Pitney returned Wednesday from St. Louis where he had been to consult an oculist, the sight of one of his eyes having failed rapidly of late. He was not given much encouragement, we are sorry to state. Friday, 13 June 1919, Vol 33. No 8--Claude Stevenson, who fought his part in the war as an ambulance driver with the army in Italy, and who had for fellow soldiers men mostly from California, among whom he made many warm and lasting friends and who were anxious for him to go on to California with them on their return, left Monday for Pasadena, that state, where he has promise of a position. He was accompanied by his brother David, more familiarly known as "Tater," who also went to seek employment. As the West seems to have a peculiar enchantment for folks from the East who remain any length of time, we presume the many friends of Claude and "Tater" have seen the last of them for some time. The best wishes of all follow them. Friday, 13 June 1919, Vol 33. No 8--About half the town went to Moberly Saturday owing to meet the troop trains having on board the Higbee boys on their way to Camp Funston for discharge. But one Higbee boy, David Sharp, was on the first train, which arrived about 11 p.m., the others not arriving until 6 the next morning. As the trains carried soldiers from all the surrounding counties, people flocked to Moberly from far and near, with the result that the town had the largest crowd on hand in its history, the streets being packed and jammed with people all night long. Friday, 13 June 1919, Vol 33. No 8--Dr. C. F. Burkhalter, who was one of the first in this locality to purchase a Ford, and which he has run several hundred thousand miles, more or less, and the engine of which has outworn every other part of the car down to the last bolt, had the car rebuilt this week by the addition of new fenders and running boards and the loudest one-seat red racing bed ever seen in the town. the car, generally recognized as the "runningest" Ford ever built, and which mud, stumps, ditches, telegraph poles, etc., could put out of commission for only a short time, is now faster than ever, being a great deal lighter. The Doctor gave the car a thorough test Tuesday on Sunshine hill, the car gaining speed at every revolution of the engine. He will use the car in his practice and expects to be able to get over any and all kinds of roads in record time, and will likely buy a larger car for pleasure. Friday, 13 June 1919, Vol 33. No 8--ANDERSON-BURTON NUPTIALS--The Rev. E. E.
