It was a little girl, about ten years of age, driving a mover’s wagon which contained her mother down with a fever, a very sick woman. They had come from North Missouri and were on their way to Joplin, where the mother thought she had a sister-in- law living. The mother had been sick for eignt or nine days and when they reached Adrian she was unable to travel further. The good ladies of the town, finding out her true condition, stopped the wagon, rented a house and made the two as com- fortable as possible. Dr. Gilmore was called and took the case in charge. Mr. Franklin says the ladies of Adrian were very attentive, lend- ing the unfortunate ever aid in their power. The little girl had cared for her as best she could, but said the people along the road where they had applied for aid would pay no attention to them. 15 pounds for one dollar of good brown sugar at Wright & Wall, west side square.

The Trxes was interested in the appointed of Ira McConnell as a cadet to West Point, and was partic- ularly gratified over his appointment by the board of examiners at Neva- da on the 5th inst. Perhaps we were more interested in his success from the fact that he had been an appren- tice in this office, and from his man- ly conduct, politeness and good be- havior had won our highest esteem. There were twenty-two applicants for the appointment, seyeral of whom were regular college graduates, but honors in the contest, with S. C. Ar- nold, as alternate. He will go to West Point next June, and the Tres | Wednesday and Thursday, havin, predicts he will acquit himself in such a manner as to take front rank in his classes at the very start, and graduate at the head of his class.

Trves: Mr. Newsom’s article was read at the club the other night and I was ap- pointed a committee to investigate him and report as to the probability of his doing as he promises. I find that Mr. Newsom don’t always come totime. Instance: Some years ago he promised if we would make him a J. P. he would quit telling yarns. Last spring he said if the citizens of Butler would elect him alderman the town dogs would be seized of a deadly epidemic at once. He promised the citizen in the east end that if elected he would cause the sulphur well to flow ten feet higher than the Clinton well and with twice the volume. He told the people of West Butler he would bring pressure on Jay Gould that would bring a new depot and round houses to them at once. He also promised, at his own expense, | to furnish gas for the whole town | sity of electric lights, and also to abolish dog fennel, rag weed and tin cans in the corporate limits. He hasn't done it, Mr. Editor, and we are agin him at the Corner. Tore. The Boss Auctioneer.
