He was one of the Bates county boys to go to the front inthe Spanish war. He enlisted with the regulars, but after the war was over was glad to return to civil pursuits, Elmer E Miller, our tile man, was @ pleasant ealler on Tuesday and had his dates set ahead. He inform- ed us that he is not now making tile owing to the ecarcity of suitable clay for that purpose, but ships the tiling in and constantly keeps on handa supply sufficient to meet legitimate demands. Mr. Miller thinks it a bad year to agitate sewerage, owing to the high price of tiling. Inquiry is made through Recorder, T. K, Lisle, by Rev. J. W. Mougey, of Malta, Ohio, for a brother, John N. Mougey, who left his homein Scio- to County, Ohio, in 1-75. His par- ents have since died and left him some property.

Hunt on the day named. It might be remarked on the side that just now would be a good time to contract for the winter's sup- ply of coal from Charley, as he is feel ing liberally inclined over the arrival of an heir to his fortune.—Appleton City journal. An exchange notes the difference in the amount of provisions required for men and women on a fishing trip. When a party of men or boysgo fish- ing they usually procure half a doz en loaves of bread and $9 worth of other provisions. Three ladies go- ing to the river to spend the day fish ing, drove up infront of a grocery store to lay in a supply for the trip and what do you think they bought? Just five cents worth of gum. In his testimony before the St. Louis grand jury, Col. W. H. Phelps said: “I have known thirteen of the fourteen members of the legislature to which St. Louis is entitled to be bar-tenders, not one of whom hada dollar’s worth of property, and would not know a tax receipt were they to find onein the street.” There is no exists as a special act of Providence There is no known form of life which would survive such abuses without supernatural intervention —Nevada Post.

Brooks for Lieuten- ant governor, A woman called at the mortuary office of Chicago for a copy of her husband's certificate. She could not recall his name, however, and so the record could not be found. W. 8. Thompson and wile, of Mingo, were in the city on Monday. Mr. T. favored us pleasantly and had his dates set ahead. He is a sub- stantial young farmer and influential Democrat of that township. Our old triend George Jury favored us pleasantly and substantially. He recently returned from atrip through Kansas, He was well pleased with the parts of that state he visited, and especially Greenwood county. Our office was complimented on Monday, by a pleasant call from W. H. Dunn, a substantial farmer and early settler of Grand River. He said corn is looking well in his sec- tion, has improved greatly in the past two weeks. Masters Warreti and Leslie Du vall entertained a number of their little friends and paymates last week at the home of their parents Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Duvall. The little fel lows had lots of fuu, not the least of it waa in disposing of the “goodies” prepared by Mrs. Duvall. Prof. Jocquin Harper has resigned the principalship of the Webster school to accept a position with the Farmers Bank, Prof. Harper is an educated gentleman, with ability and energy. He is very popular with all who know him and the bank is very fortunate in securing his services. Chas. R. Radford informs us of a very successful revival and camp meeting at Spruce. He attended last Sunday and said there was an immense throng of people present and greatinterest taken. Rev. Hobbs an evangelist is conducting the meet. ing. Many converts have been made. The State railroad and Warehouse commissioners announce public hear- ings at the Coates House in Kansas City, October Gth to 9th and South- ern Hotel, St. Louis, Oct. 12 to 16, at which time both the railroads and the public will be given an opportu- nity to be heard, on the question of ed ng and read rates of Missouri. It is important that shippers attend these meetings. Miss Mary Francis Ozment, of Holton, Kansas, and Charles Bailey, of St. Louis, were married by Pro bate Judge Silvers at his oftice on Monday last. We acknowledge a pleasant call from the bridal couple, chaperoned by Mrs. Anna Campbell, and Henry Tilson, an old line Demo- erat and early settler of New Home township. The bride is a winsome. pretty little blonde; the groom a sturdy young Missourian, with the ability to take care of himself. Three-fourths of the bay made in Missouri is cut too late, says Cole- man’s Rural World. Instead of being cutin the period of bloom the grasses are allowed to ripen and the main part of the nutriment they contain is carried to the development of the seed, and about all that is left in the stalke is woody fiber, almost totally lacking in nutritive qualities. One might as well feed wood to bis stock so far as nutriment is concerned. On @ late trip to Northern Missouri we were surprised to see 80 many mead- ows standing uncut. Certainly more than one-half of the feeding qualities ofthe hay has been lost by this delay in making hay. These meadows should have been cut a month ago’ It is & great lose to the farmingcom- munity and a loss to the consumers of hay to delay to this late period the important matter of harvesting the hay crop. stock it has ever been our pleasure to offer to our cus- tomers.
