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.
"Jobbins is so IVolish over that pet
dog of his. He I".J me he was going

CHANGE THE VIBRATION
It Makes for Health.
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

WANTED TO BE ON SAFE SIDE
Woman, Twice Deserted, Didn't Mean
to Take Any Chances on Her
Third Hubby.
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. D. 3, Hamilton, Ga., Jan. 7,1909."
Kept with Barnum's Circus
P. T. Barnum, the famous circus
man, once wrote: "I have had the
Cuticura Remedies among the con
tents of my medicine chest with my
shows for the last three seasons, and 1
can cheerfully certify that they were
very effective in every case which
called for their use."
DESERT MELODY.
"I can sins," said one Toucan, "you bat,"
"I. too, can," said one that he met.
"So If I can, and you can,
We two can, we Toucans."
So tlie two Toucans sang a duet.

Do farmers eat the proper sort of food?
The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is so because
he has a great variety to select from.
lie should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
I eaten is due very largely to the recent

i greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
! careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
I themselves, their children and thlß
