Our county correspondents will oblige us very much by handing io their communications not latter than Tuesday. This will insure their publication besides being a great accommodation tothe printer.

The Sedalia fair grounds, former- ly Sicher Park, containing 40 acres, have been sold under deed of trust and purchased for the heirs of Henry Leyser of Alton, Ill.. for $21,700.

Bethel church in Spruce township three miles southwest of Ballard, was struck by lightning Friday morning and totally destroyed by fire. The building and furnishings were valued at $1,400 As there was no insur- ance it was a total loss.

Bingham, of Schell City, in jumping from a moving train at the Nevada depot Friday night was bad ly injured. In reporting the acci- dent the Mail says: The bridge of Mr. Bivgham’s nose was broken, and most of its bone was removed. A deep hole was cut beneath the left eye extending to the nostril, and an bad wound on the back of his head extending three inches in length and completely to the bone. He was also badly bruised about the body. For a time he was unconscious. County court will meet next Mon- day. At this term bids on the jail will again be opened and tue con tract for the construction of the building will be let. In this last letting the plan of the court was changed from its former position, and it is anticipated competition will be sharper, and the slight delay in the erection of the jail will be sav- of several hundred dollars to the county. In the first proposition the court selected and asked bids on certain steel cages, which virtual- ly gave one company a monopoly on the bidding. The present plan gives all manufacturers of jail supplies an equal chance. The brick and car- penter work as we understand, it will be let in compact or separates This gives each contractor an oppor- tunity to bid on the work and opens up an avenue for sharp competition. The Tiwes is glad to see the court using precaution in this matter of public improvement and hopes they will get the best returns for the money expended. The court expect to complete the jail ready for use in side of the ten thousand limit. Summer Weakness.
