Scribbled OCR fragment from Jasper Missouri newspaper page shows publication details with multiple garbled lines. Mentions Jasper, Missouri, a post office entry, subscription cost and format notes, but no clear news event or datable article content.
The News notes Judge Jas A Daugherty seeking renomination in Missouri's Fifteenth District and J W Meredith of Carthage aiming for Jasper County assessor. It mentions an Arizona bill requiring price postings by physicians, a request for The Report of the Director from the Agricultural Experiment Station, a Kansas City Times humor column, Humane Society horse watering rules, a town farmer opposing road bonds, and forage crop circulars from the Missouri Station. Also includes a poetry-like reflection on conscience and judgment.
William Alien White recalls a girl from North Merchant Street who grew from a brown eyed tow headed child to a soon to graduate student at the late university. He muses on how time flies turning a youngster into a grandmother in a single wink.
The circular argues against parcels post offering cheaper small-package transport. Critics say it would create a post office deficit, undercut local retailers, and push farmers to lose market access. They claim mail order houses would push government-supported costs onto others, harming small towns.
A fragmented discussion argues that adopting a European style centralized system would shrink village life as people move to cities. It warns small country stores would vanish, reducing local markets for farmers and forcing longer hauls for grain and crops, hurting rural economies.
Arch McDonald sheriff announces public auction of property described in a trust deed dated April 4 1911 recorded May 1811 in Hook 127 514 to secure three notes. Default on one note and interest triggers sale. Auction at the courthouse in Carthage Missouri on June 8 1919 at 2 pm.
Judge Pettingill of Chanute Tribune outlines a challenging Kansas crop outlook for the coming season. May reports note wheat losses in Wilsonship, a reduced fruit crop around 16 percent, and drought affecting corn. September reports say Farmer Smith sold thirty four bushels of wheat and his wife processed twenty four varieties of canned fruit totaling two hundred eighty quarts while considering a Bugg Bing motor car priced at 3400 dollars.
The Auto Contest involving the verland automobile prize ends prematurely as Miss Adoling Schooler Monday withdraws. Ian nominates successor Miss Oma Webb of Jasper, with Webb viewed as a strong successor to continue the race. Carthage merchants conduct the event under the auspices of the Bile Lodge.
A lettered testimonial from Mrs. Agra Kenn of Mechanic Street Macbli, Cole, describes a long struggle with nervous prostration and insomnia. After a neighbor procured a bottle of a treatment, she reports complete recovery and renewed strength, praising Miles Medical products sold in Elkhart Indiana for nerve support.
A Jacksonville resident replies to an eastern inquirer about Westward facilities in 1854. The letter satirically notes travel timing, money, and danger, claiming settlers endure bread, bacon, and whiskey, with crude foods and rough living as the West’s lot.
Fragmentary text mentions a judge, justice, and assorted terms like remedies and medical conditions such as boils and piles. The passage is garbled, unreadable in places, and lacks coherent events or names to summarize into a fuller report.
