WILL MEET MAY 21
Take Place of Old Missouri Har
mony Singers at Morristown
—Is Enjoyable Day.
GREENFIELD PEOPLE ATTEND
To Hear the Old Songs and Make
Occasion an Annual Outing—Are
Rehearsing Program.
The fourth annual gala day of the Diapason Singers of Morristown will be held at the Methodist church in that place on Sunday, May 21. An excellent program is being prepared by the members of the society and will be rendered at this time and the meeting this year promises to attract hundreds of people from distant cities.
The Missouri Harmony Singers, who for the past thirty years have been giving annual concerts in Morristown, was organized under the direction of Dr. David McGaughey and the work of selecting programs and music for them was entirely upon his shoulders until a late date when the responsibility was taken by W. W. Woody ard, who held the leadership until his death. The last concert given by the old organisation was a result of his work and the fac that the organization continued to give concerts until only three of the charter members surviyed is due to his untiring efforts to uphold the spirit of the society and to keep alive the organization for which the little city of Morristown is far famed.
The present society of Diapson Singers was organized three years ago at the last meeting of the old society of Missouri Harmony Singers and is composed entirely of the children and relatives of the members of the old organization, of which the only survivors are Messrs. Shuck and Hackleman, of Morristown.
At the meeting last year, which was by far the most successful in the history of either of the societies, Alonzo Meyers was elected president of the society, and Mrs. Charles Rocke, secretary. John Hargrove was chosen as conductor.
The rehearsals for the concert to be given this year are well under way and the entire progiam has not been selected, but the concirt promises to exceed any former one, both in music and finance. The rehearsals were started two weeks ago and one each week will be held until the time for the rendition of the concert.

v:sK Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S AS TO I A
IAGE FOR TWO MEN
Ask Divorce And Alimony, Alleging
That Husband's Were Cruel and
Failed to Provide.
Marriage seems to have proven a failure for two more women, who have filed suits for divorce, alleging that their husbands were cruel and failed to provide. Dassah Noblitt alleges that her husband, William J. Noblitt abused her, failed to provide and spent his money for whiskey. She asks for a divorce, $500 alimony, custody of their six-year-old daughter. Maybelle and $150 a year for support of the child.
Iona Bailey asks to be legally separated from Connie Bailey. Their married life seems to have been short and very unhappy. They were married in March 22, 1907 and separated June 19, 1908 and she alleges that four months after her marriage he struck her and swore at her and failed to make suitable provisions for her support. That because of this lailure and her physical condition, she was compelled to return to her father. She asks for a divorce, $1,000 alimony and that her maiden name of Iona Suits be restored.
LOT OF
W. T. Baker Has Finest Pens of Barred
Plymouth Rocks.
W. T. Baker, breeder of Barred Plymouth Rock chickens, says he has had a splendid egg trade this season, both at home and to ship. He has been getting about one hundred eggs a day and selling them all out for setting purposes. He has five pens of exhibition chickens which are laying about 45 eggs each day and they have been laying this way for two months.
Mr. Baker has tried several breeds of poultry since starting in the business but finds that the Barred Plymouth Rocka are the best general purpose fowls. There is the greatest demand for this breed now that there ever has been. They always bring the best prices too.
Mr. Baker is showing a pen of the evenest color Plymoth Rocks ever exhibited in a show room, according to parties who have been in the nhicken business many years longer than Mr. Baker.

WOULD PLAGE BLUE LAM EFFECT
Local Minister Denounces Sabbath
Business as Unnecessary and
Unfair to Others.
LITTLE DEMAND FOR DRUGS
But Says Lively Business is Carried on
in Cigars, Tobacco, Etc. Under
This Pretext.
Sunday morning Rev. B. F. Dailey preached on "The Lord's Day" at the Christian church and paid his respects to local conditions. He commended the closing of the postoffice on Sunday and hoped the day was not far distant when the carriers would not have to make Sunday collections. He denounced the open drug stores and cigar stands as unfair to other branches of business, as a hardship for clerks and as uncalled for by the public. He said there was little demand for drugs on Sunday, but that under this pretext a lively business was carried on in cigars, tobacco and the like. Mr. Dailey didn't see why a man couldn't on Saturday buy a supply of such things as well as of provisions for his other needs. From this he declared that the drug stores had no more right to be open than the groceries. He said that while the saloons are compelled to close on Sunday, justice demanded that all business that was not essential to the public welfare, be stopped.

COREDWHIRED.
How a Greenfield Citizen Found Complete Freedom From Kidney Troubles. If you suffer from backache—
From urinary disorders— From any disease of the kidneys, Be cured to stay cured. Doan's Kidney Pills make lasting cures.
Greenfield people testify. Here is one case of it:
John Kiger, 304 Swope Street, Greenfield, Ind., says:"My experience with Doan's Kidney Pills has been related in a testimonial I gave for publication three years ago, but it is always a pleasure for sufferers. For years my back ached a great deal and it was difficult for me to attend to my work. Whenever I exerted myself or brought a strain on the muscles of my back, I suffered from sharp twinges and the kidney secretions were irregular and caused no end of annoyance. Hearing about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a box at Qnigley's Drug Store and I soon found them to be just what I needed. They cured the backache and lameness and also corrected the kidney weakness. It required the contents of only six boxes of Doan's Kidneys Pill to cure me, though my case was of long standing. A number of persons who have read my statements have questioned me about my experience and at such times I have never faied to urge a trial of Doan's Kidney Pills."
