The citizens of St. Clair county, acting on the advice of Judge Plul- lips in the lecture to the county | Judges, held a meeting at Osceola last week for the purpose of formu lating me plan by which the bounded debt of that county could be comprouised. The original bond- ed debt, issued in 1870 to the Cli ton and Memphis Branch of the Te- bo and Neosho railroad was $250,000. Of this the county pureh: 1 $19,- O00, leaving the balance ¥251.000, which has grown until Creek town s to mind sc ence of lities to it has reached the enormous sum of $900.- 000. Resolutions were passed at this meeting favoring a compromise by issuing 3 per cent bonds to the amount of the original bonds issued $231,000 This would be a good compromise for the county, and we hope boud holders may see it to their interest to accept it. know whether a gentier Adrian Jour A Beautiful Home For sale, one block from the square, six rooms, good well aud cistern, 80 fruit trees and all kinds of shade | trees.

Elegant Fashion Books. | The uew fashion journals, “La | Mode,” La Mode de Paris” and “Al- | bum des Modes,” published by A. | McDowell & Co, 4 West 14th street | New York, are the most elegant of | their kind ever brought to our no | tice. The styles are drawn by the best artists; and the books are pro- duced by rival houses in Paris, each ‘trying to excel the otber in the character of its publications. Form- | erly they were printed only in French: but now they are published in En- glish for the use of American read- ers. These journals furnish the ‘styles one month in advance of any similar publications; and they have a practical department, in which les- sons are givien each month on how to make dresses, ete. The admira- ble fashions, the lessons in dressmak- ing, and the giving of the styles one month earlier than heretofore are strong points in favor of these fash- ion books, causing them to be called “The Favorites.” These excellent. publications can be obtained from all newsdealers.
