Hinton states that he and his excellent wife are enjoying good healtn and that they contem- plate a visit to Missouri this fall. Prof. Hinton is an excellent gentle- man and has a host of friends in this county who will always rejoice to learn of his prosperity. Judge Boxley, J. R. Hales, C. A. Denton and J. H. Rayburn divided time at Pleasant Gap on Saturday afternoon. A large crowd was pres- entand strict attention was given to the speaking. This is what the dem ocrats want, a fair hearing and full and free discussion of party meas- ures and policies. It has veen well asked, how long has it been since the Rads-made a staight campaign in Missouri? They hid in 1874 with Gentry, and were grangers. In 1884 they went with Ford and were Greenbackers. They have always been ready to barter principle for a chance st the public crib. Boys you must wait till we pay off the twenty one million dollar Yebt you left on the state.—Lamar Democrat. The negroes had their emancipa- tion picnic on last Thureday. In- stead of being a patriotic celebration the republican leaders captured the caravan and turned it into a Warner rally. Such patriotic banners as “50 negro votes in Bates for Warner,” “800 democratic votes in Vernon county for Warner,” were displayed all along the line. On the day be- fore a negro was around begging assistance of democrats to make the picnic a success, and claimed that it would be non-political. The repub- licans have a strong cinch on the negro vote. The following are the appoint- ments of the southwest Missouri M. E. church south for the Nevada dis- trict: M. M.

Harness, who lives six miles north of this place, purchased a Cy- clone wheat screen from A. VanHall last season, and in screening the wheat that was cown on his farm realizes an increase in weight per bushel over that which was sown without screened, the screened wheat weighing 61 to 62 pounds to the bushel. while the unscreened weigh- ed only 58} punds to the bushel, and the sereened wheat is much bet- ter in every way. Mr. Harness is terribly elated over ihe matter, and he contends that it will well pay all farmers to purchase a screen and clean their seed wheat before sow- ing it. Mr. Harness has delivered 450 bushels of wheat to Baker Bros., this week, and he informed us that he had just finished sowing 160 aeres of wheat—Montrose Signal. It Was a Good Show. Free Pross, Streator, Ill., Jane 8, 1382, Walter L. Main’s big railroad show exhibited in Streator yesterday and there was a good attendance at both performances. The program 'was a good one aud everything ad- ' vertised was to be seen there—some- thing unheard of in the circus busi- ness. There were three rings and a continual round of pleasing and startling acts. At Butler, October 8. Badly Hurt. Geo. Crooks, a young man living near Virginia, was seriously hurt Saturday evening by being thrown from his cart by a runaway horse. At the time the accident occurred he was going down a hill and one of the hold back straps attached to the breeching gave way and the cart ran against the horse which took fright. The first lunge the avimal gave the seat of the cart gave way and Mr. Crook was thrown violently on a pile of rocks in the bed of a branch which he was crossing. In the fall the bones in his left arm about mid- way between the wrist and elbow was crushed; a long gash was cnt over the left eye and the skull frac- tured. Heo also received a bad cut under the eye and the skin on the end of his nose was pealed off. He were picked up and carried to the home of Perry Henderson, near by where the accident occurred, and a messenger dispatched to town for Dr. Boulware who on arriving set the arm and sewed up the cuts in the head and made him as comfort- able as could be expected. Joint Discussion. Jno. W. Duncan and Jno. Taggart, two prominent democrats of Adrian, were in the city the last of the week and informed us that all arrange ments had been completed for a joint debate between Hon. Richard Dalton for the democrats, and J. D. Whipplo for the populists, at Adrian, on to-morrow, the 29th inst. Mr. Dalton was billed to speak in Adrian on that day and consented to divide the time and discuss the issues with union labor champion. Mr. Dalton is ove of the most fluent and gifted orators of the state, thoroughly un- derstands the principles and tenets of the democratic party; is a farmer and an alliance member. He went into the order like many other good | democrats with the understanding that it was non political, but he stayed and fought the third party- ites to a finish when they attempted to turn the order into a political machine. Everybody should turn out and hear these gentlemen. Once for all, the statement that Chas. H. Morgan was a colonel of a negro regiment, is false. We speak by the card. He was never a colonel of a negro regiment, or any other kind of a regiment; he is not eyen a Missouri colonel. He never was an officer of or belonged to a negro regiment; in fact he never saw a ne- gro regiment during the war. Hon. Charles H. Morgan enlisted in the Ast Wisconsin infantry in the early part of the war, be was promoted to a line officer of the 21st Wisconsin infantry, and at the close of war was captain of Co. H—Lamar Demo- crat. The Warrensburg Star says that Mr. Kiersey, an inmate of the Con- federate home at Higginsville, has had an eye “amputated.” The eye had been shot out during the war, and the stump left had become so very painfal, thus necessitating the operation. Mr. Kiersey is from Bates county and for a long time carried the mail from Butler to LaCygne, Kansas. He suffered a great deal with his eyes which unfitted him for business. He is a worthy man. Every testimonial regarding Hood's Sarsaparilla is an honest, unpurchased seatement of what this medicine has actually done. ' | War and the Tariff | Sentiment and association have \done much to fasten the protective | tariff on the American people. The ; man whose son fell at Chancellors- ville has had the tenderest emotions of his heart played upon by thieves and the agents of thieves that they might roll in luxury. They were willing to give him the memories of that bloody day if Le would give them licence to plunder him and his neighbor. The man whose father died with face to the foe at Antietam that afternoon in September thirty years ago has been voting for tariff and privilege all these years because he could not turn his back upon a piece of paper labeled “Republican”. The man whose brother perished on the front line at Chickamauga, the man who as a youth experience the mighty exuliation of victory at Get- tysburg and the crippled veteran who left a leg or anarm at Donelston have been surely counted upon by the erafty proponents of this system, be- cause it was known that sentiment and association were strong and that even Enaves could touch chords in the human heart whose vibrations could be exactly predicted in ad vanec- The sacrifices of war were many and terrible, but not even the anguish of the time itself was more touching than have been the deprivations suf- fered by millions since that period in the name of patriotism.—Chicago Herald. “Tired Allthe Tine,” Is the complaint of many poor movz- tals, who know not where to find re lief. Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses just those elements of strengih which you so earnestly crave, it will build you up, give you an appetite, Try it. Hood's Pills act especially upon the liver, rousing it from stupidity to its natural duties, cure constipa- tion and assist digestion. The following glowing tribute was paid Mr. Cleveland by Carl Schurz: “T certainly do not pretend that Mr. Cleveland is the ideal man or the greatest stateman of all times. He no doubt has his limitations, weaknesses and shortcomings. But he possesses in u mou measures those qualities whi desirable in a public serve with great responsibilities. He has has a patriotic heart. clear head. of right. He hes a good knowledge of affeirs. He is a party man but nota party slaye. He is true to duty regardiess of personal interest. This is not only the judgment of his friends,but ulso of his opponents, a_ will. He He has # strong sense @ conscience, who, in a campaign like this, wish they might not have to admit it. There is today no public man in America so widely and well known and so generally and sincerely re- spected as Mr. Cleveland is.
