The town was literally jamed with wagons, horses and country people, and our mer- chants all seemed to be having a live ly trade. This is as it should be, and we are truly glad to see business once more reviving in such a sub- stantial manner. This is certainly the season of the vear for purchas— ing all kinds of goods, and our mer- chants should see that they do not let their advertising lag. A town is just what business men make it.

Birth Day Party. On the occasion of the 17th anni- versary of Miss Nannie Day quite a number ot friends gathered at her parents’ palatial residence on Dako- to street, to rejoice and make mer ry in celebrating this eventful peri- odin her life. Mrs. Day received the guests in her usual happy man- ner and made all feel tree and easy. The evening passed quickly and joy- ously amidst music, social games and pleasant intercourse. Mrs. Day had spread a delicious supper in the dining hall ot the Evan’s boarding house, next door, whither the guests repaired about 10 o’clock and were abundantly feasted. It was ajoyous occasion and a complete surprise to Miss Nannie who, however, pet- for med the duties of hostess in a gracious and becoming manner, and looked exceedingly lovely and be- witching.

Witiey, Auctioneer. i all north of Hume, Bates county, | 16 heifers, | 1 graded bull, all/ shoats, | 1 Sol Smith Busseil. | | This famous comedian will appear | jon Thursday, Oct. 23d. The Brook- | lyn Eagle. in speaking ot his first | appearance in that city, says: | ‘* ‘Edgewood Folks,’ played last | evening at the Brooklyn Park Thea- | tre for the first time in this city, is | destined to enjov here the same | phenomenal popularity that it has ' so speedily gained elsewhere. It | full of humor, innocent | merriment and kindly wit, and is just what 1s wanted in the way of a light, pleasing and innocent amuse- jment. Itis full of bright sayings, comical situations and cleverly de- | signed incidents, and gives scope tor good acting to a company honestly able to boast that it has been select- ed with a view to the best of comedy acting, and not merely to make bal- last for a star. Mr. Sol Smith Rus- sell, who plays the principal part, that ot Tom Villoway, is, or ought to be, known to the general reader as one of the most versatile of legiti- | mate comedians that we have. There appears to be no line ot comedy parts that he cannot take. His sketches ot character, marked by the most comprehensive study and ex— pressed by an innumerable phalanx of little touches in detail, proves that his schooling in dramatic art beenthorough. With his keen acter and his amazing hitting off its salient points, Mr. Russell has two of the highest qualifications that a comedi- is decorious has in- tuition of char; dexterity in ancan have. Of a company that contains such artists Mr. Russell it is superfluous to speak, except to anticipate the gen- as accompany eral verdict of warm commendation.’” Golder. Wedding. Mr. M. R. Henry and wife, nee McGoffin, at their home near Odes- sa, Mo., on the 2d day of October, 1884, reached the climax of happi- ness in matrimony, having lived in peace, prosperity and love tor 50 years that day. It was for them a glorious occasion. O, they looked happily their children, grand children and other relatives present. on That venerable couple were appar- ently in the bloom of life, so far as, at least, buoyancy, vivacity and hope could make them. At the proper hour a bountifully loaded table was presented, consist- ing of every variety that could be procured in this country to complete the acme of a grand festivity and so- cial interchange of the recalled inci— dents in the past half century. It was a happy time, not only for the noble and venprable subjects of this golden wedding, but their children and other relatives and friends pres- ent. In the parlor were attached to the broad wall, near the ceiling, the fig- ures 1834, and immediately below it the figure of a horse shoe, wrought with the entwining evergreen and myrtle, and beneath it 1884. The entertainment was tollowed at nighttall with a social hop, in which the old (ah there were nu old there) and young participated, buoy- ed along by the ckeering strains of sweet music. The presents were numerous, ard all of tnem either gold or ornament- ed and finished with gold. We no- ticed a Bible-of splendid adornments and broad pages, given by a daugh- ter; two canes, many gold coins ot much value. A basket of cut flowers, representing youth and old age, from Miss Julia Smith, of Kansas City; and many other articles of in- terest and much value. We hope our venerable friends and neighbors will live to celebrate a diamond wedding—one hudredth. | Shooting at Johns»n City. | On last Saturday mght during the | progress of a Republican speaking | | Dr. J.
