I was sorry and 1 was wished him good said "goodbye" in a double sense, and hung up the receiver.

No more nap, for thought did murder sleep. Our twice-a-week orchestra meetings are, to me, at least, the rifts in the dull cloud of monotonous exist ence, and the excision of one of them makes the everyday routine of exhaustion and restoration the more platitudinous. Therefore, mourned, would not be comforted, and sought oblivion in the Sunday supplements. After supper we call it "supper" here in the country; or, still less en regie, lunch, when the evening meal is made up of the fragments of the mid-day feast after supper, when good digestion and an approved cigar were clearing away the gloom of disappointment, there came a rap at the front door-screen. Of oourse I answered it, and bless you I there on the porch stood the whole shooting-match orchestra, I mean, armed with their various implements for extracting sweet sounds from the sensuons vibrat- ii'S atmosphere! Through the open portal they filed Into the hall and thence to the parlor.

Then I began to see a light! The orchestra had resolved itself into a' "surprise party," the senior member the victim, for no other fault than that he had on that day added another year tp his closely approaching three-score and ten. A duly appreciated present was tendered him with wards, I fear, more kindly than deserved, to which earnest response was made. Then we settled down to business, and a time we had! A little' collation was served through the deft exertions of the boss (or bossess?) of the household, about the hour of 10, supplemented by a whiff or so of the weed the W. C. T.

After light refreshment and another ci gar, we had more music and social converse until the hand on the dial suggested adjournment.

With mu tual good wishes we separated, and I retired to sleep with grateful thought toward all the world the members of the orchestra in espe cial. For Sale House and lot, Main street.

All the teachers in the county are invited to attend and those that live in the western section are expected to be present and perform the duties assigned tnem- As this is a large district and most of the teachers have to come so far it is almost impossible for them to get to the meeting early enough for us to finish our pro gramme oy noon. 1 am asking all the teachers and patrons to bring their dinner so that we may have an afternoon session. Last year one of the best meet ings held in the county was at Uood water. The teachers and patrons who came from a distance were met with the glad hand of welcome. It was a great day and I am sure that everyone, who came iouna pienty to eat lor tne peopi of Goodwater are the kind whose latch string always hangs on the outside of the door.

But we want to make this a social gathering, we want the patrons and pupils to know that education moans more than a few hours of study each day over the school books. i fcThe child spends the most of his life in the school room or he spends that part of his life which moulds his character, and it Is seldom, if ever, that he sees his parents at the Behoof. We send our children to school but never investigate the life of tne person who is teaching them. It is our duty to know who is teaching our children and what they are teaching them; therefore, these meetings are being conduct ed for the benefit of the teaoher, patrons and pupils. We extend cordial invitation to all to attend.

If you have a teacher who is using her best endeavors to make your school a success she la anxious for you to be present. If you have a careless, indmerent teacher this is the best place you can go to nnd it out. We are anxious to have a large attendance of patrons from all the different schools of this section. Your presence encourages your teacher to do better work, so let's make this one of the best gatherings ever held at Goodwater. The teacher and pupils of the Goodwater school have been invited to prepare a programme of exercises to be rendered at the teachers' meeting.

Dear teacher, remember that you are the leader of the educa tional affairs In your district and that the pupils under your care are entitled to the best instruction that can be obtained. And that you derive benefit from a meeting in proportion to the amount of en ergy you put forth to make it a success. If you sit back and say I cannot do, you will receive very little benefit and the pupils under your care will be benefited very little, but if you try you can do, and get a great deal of good from these meetings. I want us to all work together for the betterment of our schools. The meeting will begin at 10:30 A.

M. Be on time and come pre pared to stay for the afternoon session. I am, Yours, respectfully, B. P. BURNHAM, F.
