We are in receipt of the official Manual of the State of Missouri, for 1903-4 compiled by Secretary of State Sam B. Cook under an act of the legislature authorizing the same. This is one of the handiest reference books for state affairs that is pub- lished. It is being improved each time and this last one excells all the others. This one appears to be about perfect. If there is anything you want to know about Missouri you will find it in Cook’s Manual. Last week we furnished ourreaders with the speech of Hon. Joseph W. Folk, this week we give them an op- portunity to read the speech of Hon. James A. Reed, in opening his cam- paign forthe nomination for gover- nor at Sedalia last Saturday. These gentlemen are both able Democrats, worthy the high honor they seek, and we are anxious that our people read what they have to say and when the time comes to choose between them, do so dispassionately, without the abuse of either. Its mighty poor politics for Democrats to fightamong themselves. Major and Mrs. F. H. Crowell sus- tained their well earned reputation as royal entertainers at the reception given at their model home on last Wednesday evening. The interior was beautifully and artistically dec- orated with flowers, foliage plants and vines. Delicious refreshments > ed in the dining room and ices in the brary.

Kash, of Deep Water, was a pleasant caller on Tuesday and fa- vored us substantially. Mr. Kash is one of the leaders of the democrat- ic party in the county and is a pros- pective candivate for sheriff. He said a protracted meeting is being conducted at Johnstown by E'der Herrell, which is meeting with great success. Our esteem:d Virginia corres; ond- ent “Aaron” last week wrote that Presiding Judge McFadden had in- spected the rock being taken out for bridge abutments by the contractor. By one of those unfortunate and un- explainable occurrences the typo made the item read to appear that Judge'McFadden was the contrac- tor. Every one knows that the pre- siding judge couldn’t accept a con- he wouldn't if he could. We had the pleasure of meeting Miss Perry, press agent for the Wild West Show, and found her a charm- ing young lady, well intormed, bright and vivacious. She was travelingas the guest of the show for the purpore of gaining material on which to founda novel, She was also anxious to see the country through which they were traveling and meet the people. From another source we learn that she is the young lady who interested herself in securing pardons for the Younger brothers and with whom Jim Younger became very much attached and desired to marry, afterwards committing suicide be- cause being legally dead he could not @ntract a valid marriage. L. 8. Paddock and Mrs. Cenia Hoagland were united in marriage at Mound City, Kan., on last Wed- nesday. They are at home on their fine farm south of Virginia. Mr. Paddock has been a prominent stock- man in our county for a number of years and is known and highly re- garded by our people. He is an in- fluential Democrat and made 4 creditable race the last time for County Recorder. The bride is the widow of the late John M. Hoagland, she is a most estimable and charm- ing lady and very popular among herneignbors. THe Timesjoins their many friends in congratulations and very best wishes. . The writer spent Sunday at the Badgett home, 8 miles west of the |city. The country in that section presents a much improved appear- ance over conditions existing several years ago. Mrs. Badgett and sons, James and Wesley, have 240 acres of the best land in western Bates, an attractive home, a lot of good live stock and all home comforts. Why a young man should leave the farm , to come to town is something we never could explain, This home is another illustration why he should not.—K. H. Review, The Lecture Course. The meeting announced to be held on Friday night last was deferred until Tuesday Sept. 29th, at 7:30 _m. It is desired that as many as possible shall attend this meeting. Matters of very great importance are to be decided, and all interested are invited to be present and help in their decision. The meeting will be held at the First Presbyterian church J. E. Harver, President. Stax Ley VD. JEWEKLL, Sec’y. Sedalia Fair Grounds Fire. Sedalia, Mo., Sept. 21.—A $30,000 fire occurred at the Missouri state fair grounds at 4 o'clock this aiter- jnoon. It originated in cattle barn No.1, but in what manner is not known. Three heavy frame horse barns, each 60 by 120 feet and two beef barns, each of the same dimen. sions, were burned. The losson these is $20,00C with $5,000 insurance. In addition, ten M. K. & T. freight care, some of them partly loaded, the fire department building aud oth- er minor structures were burned. The agricultural, poultry, horticul- tural, eleven speed horse barns, the sheep and ewine buildings, adminis- tration building and yrandstand were not damaged. The revenue from the breeders’ bienniel fund will enable the fair association to rebuild all of the burned buildings in time for the fourth annual fair in 1904, Dissolution Notice.
