STILL A STAUNCH REPUBLICAN

1 ■ In renewing his subscription to the Republican George E. McColly of Lisbon, Mo., writes: This is a cold backward, spring in Barton county, Mo., yet wheat, ' oats and grass are growing nicely. Many, of the farmers have completed planting corn. _ 1 Liberal seems to be growing as there are a number of new houses 1 going up and work is very plentiful. I am busy doing odd jobs- Wages ' are good but provisions are high. ' Common 'laborers get from fifty to sixty cents per—hour. Carpenters get seventy-five cents per hour and work eight hours per day. Sugar is twenty-five "to thirty cents per pound, yet we all live and use it. ♦ Thanking you for past favors, I 'remain a true friend to you and I your paper and I am still a true ' blue Republican-
