Sam Celeman, one of the best | democrats and all around citizens of the southeast part of the county, gave us a pleasant call Tuesday while in the city. Our good friend CO. H. Morrison, of Charlotte township, called te see us fora few minutes Tuesday, and believe he ie getting ready to turn the cold shoulder to the pop party, as he actually talked prosperity and expansion.

D. A. Colyer’s fine stallion, Dr. Cox, was taken to the Nevada fair Monday, where he will be entered in the races. He was in charge of Bob Colyer, who will do the driving.

The headless body of a man was feund in the North Canadian river near Oklahoma, City Friday. The body was clad only in a shirt and underclothing, the latter marked with the lettera, A. J. E. The body had evidently been wrapped in arag carpet as several yards were fastened to his feet with a rope. From the appearance of the body the man was about thirty years of age and weigh- ed about 140 pounds. We understand that the matter of macadamizing Ohio street is assum- ing tangible shape and the prospects are extremely favorable that the street will be put in a first clasé con- dition from the square to the depot in due time. It is reported that centractors have a large force of men and boys at work breaking rock and that soon the street will be graded, curbing made and the macadam laid Then it will be raid that a long felt want bas been filled. The corn grower would be strictly in it this year if be got a fair price per bushel for bis corn, but unfor- tunately for aim, however, it begins to leok tike MeKinley’s prosperity is net going to strike his cribs and the prevailing price will be about 15 cents a bushel. MoKinley will hedge om this, however, by claiming eredit for the big yield and over production tor the low price What the farmer wants and needs is an open market and free silver. Teddy Austin, local editor of the Record, got in a big seoop on the Butler papers last week On receipt ef the news of the grewsome find of a dead man on the banks of the Marias des Cygnes river, he bit like a young jsy bird and post haste hied himself off to the scene of the find. He left tewn in a round about way to dodge ether newspaper re- porters and came home by the back door.

Jenkias (colored) editor of | the Free Silver Democratic Journal | of St Louis, spent a couple of days| in town last week soliciting sub-| scriptions for his paper, and talking straight democracy to the colored people of this city. _ Mr. Jenkins has been engaged in the work of} organizing | negro democratic free silver clubs in the different towns in the state, and said he had been quite successful in the undertaking. He formerly lived in Mississippi, where | he was prosecuting attorney of Bol | ivar county, and also represented | his district in the state senate. In the campaign of 1896 he did good work on the stump for Bryan, speak- ing mostly in the eastern states. He predieted a red hot campaign in 1900 and Bryan a sure winner. Mr. Jenkins is a right bright fellow, and as an evidenee that he is all right, carried with him a strong recom-| mendation from Sam Cook, chairman of the democrotic state committee. Rich Hill Review —W. OC. Hedden left for Butler at noon to attend a meeting of the officers and commit- tees of the old settlers soeiety, to fix a date for the annual meeting of that venerable body. Mr. Hedden has reeided in Bates or on the line be tween Bates and Vernon and was quite a fossil when he arrived (from old Kaintuck ) The Review is mis- representing this stalwart old Ken- tuckian and adopted Missourian. Mr. Hedden called on the Times Saturday being in the city on busi ness as above stated. He chatted quite a while but didn’t stay half long enough He was as chirppy as ared bird and has good style and action and to call him ‘‘a fossil” is vile slander. We examined him carefully and found neither barnacle on his feet or moss on his back But a noble fellow with a big heart and a head chuek full of gray matter of a superior quality. Uncle Bill left us a couple ot 16 to 1 wheels on sub- scription and said he had intended to bring us a big watermelon but forgot it in his excitement to get over to see Uncle Ben Scott G. D. Arnold, formerly of Summit tewnship, but now of Seymere, Ind, was in the city yesterday and called on the Truzs He was back te look after a fine farm be owns near Hol- den, Mo., and to visit his daughter, Mrs. Ollie Radford, east of town. He came back with the intention of sewing wheat 0a his farm and mov- iog back in the fall But leoking the greund over and the failure of the crop this season, he concluded to spend the winter in Indiana, and will come back here in the spring. Since living im Indiana he bas been railroading. He said the best crops in Indiana thia year were wheat and eats. He reports times clore in In- diana, and many of the factories were shuttiny down.

A MeSmock lost a fine Poland China sow in a strange manner last week. He sent a bey who had worked for him to water the sow at noon and ia pouring the water into the treugh it struek the animal on the back. She was very hot and the effect of the cold water killed her instantly. The sow cost $40 whena pig and wasa very fine one. She had a fine litter of pigs a few days old, which are deinz nicely.—Rieh- ards Progrese. “For the Sake of Fun, Mischief is Done.'’ A vast amount of mischief is done, too, because people neglect to keep | their blood pure. The mischief ap- pears in eruptions, dyspepsia, indi- gestion, nervousness, kidney disease and other ailments.
