I used only the Monitor to advertise my jewelry saU and from the very first issue the people were attracted to my store and I have been crowded since then. A large part of the stock has been sold. The Moni tor evidently covers a large area, for people came to my sale from every direction. In conclusion. I wish to say that in the past. I have used other ways of adver tising and used other newspapers as well as the Monitor, but nothing ever near equaled the Monitor as an advertising me dium. The Monitor's columns have always proved profitable to me and I am pleased to say no. II. J. Rowe. MONMOUTH ELECTS At Monday's election in Mon mouth the following ticket was elected: H. C.

Collins kept it a secret un til this week when they broke the news to their many friends in Independence, While it was generally noticed that Mr. Col lins and "Mi.ss Lindley" were "keeping company" and it was thought that eventually it would be a "match", no one suspected that the "match" had been made. Delayed congratulations are in order and are hereby ex tended.

RJfiotl-O'Bricn Co. THE RHYMING SUMMARIST Monday wc said to Sadie Shucks, "Buy something for our fellow," But Sadie shook her peroxide locks And swore the cuss was yellow; There's no ring1 upon her thumb, Tho for months she's hinted, Xmas for her Is all a blur Because his tongue is stinted. Then we said to Sadie Shucks, "You should stop this worry, Have you forgotten what year this is, There's time but you must hurry; Now, into a big- arm chair, Get your bashful Thomas, And sink or swim, Sit on him Until you get his promise. Yesterday Sadie called on us And she was very happy, "I followed directions to a T And so 1 trapped my chappy''; We are glad that Sadie's cheered In the joyful Christmas season, If others are not We tell you what You outfht to guess the reason. Happy is as happy does, This virtue lias no beating, We pass it out to you and you, As our Christmas greeting; To buy gifts for loved ones, The people now are flocking1, And if I were you, I'd borrow, too, A bigger, larg-er stocking. 1 1 1 1 , r. k 1
