The Missouri
Entert ineys.
The Kadclifie Chautauqua will
optn , s entertainment features
this : ear with concerts by one
oi e most popular organiza
tio s to be found in this country
The Missouri Entertainers, corn,
pose 1 of four r.a'/ve b<v M-s.«
ourinns, are under ch direction
of Edward C. Ban'cll, known
throughout the musical world as
one of the most successful com
posers for the saxophone, and a
perfoimer on that instrument
, of extraordinary ability. His
■ ■ compositions, solos ensembles,
> instruction material, etc., are re
cognized as instruction, and in
use wherever the saxophone is
known and played. Mr. Barrol*
Ji has earned a national reputation
as Director of the famous Ludwig
Saxophone Band, a St. Louis or
ganization of fifty instrument.
He is aceompnaied by Mrs. Bar
roll also nationally known among
the greatest women saxophonists
and by two other assisting ar
tists.
The work of this company is
highly artistic throughout. Its
programs are novel, consisting cf
saxophone ensembles, duets and
solos, vocal numbers, and read
ings. As an interesting diverti
sement, Mr. Barroll will introd
uce original and exclusive violin
trick- work, also the “flex-o-tone“
a unique instrument somewhat
resembling a “fly swatter”, but
capable of producing beautiful
effects in the hands of an artist
/ like Mr Barroll.
Those who attend the Chau
tauqua are certain of a rare treat
when thej see and meet this
friendly company of sincere mu
sicians. Those who are especially
interested in the saxophone are
> invited to discuss the instrument
or their problems with Mr. Bar
roll, for as Editor of the Saxo
phone Department of Jacobs’
Orchestra-Band Monthly, he is
undoubtedly the greatest Ameri
can authority on this instrument
CANCELLATION OF
MORTGAGES, ETC.
The attention of the public is
called to the necessity of can
celling all mortgages, notes, etc.,
that been paid and are on record
in the office of the register of
deeds. It is distinctly to the ad
vantage of the person who holds
such instruments that they be
cancelled, and is a great aid to
officers in making tax charges
against such individuals.
This information is given to
protect the interest of taxpayers
of the county, and if followed
will be for general good.
W. J. Jackson, Jr.,
County Auditor.

jf friends gathered to pay their
last tribute to her memory, The
sen ice was conduct'd by Rev.
Theodore Partrick : nd the wri
ter.
.tliss Latham was in her forty
sixth year. She received hei
education in same of the leading
schools of Ame ica, At th. age
if sixteen she graduated from •
Norfolk College with hignest
honors. In 1899 she entered the |
university of North Carolina,

Intel! c ually she was* a ve
the av rage. As a teacher, she
won by her superior qualities,
the high esteem ard affectionate
regard of all with whom she
came into contact, and whenever
her lot was cast she was endow
ed with the facuhy of making
her students believe[in them
selvPs and ihe art of drawing
out the very best from all; She
was nrver a strong wom

1 her profession to’d on her heal
th: yet she never spared herself,
but want bravely on wit a her
task. Darmg her last days she
was called upon to suffer greatly
but there was not a murmui
heard from her. Her resign ition
was most beautiful1: so beautiful
was she in ail the Ch: i uian erree
that she became a si it ing light
to all who knew her. Her ( duca
tion, her fine sense, her broad
sympathies and her v. ide ter.dii jt
made her a person v. hose com
pany was constantly s. ugiit, She
never obtruded her < pinions, but
maintained that quiet enact t’ at
attracted many.
Hers was a life riel) in its fr. j -
rant usefulness. The fragn i ce
of her life remains with us. A
eacher, a scholar and a true
Christian bis been trarsj anted.
