Judge Boxly, J. W. Badger, of this city, and J. F. Smith, of Rich Hill, candidates for prosecuting at- torney made speeches at the Johnstown picnic Saturday. They report the democrats of that section enthusiastic and unanimous for the success of the party. Thos. Berryhill favored us substan- taintially Saturday. Mr. B. as road- overseer has been doing some ex- cellent work southwest of town and the roads in his district are now in splendid condition. This can be said of most of the roads in Mount Pleasant Township. W. O. Jackson will leave about the 12th for a short visit to his old home in Iowa. He will be back in time to take an active part the campaign and do valient work for the democratic ticket, and all know he is a terror tothe republicans when he takes the stump. in Judge DeArmond, who is a candi- date for supreme judge, is not making any canvass but he is one Robertson, is visiting Miss Sallie Brugler. _ Coe The Creole, sold by J.

It begins to look as though Fran- cis was in the race for governor, combinations and the Kansas City. Times notwithstanding. S.W. Dooley and J. F. Smith stopped over for a short time Sat- urday, on their way to attend the political picnic at Johnstown. The Democratic girls of the city could win the lasting gratitude of the Thurman club by presenting them with a suitable club banner. For the past two or three weeks Kansas City has furnished her quoto of suicides. Some five or six a week however, is a small circumstance for 80 enterprising a town. Isaac McDemuth, a prominent tepublican and journalist of Sedalia, threw off his old political habili- ments and proclaimed his allegiance to democracy and tariff reform. The Democrats out at Virginia have a well organized club of 60 members, and will enter the cam- paign this year united and enthusi- astic for Cleveland, Thurman and re- form. It has been decided by competent experts that the pole raised by the republican club on the north side is nothing more nor less thana Chinese chinquapin.

He is a student and an able lawyer. Should fortune favor him at Springfield, he will have no cause to complain of his support in this county.—Lamar Democrat. Capt. A. A. Lesueur, editor of the Lexington Intelligencer and candi- date for secretary of state, while in the city Monday, called on the Times. Mr. L. is making a thorough canvass of the state and from present indi- cations his chances of success are very flattering. Heis an educated gentleman and would make the state a most excellent officer. A little son of Bryant Hood, living two and one-half miles north of Strausburg, in Cass county, met with a fatal accident last week. The boy was hanging a hammock in the stable loft and while tying one end of the rope to a beam fell and broke his neck. The fall was only about three feet. He was first found by his. little six year old sister who gave the alarm. The Thurman Club of Butler at- tended the political picnic near Johnstown last Saturday in a body. This is the best drilled club in the State and, while the boys are not voters, they are enthusiastic work- ers, and are democrats not because their fathers are, but for reasons, a few of which were set forth in a manly article in last week’s Tres in answer to a slur from the Record. The pioneer settlers of Henry county held a successful reunion at the Windsor Mineral Springs last Wednesday, The old settlers of this county ought to meet and form a similar organization. A day in each year could be spent very pleas- )antly in this way. Let someold set- | tler call a meeting through the Tnies and we will do all in our power to j assist in the organization.

Mr. Kellar will be editor, and Mr. P. will take the field to solicit subserip- ‘tions. Ifit is the experience Mr. P. wants it won't take him long to get it.

The hortiecul- | tural society has taken the matter | in hand and will use every effort to have the county properly represent- ed both in agricultural and mineral resources. We are requested to say that a meeting of the democrats of Spruce township, will be held at Ballard, Thursday evening the 16th for the purpose of organizing a Cleveland and Thurman club. Every democrat in the county is requested to be present and assist in the organiza- tion. The fine rains of Sunday and Monday morning have done thou- sands of dollars worth of good to the farmers of this county. The late corn especially is greatly benetitted. The farmer as well as the merchant wears a broad smile. and we have every reason to believe all is well with us this year. The normal institute is now in ses- sion at the Acadamy building. Com- missioner Graves and assistants are doing all in their power to make the meeting ea succes. Every teacher in the county should take advantage of the oceasion and attend. Aninter- change of ideas is of incalculable ben- efit to the practical teacher The Tues has on more than one occasion shown that it was particu- larly friendly to W. B. Bridgeford, and we can assure him that in coup- ling his name with a local notice clipped from the Nevada Noticer last week was purely a joke on our part and we thought would be taken by Mr. Bridgeford as such, but as he seems to think it was a slur at his good name, we wish tosay that nothing of the kind was intended. The poor old Record, has had its backbone stiffened materially of late for some unexplained reason. For- merly it has been afraid to “cheap” without the consent of certain promi- nent democratic politicians. This was the cause of starting the Republican a few years ago, as the republicans in the county wanted an organ they could depend on. But we presume that Aus. has promised to do better, and it may be he is out from under the thumb pressure, or defying the fates. Or, it may be his course is in strict conformity with his past history and his assailing democratic officials meets the approbation of these same democratic allies. Whatever is the reason, Austin is to be commended for his show of nerve. Still Booming. Ed. Carnes, depot agent at this place, who has had under consider- ation for several months the propri- ety of erecting a dwelling on his beautiful lot on Ohio street, con- sumated his plans last week by let- ting the contract to the builders.

Hornsby, the following: * * * “would it not be a good idea to have those democrats in Bates County, who stole ten votes from Burch and thus made Glazebrook sheriff by one majority, flock with them? Certainly it would, for no grosser outrage upon the ballot was ever perpetrated.” This insinuation is too indefinite to reply to except in kind—simple assertion, which never proves any- thing. If the editor of the Record will accompany his charge with spec- ifications as to what ten votes were stolen from Mr. Burch in Bates County, the writer will undertake to prove the statement to be malicious- ly false or the good editor of the Record stupidly ignorant of the facts. Citizen. can fit you out with the VERY BEST QUALITY. R. WEIL & CO. L. A. WEIL, Manager. NORTH SIDE SQUARE, Stephen College, For Young ates, Columbia, Mo., West Point Township. Misses M. Harris and Georgie Orear, two of Summit's favorite daughters, are visiting Miss Annie Nickell and attending the camp meeting. T. P. Crawford shipped a car load of hogs and cattle on the Ist. Misses Nell Fisher and Sena Hen- derson contemplate visiting Law- rence, Kansas, in the near future. The democratic boys of this town- ship met on Saturday night, July 28, and organized a Cleveland and Thurman club. W. W. Graves and J. W. Badger assisted the boys and gave them ringing speeches. They are true democrats and splendid speakers. The club is in good working order and will be heard from in the near future. Miss May Welton, of Butler, is visiting Mrs. W. J. Bard. On Saturday, Aug. 4th, the repub- licans organized their club and raised their flag on what is known as the Walley Mound. We say let her float, boys, for after Nov. 4th China- man Harrison and Wall Street Mor- ton will be numbered with things of the past and will have gone where the woodbine twineth. The social and ice cream supper given by Miss Renie Lewis in honor of her friend, Miss Dora L. Stewart, of Westport, Mo., was in every re- spect one of the most pleasant affairs it has ever been the lot of your cor- respondent to attend. When we arrived the house and grounds were all aglow with brilliant lights, while gay laughter and bright repartee echoed and re-echoed over all. There were about 35 present and to say that one and all enjoyed themselves would be but lightly expressing it. They dispersed at a late hour after returning their sincere thanks to Miss Renie and brothers, who ably assisted her in her duties during the evening. Miss Nora Graham, of Johnstown, is visiting her cousin, Miss Sadie G. Miss Nora is quite an intelligent and pleasant young lady and has made many friends during her stay.
