A Mayor-Editor's Monday
The good housewife may dread Monday with its wash day troubles. The young fellow, who has stayed up late the night before trying to convince her that she is the "only girl" may dread Monday or the fellow who has inbibed to freely of the flowing bowl over Sunday may dread Monday with its headache and he may make many trips to the town pump during - Monday. The school kids may dread Monday lessons and the business man dread Monday with its traveling salesmen with their bills "now due." But for a Mayor and Editor Monday is just Monday. Things start off with a neighbor woman calling "the Mayor" to come and help get a cat out of her rain barrel. Out comes the cat, deceased. An out raged citizen wants to know if he can shoot the dogs that have killed three of his fine Leghorns. He is told to "shoot to kill." Country gentlemen storms in to editorial sanctum wanting to know who we meant when we wrote about the fellow who was drunk. We assured him that we didn't know he had been drinking. Party calls up to know what to do with neighbors' cows that have eaten up all his laying mash. Advised him to watch the cow that she will probably lay (not eggs) soon. Good old citizen wants an alley near his place annulled. South Lineville citizen wants us to lay tile to drain water into South Lineville and the Lord knows that city is too wet now. Maybe they are short on water. Man wants mud hole by his house filled up. It is full (of mud) now. Woman calls up and asks if she can have her neighbor quarantined for measles. No chance to keep her home that way. W.C.T.U lady calls with long article on the uses (no abuses) of alcohol. We will print if Lady files complaint against boys for driving cars on her side walk. Could not give names but said they were driving Ford car. Said we ought to catch them on that description. Half drunk man calls on phone and asks if we think he is a fool. Very likely lady calls for the Mayor and Marshal to come down and take a dozen sticks of dynamite, some caps and fuse from her house which was left there by tenant. We get the explosives. It is now 4:00 p.m. and nothing to do until Tuesday.

King drug store in Corydon for over ten years and is a responsible business man and thoroughly capable of handling the business. The new firm will conduct a first class grocery with meat market in connection. Many changes will be made, new goods added and a new counter cooler and other conveniences installed in both grocery and meat departments. The new firm will sell for cash only and plan to make their prices attractive. They will pay highest possible prices for eggs and plan a series of Saturday specials. Don't fail to see their add.

Mr. Ed Varney, Editor Lineville Tribune
Dear Mr. Varney: I am writing to thank you for the comment you made sometime ago in your paper complimentary to the Missouri Wesleyan College Glee Club. We appreciate the article very much and it causes us to have a warmer spot in our hearts for the people of Lineville, (especially the Editor.) Enclosed find check for five dollars ($5.00) which I am asking you to hand to the Secretary or Treasurer of the Cemetery Association as a personal donation. With work or regard and best wishes, I remain, Very truly yours, Wesleyan Glee Club, Bazzell M. Foxworthy, Bus. Mgr. The above letter from Mr. Foxworthy will be of interest to those interested in the Lineville cemetery and the cemetery officers will indeed welcome the $5.00check as at this time of year the cemetery funds are low and the time is close when work must begin to get the cemeteries in shape for spring. The article which Mr. Foxworthy has reference to in the Tribune well deserved by the Glee Club who so pleasantly entertained the people of Lineville last winter. We are indeed glad to know that the article worked to the financial benefit of the Cemetery Fund. We are also glad to inform our readers that this famous Missouri Glee Club will again be in our city.

Mad Dog Snaps A Boy's Nose Loose
Two children were wounded and one seriously when attacked by ferocious hound dog believed to be infested with rabies, Friday evening in Trenton, says the Republican. Willard Durrant 11 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Durrant, 606 E. Twentieth Street, was set upon by the animal at 5:45 o'clock, biting the cheek, nose and head of the boy. The youth's nose was torn loose and a large piece ripped from his head by the fangs of the beast Ruby Donaldson, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Donaldson, also was attacked by the hound which inflicted a deep gash on her cheek. Physicians were called to attend young Durrant, taking stitches in his wounds. It will be necessary to graft new skin on his nose to hold it in place if possible. Should that treatment prove inadequate, an artificial nose will have to be made for him. - Princeton Post

Leghorns Pays Dividends on Hutchins Farm
One of the most successful poultry raisers in the Lineville trade territory are Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hutchins. The Hutchins' specialize in pure breed White Leghorns and have on their fine farm eight miles north of town on Federal No. 65 one of the best equipped poultry plants in the country. Large roomy, well put up buildings, well ventilated and lighted, house some of the best bred and most productive Leghorn layers in the country. Sanitation is the by-word on the Hutchins farm and very seldom do they lose a chicken. Absolute correct feeding methods and using only the best of feeds are given as the reason for their success. The Hutchins do not depend upon poultry alone, the dairy cow coming in for a share of the credit. They also own and farm several hundred acres of fine farm land.

