| BEST ChE MBROIDERIES AND APEST, J. M. McKIBBEN. Caucus is still king in every party of this country. So long has the caucus had the innings that it looks “sort of natural” to see it regulated that way. In the political notes of the east is the following: It is reported by those who have inside information that the Blair and Belva Lockwood booms are running neck and _ neck. An exchange says a german prince is to marry the daughter of a poet. The cable gives the information that it is purely a love match-an utterly needless statement, for if there is any one poorer than a poet it is tho‘average German Prince. If you want to buy or sella farm or make any kind of exchange, call on or write to Mize & Crarpy. The common insects you see are not slow goers by any means. The rapidity with which insects travel is astonishing. The common house fly makes 600 strokes per second when in the act of advance move ment of twenty-five feet.

Mizz & Crarpy. Communicated On last Friday evening, March 19, we had the pleasure of attending the closing exercises at the McNeil school house, and we must say it has seldom been our fortune to spend a more pleasant evening. Ar- rangements had been made to give an entertaimment for the purpose of raising a library fund. and the schol- ars and teacher, Miss Kate Mudd, assisted by the ‘-iends of the school gave an exhibition of which any dis- trict might well be proud. To say that the patrons are well pleased with the term of school just closed does not express the high esteem in which they held Miss Kate asa teacher and ourjhope is that we may have many more such instructors. We desire to extend our thanks to Mr. B. F. Bachos and family of Ev- erett for the music furnished by their band and his oratorical render- ing of “Fare-you-well Brother Wad- 'kins, Ab,” could not have been ex- celled. "Tho proceeds of evtertein- ment amounted to a little over fif- teen dollars. X. | Children Cry for | Pitcher’s Castoria. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. Children Cry for | Pitcher’s Castoria. A FRATRIDIDE. Joseph Emory Dies From Wounds In- | flicted by his Brother Charles— The Marderer in Jail at Warrensbare. Chas. B. Emory of Rose Hill) township, Johnson county—which | is seven miles west of Blairstown, | Henry county—shot and killed his| younger brother, Joseph Emory Sat- | urday noon, March, 12. Charles was | aged 26 years; Joseph about 21 | The editor of the Blairstown Ban- | her visited the Emory homestead | and thus writes what he saw and! heard: | “For a long time there has been a quarrel existing between the Emo- rys. Many threats have been made and epithets exchanged. When they resided the farm rented by Charles, he frequently threatened to drive his mother away. He ordered first one and then the other to leave until they became tired of the haugh- ty domineering fellow and moved to the Duck farm, which was rented by Joe. | They had resided short time when Charles made his appearance, and upon being requst- ed to leave, premptorily refused un- less accompanied by the girl, who re sided there, May Powell When this portion >f the particulars was reached it became appareut that there was in the «ase. | This theory was strengthened end finally it became known that both brothers had been paying court to the same lass. Joe was the favored suitor, and the knowledge of this is what prodded Charles and caused him to suffer the pangs known only to the rejected suitor. As she would there only a a woman not cast her lot with him he decided to blot her future and wreak his yengeance upon Joe by committing murder. Saturday, as Joe was partaking of his noonday repast and cheering the heart of his aged mother, little did he think that his bother,then sittirg in the doorway was then fuarboring a@murderous intent in his heart. Charles arose and left. Joe finished his meal and was leaving the house accompavied by his ten year od brother, and had only proceeded about 80 feet when Charles stepped from behind an outhouse gun in hand. Uttering a curse he raised the gun and fired. fell to the ground with a ghastly wound in his side. Hearing the report the oczu- pants of the house dashed out. The thicd boy started toward Charles for the purpose of seizing the gen,when the murderous weapon was directed at him and he was commanded to stand. Paralyzed with fear he obey- ed, another shot was then fired at the prostrate man, but without effect. Charlies then gave up the gun and hastened to the barn where his sad- led horse was waiting, mounted aud rode hurriedly to Holden. There he boarded the first train for War- rensbug and surrendered to the au- thorities. The weapon used was a number 12 double barrel shot gun. Joe Aid for the Confederate Home. The well being aud successful management of the Confederate home at Higginsville should bea matter of interest not only to the ex Confederates but to everyone in whom the “milk of human kindness” is to be found. It is proposed that on April 5, at the annual school meeting, each school district raise $10, which in the aggregate will be sufficient to accomplish wonders. This sum can be raised in ary man- ner deemed desirable—either by subscription or the holding of en- tertainments. It is further suggest- that in towns or cities whereno meetings are held a committee of young men be appointed to solicit covtributions and make up the quo- to. If this request is strictly com- plied with the Confederate home will receive requisite funds to meet all demands. Let Bates county promptly do her part. An Impertant Diiterence.

Late Chamist U. 8. Department of Agrigultare, Waabington, D.@, Saturday's Convention. Rich Hill Review. The endorsement of Capt. J. D. Allen as delegate by the county con- vention at Butler last Saturday was not only an expression of the senti- ment of the county democracy, but a rebuke to those who had made une just warfare ou a fellow democrat. It was the proper thing and the on- ly thing the conyention could do and maintain that spirit of fairness which dominates the average voter— and especially the democratic voter. | The friends of Col. Coleman made a gallant fight for that gentleman, and considering that Mr. Coleman was not a eandidate and made no effort in his »wo behalf (merely consent- ing at che eleventh hour) to the use of his 1ame, showed him to be a foe- man werthy the steel of any oppo- nent. We doubt if any other demo- crat in ‘he county could have rallied the sane strength on similar notice, and dnwn the same number of votes fram Capt. Allen. But as it was buta family difference,all is now over, unl in the next test of strength many ofthose arrayed against each other ths time will no doubt stand together It was a pleasing specta- cle to see Messrs Coleman and Al- len vittiug together throughout the hottest oi the fight, complaceutly and smiligly viewing the contest; and whenall was over Col. Coleman Was the tle first to bestow his con- gratulatios. This is the proper spirit. Lt us perpetuate it. Prize Centest.

And they hold the prices down. Not | down one day and up the next, but down all the time. Their goods are ; of the finest quality. They have no ; poor quality of goods in their house of any kind. They say they are more | particular about sending out good goods on account of the insinuations j that have been practiced by some other grocerymen, that our goods were not first-class. They had to | have some excuse for uot selling as cheap, and they eitber had to say cheap quality or short weight, or both, in order to hold the customers to their high prices. The people haye found out that the Williams boys are giving good goods and full | weight, and warrant everything they sell to be as represented. When a merchant tells you that Williams boys are giving short weights, ora poor quality of goods, or their sugar is full of dirt, (as some have done,) | you can tell them, that if their con- science was as pure and clean as | Williams boy's goods they would be better off. They ask everyone that drys goods from them to be sure | and weigh each article to see that it | weighs out, and they will give five, } pounds for every pound short weight | found against them. 18-1t. | | contingent and teachers’ 'C.
