9 June 1911--Mr. Charles Mayo, one of the pioneer citizens of Randolph Co has lived in three counties, and yet he lives in a house that has been built 90 years, and has never lived in any other place. At a glance one would think such a thing as a man having lived in three counties and having never changed his location would be a physical impossibility. Here is the way that Mr. Mayo figures out the proposition. At one time in the history of Missouri and in his life time, Howard county comprised all the county in the state north of the Missouri river to the Iowa line and that was when Mr. Mayo lived in Howard county; later Chariton county was cut off from Howard and that time Mr. Mayo's home was in Chariton county; later Randolph county was cut off from Chariton and since that time Mr. Mayo's home has been in Randolph county, and to-day he is one of the pioneer citizens of Randolph county. Not many people who can claim to have at different times in their life lived in three different counties and yet lived in the same house all the time--Armstrong Herald. 9 June 1911--Uncle Sam on Tuesday announced a raise in the salary of 73 Missouri postmasters, among them being Postmaster J. P. Rankin of this place, who will draw $1300 a year after July 1, which is an increase of $100 over the present salary. 16 June 1911--Carrie Nation, the Kansas saloon smasher, died in a sanitarium In Leavenworth on the 9th, of paresis. She was born in Kentucky in 1846. In her early life she married a man addicted to the use of liquor, which created in her an intense aversion to the saloon. When he died she devoted her life to a suppression of the liquor traffic. She later moved to Kansas and married David Nation who sympathized with her temperance sentiments. She began her saloon smashing in 1900 when she wrecked a saloon at Wichita with a hatchet. Other women joined her and for a time saloon smashing was a popular sport. Of late years Mrs. Nation had been on the lecture platform. Her crusade in Kansas caused the state to be swept by the biggest temperance wave the state had ever known, and the strengthening of the prohibition laws. 16 June 1911--Three wagon loads of gypsies struck town Wednesday, but as there was not much money to be picked up by the women in fortune telling, they did not tarry. These nomads are noted the world over as horse traders, and this bunch had a very large number of extra animals, and all seemed to be good ones. The women folks were dressed in very gaudy colors, red and purple predominating. The dresses of some of them contained so many different colors that they looked like animated crazy quilts. 16 June 1911--GREAT WEALTH FOR JUDGE ROBB--Our good friend Judge Robb has recently returned from a trip to Pennsylvania. In the investigation about the great estate which is now the subject of so much litigation, he obtained irrefutable proof that he is the direct heir and will be one of the largest beneficiaries when the estate is settled. He is a grandson of one of the men who is a leader in the companpy now suing the present trustees of the Robb millions. The longer the search the more property is added to the list of resources. At present the estate is valued at something over one hundred million dollars--Moberly Democrat. Kathy
