Our fairs are noted and strangers trom a distance have signified their inten- tion to be present. Lamar Democrat: From the Combs farm south of Lamar, a bunch of red clover was taken up and brought to this office. It is 18 inches high and siands thick on the ground, and this was just an average bunch not picked tor the occasion. Holden Enterprise: **When the cruel war is over’? between Rich Hill and Butler concerning the route ot the proposed C. & A. road from the last name place to Ft. Scott, something will be done en this end of the line. Lamar Democrat: J P. Bates from his farm brought us a sample of timothy now growing in a 12 acre pasture. It is 15 inches high and Mr. Bates says he has a splendid stand. We hear occasionally some old croaker say that tame grasses don’t do well here. ; The Dent county Democrat says the announcement that H. Martin Williams would locate at West Plains caused the railroad company to tear up its turn table and remove it to Augusta, Oregon countv, and that several business firms left How- ell county and have gone to Ore- gon. Lamar Missourian: From inter- views with many farmers throughout the county, we learn that corn 1s looking extremely well the recent rains having given the crop a_ splen- did start. Mr. Matlock, living south of town intormsus that his corn is ankle high, and growing rapidly. Nevada Wac/: A new bank, to be called the ‘‘Citizens Bank,’’ cash capital $50,000, was organized in this city Wednesday, and purchased for $7,500, the lot on corner of the square, on which a splendid building will be erected. By request, we defer particulars un- til next week. Joplin Herald: T. A. Shaw. pro- prietor of the Gulf house at Fort Scott, and A. R. Webb, manager ot the Cora Van Tassel Dramatic com- pany, are indulging in a tilt through the newspapers that already shadows some unsavory caryings on in that hostelry. The disclosures are not likely to help the tair fame of cither the hotel management or of the Cora Van Tassel company. Springfield Express: The coun- ty of Shannon needs another repre- sentative.

Appleton Journal: We | reliably intormed that the people of | | Hudson have adopted a new plan! | for raising money tor their Sunday | school. We are told that last Sun- |day evening a traveling showman} was allowed to give an entertainment | iin their house, and an admission | | was charged with the understand- | are | | ing that the Sunday school was to he | enriched with half the proceeds. | We are surprised that the good peo-/ ple in that vicimty should counten- | ance such things.

Of course we are not very well post- ed as to what kine. of a record Ap- pelton City has above, but it 1s our oppinion that the reverend gentle- man spoken of is just about as likely to be struck by a cyclone as Apple- ton city is. Neosho Afizer: A little fiye-year old son of Altred Peel, was on the track near the center of the railroad bridge, near Avoca on the Ft. Smith track, when the train came thunder- ing areund the curve on ‘Tuesday last. He threw himself flat on his face, between the guard and T. rails, across the heavy timbers that pro- ject outside ef the rails. The en- gine, tender and two cars passed over him. The train stopped, and the men rushed up expecting all the horrors ot a crushed and bleeding little form, staring and sightless eyes ; but the little fellow jnmped up, clinging to his school books and shapeless dinner bucket. His inju- ries consisted of a bruised arm, and aslight cut on the cheek. When the train stopped the boy’s coat sleeve was under the driving wheel | and held him fast. His escape was a miracle, and was made possible only by his wonderful presence of mind and determined pluck. Springfield Hera/d: Charles An- derson, a Scotchman who liyes on a farm adjoining Brookline, and_ his daughter, were bitten by a dog be- lieved to be mad on Tuesday. The animal had‘been away from home two or three days, and is supposed to have been bitten while absent. Some one remarked that the dog was | mad, whereupon Anderson insisted | that this was not so, and went up to the animal intending to tie him, when the dog jumped up and bit him inthe forehead. The dog then bita | | daughter of Anderson’s, when it} |was killed. The daughter 1s not considered to be many danger, as the skin was net broken.

Give us a call pose at Springfield. That was a noble act of our once Confederates, and it shows that brave and honor- able hearts. after a lapse of long years, are incapable of harborng resenyment, much less being beget- ters of strife. Napoleon was wont to say: ‘*When my enemy is killed or wounded he 1s no longer my en- | emy,”’ and all history applauds it, | except minds teu thin to take up | space in the eye of a cambric nee- | dle.
