WHEREAS, Dr. G. A. AUERSWALD, the representative from Jefferson county has
introduced a bill in the legislature at Jefferson City, known as House Bill No.
582 and Senate Bill No. 430, providing for the removal of the January Term of
the Circuit Court of Jefferson County from
Hillsboro to De Soto; and
WHEREAS, this bill, should it become a law, will in truth and in fact establish
two separate and distinct Circuit Courts in Jefferson county, which will cause
delay in securing Justice, increase the cost of litigation and materially
reduce the usefulness of the Circuit Court of Jefferson county; and
WHEREAS, said bill provides that the County pay for the renting, furnishing and
keeping of a court room, a Circuit Clerk’s office, a Sheriff’s office, a
library and jury room; that the Circuit Clerk appoint a deputy who shall be
required to keep his office in De Soto and who would be paid by the County; and
WHEREAS, the furnishing of said pence of five or six thousand dollars the first
year and from Two to Three Thousand Dollars per year afterward, in addition to
the regular expense of the county, no required, and
WHEREAS, The County revenue of the County is now overdrawn to the amount of Ten
Thousand Dollars and the burden of taxes is already very heavy upon the tax
payers and we fail to see how the citizens of the county can possibly receive
any benefits out of the passage of this bill except a few favored sons, and
WHEREAS, Hillsboro, the County Seat, is centrally located, is very accessible
and has a Court Room sufficient for present requirements;
THEREFORE be it resolved that the Farmers of Jefferson County in mass meeting
assembled, that it is the sense of this meeting that this bill is against the
interests of the tax payers of Jefferson County, as a whole; that a very large
majority of the tax payers are opposed to the passage of this bill and that we
respectfully ask the members of the House of Representatives and of the Senate
to use their best endeavors in the defeat of this bill.

~ The Real
Facts In The Case ~
Dr. J. H. PARKER Makes the Following Statement to the Public Concerning The
Death of Mike CLOVER.
So much has been said and thought that is untrue, concerning the demise of the
late Michael CLOVER, I have concluded that it is no more than r??? to the family, to Mr. HEIDBRINK and myself that a statement
of the actual facts in the case he presented to the public. I am conversant
with the family possibly more so than any other, I have no earthly reason to
tell as the truth about this case. If you have heard or thought other than is
related below, and if you love the truth, prepare to disgorge yourself of your
obvious opinion, for this is the truth.
Mike CLOVER told Fred HEIDBRINK and myself, on Friday
before he died on Saturday, that he had been poisoned. Told us that someone, he
accused no one in particular, had put lye in a glass containing whiskey that he
had been drinking from. He said he was going to die and asked that after his
death that I perform an autopsy on his body and ascertain whether or not he was
speaking the truth.
He was seemingly at the time as sane as he ever was in his life. I was with him
an hour and neither heard him utter a delirious remark or saw him act in any
manner other than a man well set who had absolute control of his mind. Fred
HEIDBRINK who probably knew him better than any man on Belows
Creek had been with him for five hours and Fred said he was at himself.
His temperature was not high and he was not under the influence of any drug at
the time that would affect his mind. Prior to that time I had not the slightest
suspicion of anything of the sort. Some one has said that I had said that I
suspected poisoning from the beginning. I never said it.
He died, as he had predicted. What were we to do? It was a grave and serious
thing to tell what we had been told and a dangerous thing to conceal it.
Other than his dying word there was nothing to cause us to believe he had been
poisoned. Symptoms had developed that we knew were pneumonic in character. Nothing else. I could sign a death certificate with
pneumonia as the cause of death with a clear conscience, knowing he had pneumonia.
We delayed making a decision as to what we would do and herein we are to blame.
We admit it. But put yourself in our place for one moment and then tell me
would you decide in an hour whether you would arouse the entire country and
practically accuse one of the finest families in the county, of murder, or
would you allow the burial to proceed unmolested and possibly conceal a
terrible crime?
At the eleventh hour we decided to do an autopsy, hoping that it would prove
that his death was caused by pneumonia alone and thus save the family of this
awful stigma and also save Mr. HEIDBRINK and myself from carrying through life
the thought that possibly we had concealed a crime.
There was the happy termination. A complete autopsy preformed by Coroner
FALLET, Dr. LUCKEY and myself, together with a chemical analysis of the
stomach, showed Mr. CLOVER’s suspicion to be unfounded.
And so ends the case. Mrs. CLOVER remains the same estimable lady, above
reproach that she has always been in the minds of all right thinking people. We
feel sorry for the family that this trouble came up affording such scandal
mongers and tattlers a chance to get in their deadly work.
I will close by dedicating to this class of people the following verse:
The devil will take the slanderer’s tongue.
He’ll extract the venom from it;
Then he’ll mix it with hell-eat soup,
And feed the tattlers on it.
Very respectfully,
Dr. J. H. PARKER

