The Clinton Tribune tells the fol- lowing story of the woes of a preacher: “Rev. J. J. Stone is limping badly, a result of letting an ax slip while chopping, sliciog into hie foot severe- ly. In the other limb he has erysipe- las. To these troubles the cyclone added $100 loss to the roof of his residence, and he has a young cow that got hurt and is about to die. Prof. J. M. Taylor was elected su- perintendent of the Marshall, Mo, public schools on Monday, and ac- cepted. He is now there and his fam- ily willmove in a shorttime. Profes- sor Taylor has been superintendent of the Butler schools for several years with the very best of satisfaction. The echools have prospered under his supervision. He is a highly educated, cultured gentleman, with executive ability, push and energy. Our board had re-elected him for the ensuing year, but released him that he might accept a better paying posi- tion. Prof. Taylor and his excellent family leave many friends in Butler who regret their departure but wish them well. ——— court last Saturday it was decided to appropriate the sum of $250 to make an agricultural exhibit of Henry county products at the NY 0 World's Fair. Clay Adair was ap- pointed to arrange the display.— Clinton Tribune. The selection of Judge W. W. Graves of Bates to try the boodle eases at Jefferson City when Judge Hazell was sworn off the bench is quite a compliment to Judge Graves, as well as to Bates county. All who know Judge Waller W. Graves feel perfectly assured that he will dis- charge his duties in a fearless, impar- tialand thorough manner.—Rich Hill Review. Our popular young friend Joe Whip- ple, of Pleasant Gap, was a pleasant caller on Monday and renewed. Joe is now justice of the peace of his town- ship, which has given him a certain dignity which always attends judicial! positions. He says he hasn’t fined anybody tor contempt yet, but is going around with a chip on his shoulder, determined to uphold the dignity of his ceurt A splendid rain on Thursday even- ing and again on Sunday put every body in a good humor. While it will need rains through the whole of this month to insure a corn crop, owing to the lateness of the spring, we have the utmost assurance we will getthem., Small grain and hay have yielded abundantly, and a favorable season was had for savingit. Our farmers have been blessed abundant- ly, which means prosperity for usall, Presiding Judge Jno. W. McFad den favored us pleasantly on Mon- day morning. In the county's bust- ness, like his own, Judge McFadden takes great interest, and looks after it closely, even to the minutest de- tail. Hesaid the court would goout to view some of the bridges reported in damaged condition, and see what repairs are necessary, With Judge McFadden and his splendid asso ciates Judges March and Bruce, the county has an active, progressive court, that looks well to the interest of the people. Human nature in Lowa does not seem to differ materially from human nature in South Carolina. At Farm- ington, lowa, @ negro assaulted a white girl, using a razor, and was promptly lynched. It is all right to moralize and plead for the law, but these lvuchings will continue so long asthe negroes pursue their present course At Danville, IIl., a negro killed a white man, the negro was lynched and @ race riot was the re sult, soldiers being necessary to re store order, Prof. H. L. Couchman is home from Warrensburg, where he finished the Normal course. He made us a pleasant call on Monday and had his paper changed to Colecamp, Mo., where he has been elected superin- tendent of the public schools for the comingyear. He expects togodown in a few days to prepare his courses of study and map out the year’s elected O. D. Austin secretary, vice} work.

Poffenbarger, on Sunday, August 2nd, aftera protracted Illness. Emily Simpson was born ju Belleville, Ills., January 25th, 1831, She was mar- ried to Williaun Dent Moore, January 24,1850. To this marriage six chil- dren were born, two of whom survive, Mrs. Joe Meyer and William Moore; Mrs. Laura Poffenbarger, another daughter, died this spring. She was married to A. 8. Badgley July 1s, 1871. Cameto Butlerin 1876, where she has since resided. She united with the M. E. Church when 18 years ofage and went with the southern branch where the chureh was divided. She has lived a consistent christian life. She was devoted to her chil- dren, was of a retiring nature, kind, loving and sympathetic. She bore her bodily afflictions of the past few years, with Christain fortitude, and died in the faith, Funeral services were conducted from the residence at 2:30 o'clock on Tuesday, by Rey. T. ©. Puckett, of the M. E. | Church south, and interment was made fn Oak Hill cemetery, Floral tributes were very beautiful. Wheat Burned. Jones Bros., living on the old Me- Kenna farm, south of Butler, had four large stacks of wheat burned on | Thursday last caused by lightning. | They had but recently finished stack- | ing wheat from eighty acres, which | made eight stacks. By hard work | they succeeded in saving half of it. They estimate their loss at four hun- | dred bushels, and it was of asplendid | quality.. Messrs. Jones informed us on Saturday that they had $100 in- | surance on grain, but were uncertain as to whether the policy covered | grain in the stack. In speaking of Judge Graves’ selec- tion to try the boodle cases of Jeffer- son City the St. Clair County Demo- crat says: “The selection of Judge Graves will inspire confidence that the trials will be bopessiy and impartially conduct- ed; that the innocent will be allowed to depart without prejudice and the ilty will be punished. Judge Graces is honest. In ability he is above the average, and he looks up- on the boodle prosecutions with eyes not blinded by prejudice. Nomatter what may be the final verdict the reputation of the Judge will be suffi- cient to carry conviction that all rties were treated fairly and their [otereste properly protected. And this action upon the part of Judge Hazell may aleo result in the inaugu- ration of a buom that will carry Judge Graves on to the supreme bench ” The Nevada papers tell of the acc’- dental killing of an aged farmer, by name of Dorman, by the cars last week. Dorman was walking on the track four or five miles north of Nevada. He was facing the train and itis a mystery why he did not step out of the way. The body was mangled and both feet cus off. | Sheriff Butcher has determined to work county prisoners on the im- mense drift at the Osage bridge at Osceola. The large logs are to be removed and converted into fuel for use of the county officials at the court house. Mr. Butcher's idea might be termed a three - fold bless- ing—keeping the county officials sup- plied with fuel, the county criminals and removing an unsightly drift from the bridge.—A ppelton City Tribune, SEMI-ANNUAL CLEANING U SALE.