The Seniors' Psalm of Life
Mr. Vincent is our teacher. We shall not pass. He maketh us work deep experiments. He leadeth us to expose our ignorance before the class. He maketh us work problems on the board for our grade's sake. Yea, tho' we study 'till midnight, we shall learn no Physics. The principles bother us and the laws sorely trouble us. He prepareth quizzes for us in the presence of our enemies. He giveth us low grades, our work runneth over. Surely zero's or contrition's will follow us all the days of our life and we shall dwell in the house of Physics forever.

OBITUARY
Nathaniel M. Engle was born in Columbiana County, Okla, Sept. 16, 1847; died March 1, 1927 at Lineville, Iowa, aged 79 years, 5 months, and 14 days. He served in the great Civil War enlisting May 2, 1864, in Company F. 143rd Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer infantry and was discharged Sept. 13, 1864. He came to Osceola, Iowa, in the fall of 1869 with his parents, and drove to Decatur County, Morgan Township where he settled on a farm with his parents. He returned to Ohio and was united in marriage to Miss Amanda Flickinger Dec. 29, 1871. He came with his bride to Iowa and made his home on a part of the old homestead where two children were born, Howard Stanton and Nannie May. The latter died Dec 1, 1887. In the fall of 1892 the family moved to Lineville, Iowa, where the mother passed away Nov. 20, 1905. He was again united in marriage at Corydon, Iowa, Dec 10, 1908 to Mrs. Edith Deitrick of Shawnee, Okla. He leaves this wife and son, Howard and one sister, Mrs. Frank Hawkins of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his death. He was raised by Quaker parents. January 1910 he united with the Presbyterian church at Lineville of which he was a member when he died. About two weeks before his death he called the family to his bedside and told them that he thought he probably would not live much longer, and while he would like to live, he was not afraid to die, and had no fear of the future. By the deceased request, two songs "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder" and "I Walk With the King" were played on the Edison. Other music was furnished by the quartette composed of Mrs. Molleston, piano, and Messrs. Logan, Rookey, Evans and Davis. The pall bearers were some of the older business men of the town, all old friends of Mr. Engle.

Back From the Sunny South
Glen "Happy Hawkins and Scott Varney and families who have spent the past winter months on both the Texas and Mexican side of the Rio Grand returned home the last of the week. These envoys from Iowa to Mexico traveled in their own special coaches, namely houses on wheels. Elaborately built homes were carried on their truck chasis. Upper and lower births for sleeping, running water, electric lights, oil heaters and cook stoves built in tables and clothes cabinets were a few of the conveniences the rolling homes carried. Not to mention a folding bridge table and radio for entertainment. The big busses were named Leaning Lena and Big Bertha and carried license plates from Allen to Coah, Mexico in which part of Mexico the boys spent some time. The busses were well decorated deer antlers skins and fur trophies of a big game hunt which the boys took part in during their stay in the land of Revolutions, Tortillas and Tamales. The occupants of both cars were in the best of health and report a wonderful time.

First National Closes Door
Following a slow run extending over several weeks and taking over $125,000.00 out, the First National Bank of this city, closed its doors last Thursday. For the time at least this leaves Lineville without a banking house. The First National has always ranked with the strongest little bank in the country, but a run if carried far enough, will break any bank, however strong it may be. Conditions in general and the failure of other banks contributed to the run that closed this bank. We are reliably informed that the condition of the bank in general did not merit this run and it is believed that ways and means will be brought about to reorganize and reopen the bank. In no way or is any one blaming officials of the bank, but rather are the public and those most interested ready and willing to assist in reorganization that we may not be without a banking house. Lineville and vicinity is made up of typical Americans who in past emergencies such as disastrous fires, failures, etc. have never been found wanting but stick out their jaw and fight for the general good of the community. For the time being at least, local business houses have placed their business on practically a cash basis and ask their patrons to pay cash on account or for goods wherever possible. The buying public are responding in a manner that is most encouraging. H. A. Laird, National Bank examiner will be in charge til further arrangements are made and at this time no definite statement can be given out.

Pioneer Woman Passes Away
Lineville and vicinity lost another pioneer Monday evening when Mary Jane Madden, aged 81 years, passed away following an attack of pneumonia and complications. Mrs. Madden was one of the pioneers who came here in an early day and helped to hew a home out of the wilderness of unsettled country. Few of the good people are left. Her death occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Helen Robinson, on West Third street about 9 o'clock Monday evening. The funeral was held on Wednesday from the M. E. South Church with Rev. Tallent officiating to a church filled with close friends and relatives. Internment was in Evergreen cemetery.

