ENDS All OLD TOWN 1 "Athens of Missouri" Disincor porated by Court Order. Edinburg Dies a Natural Death When Railroads Pass It By—Noted for Beauty and an Excel lent College. Trenton, Mo. Edinburg, known over the state before the war as the "Athens of Missouri," and for many years the rival of Trenton as a tra ding point and political center, where many men, afterward prominent rn state affairs received their first col legiate training, was disincorporated recently by an order of the county court. The order marks the last step in the little town's retrogression since the Chicago, Rock Island & Quincy and Omaha & Kansas City railways passed the village by. The story of the settlement, growth and decline of the village of Kdinburg is full of interest. The town came into existence in 1838 when Isaac J. Harvey built a store there. Not so favorably situated as Trenton, the growth of the town did not compare with that ol' the county seat until after ISSO. At the half-way mark of the century Grand River college was established in Kdin burg. Then cinie an era of prosperity. The fame of the school grew, and in structors of the best were numbered in the faculty. The pretty little town was in itself an attraction to students, and the name of Edinburg became widely known Business boomed, the town toois on a thriving air and the county seat feared for its own growth. Then came the war and progress stopped. The luster of the classic school became dim. After the war there was a revival of learning in Kdinburg, and the prospect was fair again, until the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific railroad came through in 1871 and marked Trenton as the fu ture city of the section. Business projects were killed in Kd inburg, and the village lost ground, but tiie" fame of the school still lived. FT tl Grand River College. Another railroad came through from Quincy and Edinburg's hopes quicken ed that it would reach that place. When this failed, however, the doom of the village was sealed. Steadily since then the town lias lost in population and business. A few years ago the college itself was re moved to Gallatin in order to secure railroad advantages. In December, 1909, the petition for disincorporation was presented to the court..l. G. Me waid was appointed trustee for the incorporation, to settle up its affairs, and classic Kdinburg is no more. Quick Lunch In England. The quick lunch has been tried in London, and has failed as an adver tisement. But many of us lunch quick v, and this writer went into the oy ter shop for his half dozen, and felt his elbow pinched. He turned and saw a triend who knew. "Three na tives," he said, "and a glass of chablls." "Is that all you have for lunch?" was the immediate question. "That's only the beginning," he ex plained. and as we stood elbow to el bow at the oyster bar he expounded lo me his method of the itinerary lunch. It takes nim two hours at midday. He begins with three oysters at the bar. Then he walks for half an hour with an objective of the place where kidneys on toast are at their best. Having disposed of these, he walks for another half an hour, and finds the place where stewed cheese can be relied on. By that time it is three o'clock and he waiks home and be gins work again, having had his exer cise and his lunch and his digestive interval. Also he has seen a bit of London, which is useful to a delineator of life The Itinerary lunch may be recommended to a man of inquiring mind and sedentary habit. —London Chronicle. A Peculiar Accident. A curious and serious accident oc curred at Liverpool, England, in con nection with work in the graving dock on the Cunard liner Mauretania. A gang of men were engaged in bringing to the quay-side a sieel plate of the vessel's hull. Just as the operation was in progress the tidal chain snapped. This set all the ropes at*, taching the ships to the quay in a stare ot dangerous commotion. Five of the laborers on the quay wei»e knocked down. One, namtl Wilson, was struck by a rope with such force that he turned a somersault, and, fall ing on his head, was picked up dead. The otner tour men were removed to a hospital. Appropriate.

George Washington Henry Clay Lin coln Carter, one of Georgia's younger darkey citizens, was suddenly called upon not long ago to explain his pres ence at 1 a. m.in the henhouse of a white neighbor.

A man tried leaving off meat, pota toes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with cream, some crisp toast and a cup of Postum. His health began to improve at once for the reason that a meat eater will reach a place once in a while where his system seems to become clogged and the machinery doesn't work smoothly. A change of this kind puts aside food of low nutritive value and takes up food and drink of the highest value, already partly digested and capable of being quickly changed into good, \ich blood and strong tissue. most valuable feature of Grape* Nuti? is the natural phosphate of pot ash grpwn in the grains from which it is made". This is the element which transforms albumen in the body into the soft gray substance which fills brain and nei*ve centers. A few days' use ot Grape-Nuts will give one a degree of nervous strength well worth the trbtf. Look in pkgs for the Mttle book, "The Road to Wellville." "Three's a Reason."

The officers of the thumb print bu reau were just wishing for something interesting to turn up when a tele phone message offered timely diver sion. A woman was speaking. "Do you make prints of anybody's thumbs except criminals?" she asked. The bureau did. "Well," said the woman, "if I will come down there right away with a man will you make a print of his thumbs?" The bureau would. The man and the woman came. "We want his thumb prints for identification," said the woman. "We are going to be married to-morrow. He is my third husband. The other two ran away and I had the hardest kind of a .time to find them because there was no sure way of identifying them. They say thumb prints can never change and that a man can be tracked by them to the ends of the earth. I hope I shall never have to use them, but it. is just as well to be on the safe side. Will you make them?" The bureau did. HOW A DOCTOR CURED SCALP DISEASE "When I was ten or twelve years old I had a scalp disease, something like scald head, though it wasn't that. I suffered for several months, and most of my hair came out. Finally they had a doctor to see me and he recommended the Cuticura Remedies. They cured me in a few weeks. I have used the Cuticura remedies, also, for a b out on my hands and was benefited a great deal. I haven't had any more trouble with the scalp disease. Miss Jessie F. Buchanan, R. F.
