On Friday evening January 8 1909 at seven oclock the Bedford and Afton high schools held the third debate at Steels Opera House.

The Afton side denies the proposition with Wayne Hamman Arnold Sander and Pearl Callahan and Sidney Kelly as alternate. Both sides describe each school as a former victor and emphasize the contest as a draw in anticipation. The notice urges attendance and promptness to support the young debaters given the 7 PM start due to a transportation schedule.

Insurance advertising dispute over stock loss settlements
A letter from the Old Line agents criticizes Paylor County Mutual Insurance, arguing about price and loss settlements for stock. It cites a steer valued at 33 dollars versus 25 dollars, asserting settlements are based on replacement cost and appraisal by independent stockmen. The notice mentions a steer settled under the judgment of L. E. Morley and Chas. Campbell in 1908 and promotes mail-order insurance as cheaper and more comprehensive.
