Carter Wallace, one of the honest yeomanry of near Virginia, and a staunch, tried and true friend of the booming ‘limes called to see us last week, and we were glad to see him. Wesley Artow Smith and Chas. Chawning, the two young men fined some time ago before a justice court in this city and who tailed to pay ther hnes are now on the rock pile in the work house. Itthe Sedalia papers are to be re- lied upon, the State Temperance Convention hetd in that last week was not altogether city harmoni ous, and much teeling of a personal nature was indulged in by the meme bers. Rich Hit! had a sensational shoot- ing scrape last week between Chas. Shelley and Joho Welch, the U. S. Guager. It seems the trouble grew out of Welch being on too terms with Shelley’s wate, was hurt. intimate Nobody The prominent business men ot Clinton are straining their muscle to draw another railroad to that city. Well, as it takes energy, and a strong pull and a pull altogether to influence the railroads, we admire their pluck. : That tearless old democratic war horse, Pierce Hackett, while in. the city attending court Friday pulled our'latch string and gave us a social call. From his conversation it would fot surprise us much to hear of him entering the race for representative. We have just received the Regis- tet, @ new paper just started at Adrian by G. N. Goff. It 1s a very newsy and well printed little paper and we wish Mr, success, but have often the Advertiser sufficsent to fill the long felt want in that community. Nyhart is the name ot a flourishing little town, just laid off, about seven miles west of this city on the Empo- tia railroad. The railroad company has builf substantial stock pens, put in a switch and we understand are furnishing stock cars to Kansas City $2 less than the L. & S. Our sanctum was graced Monday evening with the presence of Miss Lula Everingham and friend Miss Mamie Young, of Lexington, Mo.

He did not consider them up to the standard as recommend and hence canceled the engagement. Mr. Kinney deserves great credit for his untiring zeal to obtain none the best entertainments for our p ple, and when Don recommends a show, you may be sure it is worth seeing. From Thos. Balzum, who was in the city Friday we k rn the purticu- ed to a little son, aged 5 or 6 years, ot Mr. James, of E+st Boone town ship, Wednesday. Our said Mr. James had driven his wagon informant and team to the house and during his absence the litle fellow climbed on one ot the wheels, and the team starting up threw hin to the ground the wheel passing over his chest so imyuring him that itwas thought he could not recover. C. B. McFarland, who went to Texas for his health a short time ago, was suddenly called home last week by a telegram intorming him of the serious illness of bis baby. His many friends will be glad to learn that although his stay in the Lone Star state was trief, yet it did him good, and his health was greatly benefitted. He not only gained tast in health, but weight also, weighing 20 pounds heavier than for years. We are also pleased to state his child 1s now improving. The building of the iron block, on the ground formerly occupied by the Butler carriage works and Smith’s livery stable, is being pushed as fast as possible. Bennett, Wheeler & Ce., and J. M. Catterlin are busy preparing the foundations for their Sarge warehouses, while T. W. Legy, who was alittle energetic, has his iron carriage shop completed and is in it and ready to sell you a high or low priced carriage or buggy, and will do all kinds of repair work.

A vote of the two pettit ju- nies attending our circuit court last week on their choice for congress- man resulted as follows: Gantt 23, Stone 1. These two junes were composed almost entirely of farmers and their vote 23 to 1, but voices the sentimeng ot the people ot this coun- ty. One of the most pleasant social affuirs ot the season was the enter- tainment given by the Arion Quar, tette, at the magnificent residence ot Dr. and Mrs. Everingham on North Main street last Tuesday evening. A choice programme ot song, solos and instrumental pieces by the quar- tette, M. P. and Ed Campbell, R. W. Peach and Charlie Raithel, and Mrs. Trimble and Misses Lula Ev- eringham and Rena Davidson, which was all excellently rendered ani well received.

Mrs. Parkinson and Miss Mamie Young favored the compaay with songs and Mr. Chas. Raithel rendered several pieces on the Zith- er. tle time betore he was recognized. Finally he was recognized and the sheriff remarked to him that he had fixed himself this time. **Yes,’’ said Hyte, “I did all Lam charged with and expect to tell the whole story and get a long term.’’ Accidentally Shot. A 15 year old son of L. Bradford at the mines, was accidentally shot early this morning. The boy with his brother aged about 9 years, were carelessly handling a 33 caliber pis- tol when it was discharged; the ball entered the left side of the neck and lodged 1n the jaw.

Not Easily Caught on the Wing. Instantaneous photography 1s not what it 1s cracked up to be, and al- though I have had occasion to inves- tigate every plan or proposition that would give a rapid print or catch a notorious crook on the wing, I have never succeeded. The crooks are too fly to stand around while you square up your portable camera to catch their face, and they quickly turn their backs on you. No, these instantaneous cameras are good only when you are certain ot light and have your objects at an exact dis- tance to meet the requirements of yourlens.
