ARCHIE. Its Resourees, Advantages, En- terpr.se aud Possibilities. Semething of a Town of Whose Merits the World is in Ig- norance. PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE. From the Archie Herald. Archie 15 situated on the L. & S. branch of the Mo P. R. R. one half mile north of the Cass and Bates county line, in the midst of the finest stock and farming country in the State. The trade tributary to the town extends twenty miles west and ten miles east, while Harrisonville 12 mileson the north and Butler 16 miles on the south vie with it for the trade in those directions. The United States Postal Department has discovered that Archie is an excep- tional pomt for distribution of mail to the surrounding country and seven towns and villages receive their mail through our post office. Archie 1s a railroad town in that it was built by the Mo. P. R. R. in 1880. It was incorporated in 1881 as a village. It was a prosperous thriving town but with no means of informing the world’ at large ot its iramense advantages to the settler, travel passed it by to locate in inferior towns made large on ‘paper, by unscrupulous writers and while such tewns ak Rich Hill and Walnut in Bates cotinty resounded to the tread of the’ incoming multitudes, Archie pursued the even tenor of her way knowing all comes right to those who wait, and her stability is an ev- idence of the soundness of her judg- ment. Archie now has the proud distinction of being one of the most solid financial towns in Southwest Missour: and after three years of slurs and sneers ot pushing riyals she stands to-day boldly in the front and commands the respect of the coun- trv for her solidity, and integrity. With a population of three hundred and fitty liberal minded people she 1s now buckhng on her armor and pre- aggressive war paring to carry an for commerce into the stronghold of all neighboring towns. The town 1s beautifully laid out in squares of 300 feet with So foot Streets and sidewalks ure being rap— idly laid all over the town. The property owners looking to the fu- ture with an eye to beauty are setting out rows of trees in front of their res— idences and in a few more years they will be able,metaphonically speaking, to ‘‘worship God under ther own vine and fig tree.’’ The Congregational church has the finest church building im Cass_ or Bates county and the Baptist are preparing to echpse it with a build- ing costing three thousand dollars. As this 1s a religious community the church houses will then be too small tor the congregations that crowd to hear the Gospel on the Sabbath. The educational facilities are in— adequate to meet the increasing de- mand anda large graded school building will be erected during the summer. A move is also on foot by the Baptist Association to erect a large academy costing $3,000, the citizens agreeing to turnish $1,000 towards it. THE PROSPECTS. ot Archie are very flattering as she ts surrounded by «a community of wealthy and energetic tarmers who are reaching out after new ideas and are keeping even with the umes. Everett, Rosier, Burdett, Brosley, Austin and Dayton are tributary towns and r€ceive all their goods through this place. The Marshali Oil Well, of which so much has been written by the Adrian Advertiser, who claims ownership, ts six miles trom Archie over good level roads and is in fact part of her district as time will tell should the oil be found in paying quantities, of which fact there can be no doubt. The whole country is underlaid with coal beds and only needs development to rival Rach Hill in that branch ot in. dustry. The Archie coal shaft aban- doned at 130 feet for want of funds stands ready to be Teopened as soon us capital can be induced to take hold.

As to the future of the town it is plain that it will now advance with rapid strides to the front rank with its neighbors and be a flourishing city of not less than 2,000 inhabitants within less than 5 years from now. Mark the predic- tion! Guitean’s Prophecies Fulfilled. Washington, D. C., Feb. 12.— Since Col. Corkhill, late United States attorney for this district, has been relieved from tne cares of ot- fice he has time to reflect over the incidents and the evidence in the Guiteau trial. © In:conversation with several newspaper correspondents ac Willard’s hotel last night he said: “*Phedeading medical expert who testified against Guiteai, and two ot the jury who convicted him, are hopelessly insane. One of the dis- tinguished counsel who helped me conduct the prosecution has become a common drunkard, and I have been summarily, dismissed from of- fice. Thus have the lunatic’s proph- ecies been fullfilled, as you will dis- cover by persueing the printed re— cord of the case. Since [ have had time te reflect over the remarkable trial [am more and more convinced that Guiteau was hopelessly insane and should have been confined in an asylum. But what was I to do?” added the voluble Corkhill; ‘those high in authority admolished me that the theory of insanity must he combatted with all the power of the government, and thus afford no op- portunity to attribute the crime to Conkling or Arthur in their New York war upon President Garfield. 1 remember the zeal with which Mr. George Bliss and others appealed to the medical experts to so testify as to leave no doubt of Guiteau’s in- sanity. There are several tacts con- nected with the celebrated trial which Iam no longer interested in suppressing ; they are known to sev- eral persons here, but will not be sort to protect the nation from the schemes and machinations of such mer as George Bliss and Frark hutton, who are making herculean efforts to perpetuate the ‘earte blanch,’ which has been given them upon the federal treasury.”’ + Drunkards Wives. From the Sedalia Bazoo. The Iowa Supreme Court has de- eided that drunkenness 1s no grounds for a divorce, where the lady knows the man she marries is a drinking man. To a woman who had com- mitted this act ct lunacy, the court says: This woman married a drankard, and she must discharge the duties of a drur.kards wite.”’ Itis no difficult matter nowdays to ascertain to a certainty. all the hab- its ana vices ot a young man. Em- ployers learn them readily enough, too readily for the liking of the young men, aad very promptly discharge them, for even only moderate drink- ing. Girls have no valid excuse for marrying aman who drinks at. all. The plea of ignorance about the hab- it, would not hold good in one ca ina hundred. If you marry a drink- ing man girls, you must as the ¢. says, discharge the duties ot adrunk- ards wife. What these duties are. and how hard and almost impossible itis for women to discharge r them, who have gone dowa to the grave. with blighted lives, in the vain deavor, could tell. en- Ex-Mayor Palmer of Boston joices that Wendell Phillips died Demoerat. the : rand River and the string of lakes, ; | it is one of the most healthful towns | started | The school ; promulyated except as a derniot re- | thousands of noble-hearted women, | | Josh Billings on Infidelity.
