Carlot Shipments
The Farm Club Shipping Association shipped one carload of cattle and three carloads of hogs to Kansas City on Wednesday of last week. Chas. H. Green loaded a car of Hereford cattle for shipment from here to Kansas City, Monday. Taylor N. Wright shipped a car of cattle to the Kansas City Market, Tuesday. A.E. Armstrong has shipped out a car of eggs weekly, the past three weeks.

Mrs. L.E. Shaffner returned on Tuesday of last week from a seven weeks’ visit with her uncle, B.F. Harris at Hemet, California, and at Los Angeles and Long Beach. She also visited Loyd Marolf and mother at Anaheim, California. They are former residents of the Ohio neighborhood and operate a fruit ranch at Anaheim. A lemon from their lemon grove, brought to the Independent office by Mrs. Shaffner, measures three and three-fourths by eleven and one-half inches.

Jim Holsenback of Meriden, Mississippi, pilot, and Dick Goodell, of New Orleans, mechanic, flying an American Eagle plane from Kansas City, to be delivered to a buyer at Meriden, Mississippi, stopped off here several days last week on account of “rough roads” in the air. The two aviators stopped at Wm. Haverland’s north of town on Monday and Tuesday nights and at Dan Bowman’s Wednesday night, Mr. Holsenback being an acquaintance of Mr. Bowman. They continued on their way Thursday and stated that they would probably make another trip through here soon with another plane, and promised to take Dan Bowman up for a ride. Dan, however, has decided to stay down here where he is better acquainted.

Saturday, May 4, Ed Hinkle and wife bought the dwelling property here in Lowry City, that they recently traded to Roy White for the farm they now occupy. The deal was made through the R.D. Gordon Real Estate Agency.