~ More About The Farm Agent ~
In my article in last week’s paper I described in a short way what we would
have to do to obtain a Farm Agent. I will now add to this, that we can obtain a
Farm Agent only if the farmers call for his services.
An organization must be formed by the farmers called the Farm Bureau, and this
Farm Bureau will control the work of the Farm Agent. If the farmers do not
control and operate this Bureau it will be a failure. The whole intent of the
legislation appropriating this money for this work was,
that it should be organized and controlled by the farmers. I mention this so we
all understand that we farmers must do our share to make the work of the farm
agent the most effective.
Now a few words about the Farm Agent. The Farm Agent
is a practical farmer, who has as far as I understand agent from four to six
years at our agricultural College, studying farm problems. He is a man of wide experience.
He will have a Ford automobile so he can get around and meet the farmers of all
parts of the county when called. He will have an office and stenographer, so he
can answer any inquiries form farmers without delay. He will have the free use
of the mails for his official correspondence. Meetings of farmers may be had in
the community and the agent will meet the farmers there and give such
information as is desired. In other words, part of the work and knowledge of
the Agricultural college is carried right to us by the
Farm Agent.
Not only this; there is at
The Farm Agent will know what kind of stone is needed and running with his
machine all over our county, he will find the places where we can obtain the
needed material and grind it in the most economical way. Our land may need
other fertilizers. The Farm Agent will know which is the most economical
fertilizer to buy, he will know where to by it. If we have our farm bureau we
farmers will become better acquainted with each other we will be able to buy
our fertilizers in car load lots
and divide it among ourselves.
Now something of my own experience, Last fall a year ago, I had a crop of wheat
of over 200 bushels. I sent a load of this wheat to the mill and the mill would
not buy it, it was smutty. You all know wheat was bringing a good price. I sold
part of my wheat at $1.00 a bushel at the feed store for chicken feed, the
balance I fed myself. Could I have sold my wheat at the regular price I could
have taken the money and bough corn for it at quite a saving. Why did I not
sell my wheat at the mill? Because my seed was not treated
with bluestone formaldehyde, as it should have been done. Did I not know
that the wheat ought to have been treated? Yes, I did know. I was raised in the
country and my father would never have thought of sowing wheat before it was treated
with a solution of bluestone. Then why did I not treat my wheat? Because my
neighbors did not treat their wheat and it was not the custom around here to
treat wheat before sowing. When we have a farm agent he will travel over this
county and he will show the people how to treat wheat to prevent smut and it
will be done.
Here is something else which may interest the farmer who raises chickens.
Chickens bring a good price now and farmers are well pleased with the prices
they are getting, but this is no reason that they should not wish to obtain
more. Hundreds of coops are shipped from this county containing young roosters;
they bring a good price, but they would probably bring double the price if they
were caponized. The farm agent cannot only show you how to do this work, he
will also insist upon this being done. There are lots of things which we know
how to do, but which we do not do, because there is
nobody to stir us up to do it, just as I showed you with the smutty wheat.
I will have to close for this time. I will show you in another letter other
things the farm agent will do for us. Robert

Gar gigging was all the rage these cold blustering days among Lone Dellers and many good catches was made. It is said that Mr.
