Golden Anniversary

Mr. and Mrs. George M. Bayless of the Antioch locality northwest of this city four miles, celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage at their home Tuesday, October 14.

Mr. and Mrs. Bayless were married on October 14, 1869 and went to the house-keeping on the farm where they now live and have continued to live there happily for the half century.

Their three children, Poke Bayless, Mrs. Charles McNally and Mrs. Cam McCary and families and other relatives and friends gathered at the Bayless home Tuesday and the occasion was one of a family reunion as well as in honor of the Golden Wedding anniversary.

Mr. and Mrs. Bayless and their estimable family are among our country's very best citizens. The REPUBLICAN extends congratulations upon this occasion and wishes for them many happy returns of their wedding anniversary.

Appointed to West Point

Deck Reynolds, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy D. Reynolds of St. Louis, has been appointed by Senator Spencer as a Cadet to West Point. This is one of the exceptional honors which may come to a young man and the REPUBLICAN congratulates Deck upon having received it.

The entrance examinations will likely be held early next spring. Deck will be graduated from a St. Louis High School about the first of the year. He has an excellent record for proficiency in his High School work. His good standing in High school caused him to be selected several months ago by Senator Spencer as a prospective appointee to West Point.

Deck's Cassville relatives and friends are very much pleased to know of the appointment and wish him the greatest of success. 

Forged Check

A few weeks ago a man by the name of Rhodes bought a bill of goods amounting to about $40 at the Brown Mercantile Co., of this city and in paying for the goods presented a check for $220. The check was endorsed by Mr. Brown and cashed by Rhodes at a bank and the goods paid for. A large share of the remained of the amount was left on deposit by Rhodes at the bank. The check proved later to be bogus and Mr. Brown had to make the amount good.

Friday Mr. Brown who had been on Rhodes trail, heard that Rhodes had been killed at Tulsa, Okla.

The check endorsed by Mr. Brown purported to have been drawn by Harlan Roller of Seligman made payable to a Mr. Scott who Rhodes said was a farmer on White River.

Mr. Brown was acquainted with Rhodes and Roller but did not know Scott.

The report of the killing of Rhodes also stated that Scott was also killed at the same time in an attempted hold up. Mr. Brown has been wondering if the killing may not also be bogus.