Death-Taken from Quincy, Il. Paper:

Surviving are his widow, his aged father, Henry P. Morris of Lineville, Ia; one sister, Mrs. Amanda Close of Lineville; one brother, Odie I. (L?). Morris of Kankakee, and several nieces and nephews."

Crawford Bros. Closing Out
A big closing out sale of the entire stock of Crawford Brother's store here starts tomorrow. $20,000 worth of dry goods, shoes and general merchandise will be sold out to the last item. Crawford Brothers are quitting business and goods are being priced at in many cases, only a fraction of cost price. Mr. J. F. Boden has been appointed trustee by the Crawford Brothers and has instructions to sell everything regardless of price. The Crawford Brothers store, formerly owned by Mr. J. E. Rockey, is one of Southern Iowa's largest and best stores and goods in this store are not old and out of date but from the best lines of merchandise such as Curlee clothes, Rollins hosiery and Brown shoes are only a few of the well known and established lines of goods with which this big store is stocked. Extra clerks have been employed during the big sale as a busy time is expected by Mr. Boden.

Creamery Under New Management
Mr. Bengt Nelson of Swea City, Iowa, came last week and took charge of the local Creamery. Mr. Nelson, an experienced butter maker, has leased the Creamery for one year from Mr. Brorby. Guy Painter and wife who have had charge of the Creamery since Mr. Brorby moved to Centerville last fall, will continue to assist Mr. Nelson, while Mr. Boyer, a butter maker, left for Centerville where he has a position with Hutchinson Ice Cream Company. The Creamery is enjoying the largest volume of business in its history. We predict that the Creamery with Mr. Nelson's many years of experience as a butter maker assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Painter, who have been with the Creamery since its establishment, will continue to grow and expand. Mr. Painter was born here and has spent a greater part of his time in business and is acquainted with every dairyman for miles around and has their confidence. We predict a bright future for the Lineville Creamery.

Fire Destroys Fine Barn - Fire of unknown origin, broke out Tuesday night at midnight and destroyed the big barn, together with all the contents on the Harl Rockhold farm east of town. Mr. Rockhold was badly burned while trying to save some horses and was brought here for medical treatment. He was treated by Dr. I. M. Lovett for severe burns about face, neck, hands and arms. The barn, which was one of the largest and best in the country, being 50 X 50 feet, was full of hay, grain, harness and live stock. Two head of fine horses were burned with the barn. A Buick automobile was also burned, the property of Mr. Rockhold's brother, Homer. Mr. Rockhold's loss will be very heavy as only $1000.00 insurance was carried on building and none on the tack, grain, etc. We are very sorry to write of Mr. Rockhold's loss.

In the case of Albert Horseradish tired last Wed. evening in the high school auditorium for the crime of wife beating, the defendant was convicted and sentenced to five years of household work. The state was represented by P. C. Perkins and E. C. Varney, local attorneys while the defense used James Davis, Lineville's Clarence A. Darrow and V. K. Lovett, Democratic politician and a close friend of Jim Reed of Missouri. In spite of the fact that defense attorneys used all the skill and law of Darrow and Reed, the state's attorneys as above mentioned. Perkins and Varney, after one of the greatest displays of law and laws, won for the state. Attorneys for both sides had carefully built their case. Virgil M. Beale, well known jurist, was on the bench and ruled with an iron hand and rubber mallet. Mr. Horseradish, known in private life as Tate May, went on the stand as a defense witness. His wife, Carl Molleston tore down every defense with the woman's excuses of because. M. C. Lane and Happy Hawkins were witnesses for the state and L. M. Belvel was divided about evenly between state and defense, crossing up the defense attorneys in a manner that caused Jim Reed to almost go wild. G. L. Murphy, H. L. Harris, Jess Wilson, Kenneth Harris, Ross Cramlett and E. E. Calbreath were the members of the jury. M. A. Belvel was the court clerk and carried the trial through with all the dignity of a Supreme Court case. A large crowd packed the big auditorium to standing room and greatly enjoyed the evening. Mr. Vincent's high school orchestra furnished some fine music and Carl "Skeet" Molleston put on a little vaudeville skit that drew much applause.

Various excuses were made for the scores. Duncan said he could have broke more. Austin and Wheeler claimed they had recently won prizes. Girdner said he could have shot better in Missouri. Lambertson said if they had been in Minnesota he would have led the bunch and Luce claimed he was not used to his new gun. At that it was a very unusual score.
