Mrs. Charles Veatch and her two bright and interesting
daughters, Misses May and Ruth, are enjoying
a visit to Keytesville friends and relatives. They formerly
resided here and like everybody else who
ever lived in Keytesville, they are always glad to get
back. Mr. Veatch, who has been for sometime
on the editorial staff of the Kansas City Journal, has
accepted a simlar position on the Chicago Tribune
and his family will soon join him in the World's Fair
city.
Adkinson Price of 3 1/2 miles southeast of Keytesville
left last Wednesday night by way of Moberly
and St. Paul Minn. for Miles City Montana, some 60 miles
from which place he has accepted
employment on a sheep ranch. We hope that Adkinson may
have success in currying the wild and
wooly West and make his fortune in that rugged rough
and ready country.
