"Some say they don't care for style: 'give me good, becoming clothes: never mind the style.' If they were sincere. they would be pathetie: they are neither. Gentlemen are never wholly indifferent to style. The great majority occupy middle ground. They know that the best style is never conspicuous, and always becoming. They regard clothes as more than a mere covering for the body: and they know that a man's clothes express his taste and character."


By offering the very latest clothing at reasonable prices the firm of Blackwell & Chenoweth has built up a large trade with the townspeople. the farmers, and the college students. who are always particular in their dress. Mr. Blackwell, the senior member of the firm. is, himself. a Central College man and each year bas a large acquaintanceship among the boys. The company has been very successful in pleasing all classes. The store offers a fine line of men's shoes, made by the "Hathway, Soule & Harrington" Manufacturing Company, of Boston. A more stylish shoe is not to be found in the market. Blackwell & Chenoweth's store has always been an excellent place to buy stylish hats, nobby shirts, and the latest ties, collars and cuffs. The firm also has the agency for Dorn & Cloney's Laundry, of Sedalia. The store is fortunate in its location. It ocenpies the corner. south of the courthouse, which witnesses more traffic than any other one corner in town, owing to the fact that it is on the direct route to the depot. leading off of the square.

Telephone No. 13 TALBOT & BURCKHARTT Proprietors of The City Livery. Feed, and Sale Stable


T HE LIVERY business now conducted by the two young men. Messers. Talbot and Burckhardt. is one of the oldest business concert- in town. The business was established by Mr. J. B. Brooks at the close of the civil war. Mr. Brooks is closely identified with the history of Fayette. He was born in Boone County, Missouri, October 21. 1839. At the age of five he was brought to Howard county with his father's family, where he was reared and educated. In 1861. at the age of twenty-four. he enlisted in the army and took an active part in the war Toward the close of the struggle he joined the celebrated "Bledsoe Battery, " with which he served notil the surrender, in Nie. After the close of the war he immediately came to Fayette and entered upon an honorable business career which lasted through many years. As a business man he was always successful and as a citizen, always respected. His first barn was located on the lot east of the county jail. In 182 he moved to the corner now occupied by the New Century Build- ing. A few years later he was burned out. losing all his feed. horses, and rigs. Mr. Brooks then built the barn which stands at this time. He continued the business in this location until his death. July 13. 1902. At that time the busi- mess was purchased by E. J. Hay- & Son and successfully managed until the first of this year when it was transferred to the present owners, who are now making many improvement- and adding new homes and rig -.


When Mr. Talbot and Mr. Burckhardt came into possession they received. in the transfer of stock. nothing more valuable than the old established reputation which attaches to the business. Atthepresenttime the barn is well- equipped with horses and stylish rigs. An excellent line of closed carriages, double and single rigs, and saddle horses are at the service of the public. The barn makes a specialty of single rigs, and supplies a large patronage. A large number of the city drivers board their horses at this barn and it is a popular place for farmers to "put up" their teams. while in town. Dr. A. J. Munn. the successful veterinary, has his headquarter- at this barn. Talbot & Burekhartt con- tinue the old established bus line and transfer which have been running for years. The owners are fortunate in having their barn located in the business portion of town, just off of the square and near the Howard Hotel

Phillip saith unto Nathaniel, 'Come and we."

T 11IS BARN offers some handsome turnont- in the way of closed carriages, double and single rigs. The team- are all reliable and careful drivers are furnished. An elegant new hearse has lately been added to the barn and special attention is given to cab service for funerals and weddings. This is a popular place for single driver -. "Bawly" is perhaps the most popular single driver in town. This horse is well-known on the streets and has long been a favorite. "Bawly" has helped many a young man to win his girl as all of the young ladies consider it a rare privilege to ride behind him. The young men have discovered this fact and as a result the horse is always greatly in demand and beloved by the young folks in general.


The barn gives special attention to the traveling public and many salesmen are driven over the country. The new drummers' wagon has added to this trade. About a year ago Mr. Shores established a new bus line which is now getting its share of the business. Baggage is always delivered promptly and for reasonable prices.


The barn is located near the colleges and has always secured a large share of the college trade. Mr. Shores' "hay rides" in summer and "bob rides" in winter are very popular and frequent events with the students of both colleges. Many of the carriages for the college social events are engaged at this barn. Mr. Shores is, himself. it young man who mixes with the boys and has a large acquaintance among them. Mr. Shores is very fortunate in having such an efficient forer at his command, as that indicated at the top of the page. The proprietor of the barn believes thoroughly in the division of labor and he has so trained his men that now each one excel in his own department.

THE RAVINE Photo by bringsbị


A PECULIAR case of land erosion to be seen three miles south of Boonsboro. This is a remarkable illustration of the manner in which the loess deposits of this region are eroded by temporary or permanent streams. The loess is a deposit left during the Cham- plain Epoch by the receding foods which resulted from the melting of the great ice sheet which ouce extended over the whole northern portion of the American continent. About one-fifth of Howard county is covered with this rich deposit. in which thrive white oak and all kinds of fruit trees. The loess interlies the alluvium along the river and also the prairie in the northeastern part of the county. The deuse timber which once covered a large portion of the county grew in this loess deposit.

THE MINERAL WELLS BATH HOUSE Photo by Grigsby


A STRONG flow of sulpho-saline water was struck at. the time the city sunk the deep well in the southern part of town for the purpose of finding a water supply for the city waterworks. The mineral nature of the water prevents its use for domestic purposes but it has been found to possess important chemical qualities. A corporation, known as the "Fayette Mineral Wells Company, " was organized by fifty enterprising young business men for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a swimming pool and bath rooms. The water is especially suited for this use. A convenient bath house, as shown in the picture, has been con- structed, with facilities for hot and cold baths and a deep plunge. A. F. Davis, president of the company. sent a sample of the water to the "Kennicott Water Softner Company," of Chicago, and found the analysis to be: Sodium chloride, 1214.17 grains per United States gallon ; calsium chloride, 70.21 grains : magnesium chloride, 84.55 grains : calsium sul- phate, 111.25 grains : calsium bicarbonate, 11.3 grains : silica. 1.19 grains : iron and aluminum oxides, .81 grains : and suspended matter of the nature of sulphur. 7.47 grains. The water supply is being shipped out. There is inducement here for the opening of a sanitarium.
