Sedalia, Mo., Deg, 28.—J ames Turn- er, 90 years old, and Ann Tyler, 98, | ex-sluves, were burned to death ina] fire which destroyed their home north of this city this morning. A barber at Sedalia, named RB. C. Williams, left suddenly Sunday morning, leaving his wife and five children behind, An Atchison bride had printed on her calling cards, “At Home Wednes day Afternoons,” After six months’ marriage, she had added, ‘“‘andevery day in the week and can’t get the work done then.” We learn of the death yesterday of Israel Long, who resided some five miles northeast of this city, Mr Long fell from a wagon on Friday jast, receiving internal injuries which proved fatal. He was about 72 years of age —Rich Hill Review, 25. Deputy Cirenit Clerk C. M.

When the dessert was passed, one of the guests remarked upon the beautiful appearance of the pie, and inquired how she got such a pretty “seallop” on its edge. He nearly fell dead when she replied, “Oh that is easy: | just use my false teeth,” —Ex James Culver, an old settler aud substantial citizen of Hudson town ship, remembered us pleasantly and substantially on Monday. He relat ed rather an odd freak of nature which came under his observation a few years ago. A quail had her nest next toa hen, Both hatched their broods about the same time and three of the quail were white. He said the flock ranged near his house, were very tame and he often saw those white quail until after they were full grown. Did any of our readers ever see or hear of a white quail before? Bert Bard and C. A. Smith have butchered a lot of hogs during the past two weeks. On account of the low price of hogs they concluded that it would be more profitable to kill them here and sell the meat thereby saving the freight both ways as well as saving the immense profits of the packers. This is a logical conclusion and why would it not be profitable at all times to do this. We can see no necessity of shipping live hogs to Kansas City to have them butchered and then having them shipped back here to sell to the original purchaser. —Collins Advance. At the home of Mr. and Mra. J. M. Cumpton in Deepwater township a very pleasant Christmas was spent. Among the guests present were Mr. and \ ra. J. H. Dapbourn, Mrs. Lutz enbiser, her son Dell and daughter Miss Mae of Kansas City, Mr. Joe Boreland and family, Dr. V.J. Cump: ton and family and others. At 1 o'clock sharp Mrs. Cumption ar- nounced dinner and we were all soon seated around a nicely decorated table which groaned with many lux- uries of delicious and wholesome food that was prepared by the hand of Mrs. Cumpton. She is now in her 66th year. Mr. Cumptona man of 71 summers who beare his years lightly was in a jolly mood which is characteristic of the old gentleman all of the children and grandchildren of this good old father and mother were present on this occasion except one son whose absense was due to sickness.
